Connecting Power and Data

Connecting Power

The luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 200-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Current required depends on the AC supply voltage

and product model. Refer to “Current vs. Voltage” on page 7 for all models covered in this manual.

Note: The mating Neutrik® powerCON® True1 connector is supplied; however, you will need to purchase or construct a cable appropriate

for your application. Available power input cables is found in “Replacement Items/Accessories” on page 8.

Figure 2: Power Connector

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:

WARNING: DO NOT connect to three-phase service in countries with 240 volt power. AVERTISSEMENT: NE PAS se connecter au

service en trois phases dans les pays avec puissance de 240 volts.

For single-phase power at 240 volts RMS:

For three-phase power at 200 volts RMS:

WARNING: It is not recommended to power any VARI❋LITE luminaire from a dimmer - even in 'NONDIM' mode. Dimmer and non-dim

modules are not suitable sources of power because their output modifies the AC wave form. This may work for a short time, but will

eventually result in power problems, luminaire mis-operation and/or failure and may void the luminaire’s warranty. AVERTISSEMENT: Il

n'est pas recommandé pour alimenter un luminaire VARI❋LITE d'un gradateur - même en mode 'NONDIM’. Modules de gradation et non

sombres ne sont pas des sources appropriées de pouvoir parce que leur production modifie la forme d'onde AC. Cela peut fonctionner

pendant une courte période, mais finira par entraîner des problèmes d'alimentation, luminaires mauvais fonctionnement et / ou l'échec et peut

annuler la garantie de l'appareil.

Other LCD Display Features

LCD Menu Battery Operation

The LCD menu system utilizes a battery powered system for operation when the luminaire is not connected to power. The primary purpose of

this mode is to allow basic setup and configuration of the luminaire.

To enable the battery operation of the menu system:

Step 1. Press and hold [ESC] and [OK] for two seconds.

Step 2. Once enabled, the menu will function as normal with only the following sub-menu sections active:

• Address

• Configure

• Setup

• DMX

• Fixture

Note: Any commands that require full power (calibrate, lamp strike, etc.) will be ignored while the menu system is in battery operation

mode.

Step 3. To exit battery mode, press and hold [ESC] and [OK] for two seconds. Note, luminaire will automatically exit this mode after

one minute of inactivity.

Status Bar

The Status Bar (as illustrated in Figure 15) is present at all times and displays luminaire

operational information of the luminaire. The Status Bar contains the following

information:

• LAMP – indicates current lamp state - ON or OFF.

• SHDN – indicates shutdown time in hours. NO indicates no shutdown time.

ERRORS – Displays a number indicating the total amount of current errors; can

cycle through short text descriptions of each error. Example: “Pan” or “Gobo1”.

When errors are present, messages will appear in red text. When no errors are

present, NO will display.

• ADDR – Displays the current DMX address for the fixture. NOTE, when the

fixture does not detect a DMX input signal, the DMX address text will display in

red text.

LCD Menu Proximity Sensor

The LCD menu system uses a proximity sensor to automatically enable the menu display (turn on the backlight) as you reach for the front

panel. If the display is off, it will turn on when your hand is within a few inches of the display. Note, when the luminaire is not connected to

power and the LCD menu is operating on battery, this proximity sensor is disabled.
