ADVERTENCIA:
INSTRUCCIONES PARA PROTECCIÓN CONTINUA CONTRA LA EXPOSICIÓN
EXCESIVA DE RADIACIÓN ULTRA VIOLETA

1. Muchas luminarias VARI❋LITE® usan un tipo de lámpara HID que produce radiación
UV. NO mire directamente a la lámpara.

2. Es peligroso operar luminarias sin lentes o protectores. Debe cambiar los protectores,
lentes o pantallas ultravioletas si se aprecia que han sido dañadas, y que su efectividad
pudiera estar deteriorada. Por ejemplo, si tuvieran rajaduras o raspaduras profundas.

ADVERTENCIA:
INSTRUCCIONES PARA PROTECCIÓN CONTRA LESIONES DE PERSONAS

1. Las superficies exteriores de las luminarias están calientes durante su operación. Use un
equipo de seguridad apropiado (guantes, protección para los ojos, etc.) cuando haga
ajustes en el equipo y componentes que están calientes.

2. Cuando las luminarias están en operación la lámpara estará muy caliente. Desconecte la
energía y deje que la lámpara se enfríe antes de reemplazarla.

3. Las lámparas de arco emiten radiaciones ultravioletas que pueden ocasionar serias
quemaduras a la piel e inflamación a los ojos. Además, las lámparas de arco operan a alta

Power and Data Cabling Requirements

Power

The luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 200-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Five amps to twelve amps will be required.

Depending on the application, the luminaire’s AC input cable may require a different
connector. If required, install a new connector meeting your requirements using the
following wire color code reference:

Wire* Connection

Green/Yellow AC Ground

Blue AC Neutral

Brown AC Line

* International (Harmonized) Standard

WARNING: DO NOT connect to three-phase service in countries with 240 volt
power.

Note: The lamp will not strike below 180 volts RMS.

For single-phase power at 200-240 volts RMS:

Data Cables

The luminaire is equipped with two, 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA IN and DATA
THRU (out) applications. DATA IN requires a 5-pin, female XLR connector and
DATA THRU requires a 5-pin, male XLR connector. When purchasing or
constructing data cables, it is important that not only the correct cable type be used,
but also quality cable to ensure a reliable DMX512 system. Your cabling should meet
the following USITT DMX specification requirements:

• Suitable for use with EIA485 (RS485) operation at 250k baud.

• Characteristic impedance 85-150 ohms, nominally 120 ohms.

• Low capacitance.

• Two twisted pairs.

• Foil and braid shielded.

• 24 AWG min. gauge for runs up to 1000 feet (300m).

• 22 AWG min. gauge for runs up to 1640 feet (500m).

Note: Microphone type cables and other general purpose, two-core audio or signal
cables are not suitable for use with DMX512.

Refer to the USITT Recommended Practice for DMX512 guide for additional
information regarding DMX512 systems. How to obtain a copy is detailed in

“Additional Support and Documentation” on page 1.

The XLR 5-pin connectors should be wired as follows:
