INSTALLATION

0-10V NOTES:

• This is a current source 0-10V control system. The input from the 0-10V controller (source) 

supplies a varying control voltage between 0 and 10v to the luminaire to control the dimming
or decorative wheel motors, or both the dimming and the decorative motors

• Always use an approved CAT5 cable
• With no 0-10V input the luminaire will give no light output and the decorative wheel will be 

stationary

STANDARD WHITE LIGHT DIMMING

There are three connections required – the fiber port, the DMX cables and the mains supply
cable. The fiber port should be connected first before the mains supply. Connect and secure the
fiber optic connector into the collar and the front of the unit and secure using the M5 knurled
locking screw. Ensure the fiber optic connector is fully inserted before tightening the locking
screw. 

Never run the luminaire with the fiber optic connector out of the collar.

Wire up using the DMX cable from the DMX control system. Solder the cables to the 3 pin XLR
male and female plug and socket using pin outs as detailed below and plug in to the 
connectors on the rear of the luminaire. The image below shows the pin orientation of the 
connectors actually fitted to the illuminator. 

Plug the IEC connector into the IEC socket and then plug the mains connector into a local mains
supply. Switch on power the mains indicator will illuminate and the illuminator is ready for use. 

If no light is produced consult the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this manual.
