5.2 Installing the ArcPower 384 Rack Mount into the rack
The ArcPower 384 Rack Mount is designed for the mounting into 19- inch equipment rack.
The hight of the xture matches 2U size. Installing the ArcPower 384 Rack Mount involves following steps:
1. Mount the rails into the equipment rack.
2. Install the rails onto the ArcPower 384 Rack Mount unit.
3. Slide the the ArcPower 384 Rack Mount into the rack and secure it in this positione by tightening the 2 screws
on each side of the ArcPower 384 front panel.
Note: If the equipment rack is badly ventilated , we recommend to mount the 2 spacers (1U size) on both sides
of the ArcPower 384 as shown on the picture to ensure free space under and over the unit.
6. DMX 512 operation
The ArcPower 384 Rack Mount is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin/5-pin XLR- connectors in order to connect
the xture with the DMX controller or one xture with another.

8
To build a DMX chain.
1. Unplug xtures from the mains before installation.
2. Connect the LED modules to the xtures.You cannot combine RGB and RGBW modules
(e.g. ArcSource 6 RGB and ArcSource 7 RGBW) on the same LEDs output.
3. Connect the DMX controller to the rst xture
4. Connect xtures each other. Max. 32 xtures may be connected on a DMX link. Terminate the DMX link
by installing a termination plug in the output of the last xture. The termination plug is a male 3-pin/5-pin
XLR plug with a 120 Ohm resistor soldered between Signal (–) and Signal (+).
5. Connect xtures to the mains
6. Set desired DMX address on each xture (see the chapter "Control board").
Note: You cannot combine RGB andRGBW modules on one LED output as the current circle of the white LEDs
will not be closed ( white LEDs will not lit). All modules have to be either RGB or RGBW on one LED output..
7. Ethernet operation
The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet network with an Art-Net communication protocol. The
control software from PC (or lighting console) has to support the Art-Net protocol.
The Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP. Its purpose is to
allow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.
An IP address is Internet protocol address. The IP uniquely identies any node (xture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.
The ArcPower 384 Rack Mount is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input. Use a network cable
category 5 (with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the xture to the network.
Patch cables that connect xtures to the hubs or LAN sockets are wired 1:1, that is, pins with the
same numbers are connected together:

9
1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8
If only the xture and the computer are to be interconnected, no hubs or other active components are needed.
A cross-cable has to be used:
1-3 2-6 3-1 4-8 5-7 6-2 7-5 8-4
All xtures have to be connected to Ethernet via standard patch cables and a data switch.
The option “ Ethernet” has to be selected from the “Set Ethernet Mode” menu on each xture.
Set correct IP address and the Universe for each xture.
