Power Requirements
Before performing any field wiring, refer to and read the warnings contained in “Important Infor-
mation” on page 4.
WARNING! AIP-200 should be connected to a constant circuit or a relay device. It should never
be connected to a dimmer or circuit controlled by a dimmer.
WARNING! The maximum allowable input current is 16 Amps. Do not overload circuits! Lumi-
naires must be supplied by a branch circuit protected by a maximum 16 Amp circuit protector.
Doit être alimenté par un circuit de dérivation protégé par un maximum de 16 ampères circuit
protecteur. Ne surchargez pas les circuits!
WARNING! When using the daisy-chain connection method, only connect your AIP-200 RGBL
Par LED Luminaire to AC Output Connection of other AIP-200 RGBL Par LED Luminaires. DO
NOT CONNECT OTHER TYPES OF LUMINAIRES OR DEVICES! The maximum allowable of num-
ber of AIP-200 RGBL Par LED Luminaires that can be daisy-chained on one power feed should
not exceed the first fixture’s 16 Amp power rating.
Connecting Power
Units are powered via an AC input cable (sold separately, refer to “Accessories” on page 6 for optional
AC input cables) from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz and draw approximately 200 Watts of power. The table be-
low outlines the wire colors and their purpose.
WIRE COLOR PURPOSE
Brown or Black Main / (L)ine
Blue or White (N)eutral
Gren/Yellow or Green Ground / Earth
The AIP-200 Luminaire must be connected to and properly grounded to an
viable earth ground.

Daisy-Chaining Units
When daisy-chaining units, do not exceed the number of units as shown in the table below. Also, please
make sure to read and understood the warnings contained in this section of the manual (“Power
Connection Warnings”.)
AC Power Input AC Power Output VOLTAGE Max Qty. / Circuit

230VAC 15
Connecting DMX
The AIP-200 Luminaire offers two DMX512 connections. One for DMX Input (from a DMX
source) and one DMX throughput (out). Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple DMX
controlled AIP-200 Luminaire together (up to 32 Total devices per DMX string) in “daisy-chain” fashion. A
cable runs from the DMX512 control source to the DMX INPUT connection on the first luminaire. From the
DMX OUTPUT of the luminaire another cable runs to the DMX IN connector on the next luminaire (or DMX512
device to be controlled).
At the end of each DMX Daisy chain, it is highly recommended that a DMX TERMINATOR (Altman
Lighting part number DMX-5-TERM) is installed on the last luminaire (or device) in the chain.
For more information on installing DMX512 control systems, the following publication is available for pur-
chase from the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT), “Recommended Practice for DMX512:
A Guide for Users and Installers, 2nd edition” (ISBN: 9780955703522).

Mounting
The AIP-200 is simple to install and position where work lighting is needed. When mounting the AIP-200
Light, you must follow all national and local codes for safe installation and use. Unit weight, without acces-
sories is 13.80 pounds / 6.26 kilograms.
Adjusting Tilt
The AIP-200 can have its tilt adjusted via the lock off handles on the side of the luminaire. Simple loosen (but
DO NOT REMOVE) the handle so the unit is able to swing up and down. Set tilt as desired and re-tighten the
two lock off handle so the unit does not move from the set position.

Page 11
Hydra Series AIP-200 LED Luminaires Installation & Users Manual

To Install the C-clamp:
1. With luminaire on a flat, steady surface, position yoke assembly for easy access as illustrated above.
2. Place on 1/2-13 hex bolt, in this order, the 1/2-inch lock washer and then the 1/2-inch flat washer.
3. Insert bolt into hole on yoke assembly.
4. Position c-clamp over bolt and thread bolt into c-clamp.
5. Tighten bolt.
Installing Safety Cable
The safety cable should be installed in accordance to local and national codes.
NOTE: The safety cable should be used and
may be required by local and/or national codes
when hanging this luminaire. The mounting
structure must be capable of supporting the
weight of the fixture, lens, cabling, any acces-
sories, etc.
Safety Cable Anchor Point
NOTE: The AIP-200-RGBL-B, AIP-200-RGBL-

Dimming Curves
Linear - When set to Linear, the dimming curve is in
direct relationship to the DMX value. For example, if
the DMX value of the DMX slider is at 25% of its range,
then the signal to the luminaire (and its output) will
also be at 25%. (Default)
3 dimming curves are available. The options are:
Linear
Step 1 - Navigate to CurvesCurves in the menu.
Step 2 - Press Enter.
Incandescent: When set to Incandescent, the dimming
curve, (also called a logarithmic curve by some
manufacturers), sets the luminaire to mimic a dimming
effect that is perceived as linear (naturally
following an incandescent lamp fade).
Incandescent
Standard: When set to Standard, the dimming curve
(also called Square by some manufacturers) results
in a dimming effect that follows a slow or soft bottom-
end response and follows a linear line at the top
end.
