any packing materials.
Preparation
Before Installation, Coloronix suggests:
• Consulting the provided submittal drawings to recognize layouts of luminaries,
power supplies, and wiring layouts.
• Drawing out a layout plan consisting of locations of luminaries and wiring.
• Record DMX addresses on a mapping grid for easy reference and addressing
(where applicable).
• An electrical inspector reviews all wiring plans.
Points to Consider About Data
• Max power links is 9 per power feed
• AC Power and DATA cables may NOT run in the same conduit or within one
foot due to possible induced errors.
• 32 DMX DATA links max per run

• Mount and secure each fixture into the designated position in accordance to the
installation plan. Ensure there is sufficient cable length between the fixture and junction
box to allow for final alignment of the fixture.
• Secure the fixtures to a solid mounting surface using three threaded fasteners minimum
of 3/8 inch (10mm) stainless steel complete with flat and locking washer.
• Rotate the fixtures using tilt method into the desired position.

Electrical Connection (Hardwire)
WARNING: Do not expose bare wires outside wire nut connectors.
1. Per local or “National Electric Code”, provide electrical service to junction box
located on the housing.
a. The insulation of supply wire must be rated for at least 9 °C.
b. Junction boxes should be rated for:
i. Max. 8 No. 12 AWG Circuit Conductors
ii. Also suitable for at least 9 °C
2. Remove cover of junction box.
3. Remove proper round pryout, and then connect junction box with (not included)
proper connector.
4. Using properly sized wire nuts, connect lead wires of junction box (line, neutral,
and ground) to supply lead wires in the fixture.
a. WARNING: Do not leave bare conductors outside wire nut connectors.
5. Connect green (from electrical service) to the supply side to the green wire in
the junction box. Connect black-to-brown, and white-to-blue.
a. Any excess wiring and connectors should be put in the junction box.
Then, replace the cover.
NOTE: Supply lead wires should not be connected to a dimmer of any sort.
Maximum power connection should not exceed 4 units.
Data Connection
Note: Inline DMX amplifier required if run length exceeds: 125 feet between fixtures (others)
Note: Maximum run length from DMX controller to last fixture: 1 feet.
Note: DMX must be continuous from controller to last fixture in a run. A splitter is needed if
signal is split.
Please follow below if provided data cables will not be used
Note: ixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with
the EIA-485 standard, no more than 32 fixtures should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 5 m (164 ft)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32
DMX Data Cable
If installer prefers 3-wire data cables, we suggest a Belden© 9481 or equivalent cable which meets the
specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data
reliably over long distances. The cable must have the following characteristics:
Type: shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair
Maximum capacitance between conductors:
3 pF/ft
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield:
55 pF/ft
Maximum resistance: 2 ohms/1 ft
Normal impendance: 1
~ 14 ohms

Note: To comply with all local codes and jurisdiction, qualified communications technicians must do
communications wiring.
Note: Communication cables and AC power lines must not be run in the same conduit.
A. Route Data Cables in series between fixture and any communications accessories using DATA
IN and DATA OUT.
B. In order that they may be easily accessed once construction is complete, secure data cables in
the immediate proximity of the fixtures.
Note: To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect to a
DMX signal terminator.

Coloronix recommends periodic cleaning of the heat sink and lens. Over time these
components can become dirty or full of debris. This can result in lack of cooling or can
limit the capabilities of the fixture.
Lens Maintenance
Clean the front Lexan® as required using any of the following cleaners:
• Window Cleaner
• Mild soap and water solution
In addition, dry the Lexan® with a quality paper towel to avoid scratches or streaks.
Mount/ asteners Maintenance
Check all fasteners annually for tightness and security to avoid damage to the fixture
and possibly liability.
Troubleshooting
If problems occur during usage, unplug the product immediately and call or email:
