Data link
A data link is required for DMX controller operation, and for synchronized
stand-alone operation of multiple Exterior 200s.
Cable and junctions
The Exterior 200 provides a dual 1.8 meter (5.9 ft.) 24 AWG cable with
locking 3-pin male and female XLR connectors for data connection. The
male cable is the data input and the female cable is the data output. The
connectors are wired pin 1 to shield (gnd.), pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3
to (hot).
Use RS-485 data cable designed for outdoor use to extend the link. RS-485
cable has low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150
ohms. It is electrically shielded and has at least 1 twisted-pair of conductors.
The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm
2
(24 AWG) for runs up to 300 meters
(1000 ft.) and 0.35 mm
2
(22 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.).
Warning!
The fixture is not supplied with a weatherproof XLR connectors.
If these connectors are exposed to water, moisture can be
drawn up the inside of the cables due to the vacuum effect from
the heat generated during operation. When installing the
product outdoors, always ensure that the fixture is protected
from water ingression from inside its data cable by:
• Protecting the connectors on the data cable in a weatherproof housing
(or a weatherproof electrical junction box), or
• Using IP65 rated XLR cable and connectors (such as those produced
by Neutrik), or
• Replacing the supplied cable with one that connects
directly inside the fixture. This option requires a new
cable gland, see “Cable glands” on page 59. The
leads connect to the main circuit board as shown to
right.
