INPUT POWER WIRING
The fixed power cord is roughly 4.4 feet, 1.35m in length and is supplied as standard with US
color coding and bare tails. For international installations, wire according to local codes.

IN-RUSH CURRENT
The AL Driver 200, 400 and 800 models use switched mode power supplies which exhibit a
trait known as ‘in-rush current’ when they are first powered on. This is caused by the various
capacitive components initially topping themselves up with power. The in-rush current
period lasts only milliseconds, however, if you are using multiple units on a single supply,
ensure that the breakers used are rated to support inrush currents without tripping during
startup.
AL Driver 200, 400 and 800 models operate from
supplies in the range: 100-277VAC 50/60Hz
Power consumption:
•
AL Driver 200
: 220W maximum
•
AL Driver 400
: 480W maximum
•
AL Driver 800
: 960W maximum
OUTPUT PORT CONNECTION CABLES
The connection cables (not supplied) used to link the output ports to the fixtures should
follow these guidelines (based on a maximum load of 6.6A):
Conductor size
•
18 AWG (0.823mm
2
)
Up to 40 feet (12m)
•
14 AWG (2.081mm
2
)
Up to 100 feet (30.4m)
In all cases, ensure the voltage drop at the fixture end is no greater than 9% of the original supply.
OUTPUT PORT FUSES
Each output port has a dedicated fuse to protect against short circuits and excessive
loading. Use a flat blade screwdriver to push in and then twist counter-clockwise to release
the fuse carrier.
