5. Installation
Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 for important safety
information that you must understand before you install or operate the
fixture. Install impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixtures only as described in this
chapter, or you may create an installation that is unsafe.
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide a stable, secure supporting
structure that is suitable for the environment and application and that
meets all applicable codes and legal requirements. Note the requirement
to secure lighting fixtures with safety cables in temporary installations.
Mounting options
An impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixture may be installed in one of the following ways:
Standing horizontally on a horizontal surface.
Fastened to a rigging truss or similar structure at any angle using the supplied
brackets and two or more rigging clamps (optional accessories).
Securing the fixture with a safety cable
If a fixture can cause injury or damage if it falls you must secure it with at least one
secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold it if the primary means
of attachment fails. The safety cable must be approved for the weight that it
secures. In multiple installations, each fixture must have its own safety cable.
To secure an impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixture with a safety cable:
Obtain a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture and rigging
hardware that it will secure.
Loop the cable around a secure anchoring point such as a truss chord or fixed
structure so that it will catch the fixture if a rigging clamp fails. Take up as much
slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the
truss chord, for example).
See Figure 2 on page 12. Open one of the retractable safety cable attachment
eyelets marked Gin Figure 2 and fasten the safety cable to it.
If there is any danger that the fixture may swing dangerously from the safety
cable if a primary attachment fails, open the second retractable safety cable
eyelet also marked Gin Figure 2 and add a second safety cable as described
above, fastening it to this second eyelet.
Check that the fixture will now be caught safely by the safety cable if a primary
attachment fails..

purposes only, do not apply a load to them.
Standing the fixture on a horizontal surface
To place an impression X5 IP Bar 1000
fixture standing horizontally on a stable
horizontal surface:
Stand the fixture on the small feet in
the fixture’s base as shown in Figure 5.
Make sure that it is safe and secure,
and that it will not present a danger
of tripping or falling.
If there is any danger of injury or
damage if the fixture falls from the
surface, secure it with a safety cable
as described in ‘Securing the fixture
with a safety cable’ on page 14.
Installing on a rigging truss or similar structure
You can suspend an impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixture from a rigging truss or pipe
using the two brackets that are supplied with the fixture and rigging clamps that
are available from GLP as optional accessories.
If you are going to install the fixture hanging vertically downwards from a horizontal
rigging truss or pipe, you can fasten it to the truss using G-clamps. If you are going
to install the fixture in any other orientation or if the rigging truss is not horizontal,
you must use half-coupler-type clamps that completely surround the truss chord or
pipe.
Rigging clamps must be approved for the weight that they will support.

Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 for important safety
information that you must understand before you install or operate the
fixture.
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation
environment and application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the
fixture’ on page 10).
Cables used for power input and for relaying power to other fixtures must meet the
requirements listed under ‘Electrical safety’on page 5.
Power cable
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 is supplied with a power cord with a Neutrik
powerCON TRUE1 TOP connector for AC mains power input.
Connecting to power
The AC mains power supply must include a connection to ground / protective earth.
It must be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. The fixture’s
internal auto-sensing power supply accepts AC power at 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do
not connect the fixture to power at any other voltage or to an external dimmer.
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Power is
applied to the fixture as soon as the power cable becomes live.
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 has a 3-conductor Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 TOP
Mains IN power input socket that accepts AC power from a TRUE1 TOP female cable
connector. Although TRUE1 connectors support hot-plugging, it is still good
practice to shut down power to power cables before connecting them to fixtures.
To connect the fixture to power:
If possible, shut down power to the power input cable.
Note the position of the keys and keyways on the TRUE1 TOP power cable
connector and Mains IN socket and align them with each other carefully. Insert
the cable connector into the socket and twist clockwise to lock. Do not use force.
If the connector feels excessively stiff, remove it and check that it is lined up
correctly.
Before applying power to the power cable, check that nobody is looking directly
into the front of the fixture and check that there is no risk of collision if the head
tilts without warning.
To disconnect the fixture from power, pull the latch on the cable connector
outwards to release it, then twist the connector counterclockwise and pull to
remove it from the socket.
Installing power connectors
If you need to replace the cord cap / power plug on the supplied power cord /
power input cable, check that the cord cap / plug is rated minimum 250 V, 16 A, that
it has a connection to ground / earth and that it has an integral cable grip. Follow
the cord cap / plug manufacturer’s assembly instructions.

Connecting multiple fixtures to power in a chain
You can connect fixtures to power in a daisy-chain to simplify your power circuit
layout.
Warning! Do not connect more than two (2) impression X5 IP Bar 1000
fixtures in total to power in one chain at 100-120 V, 60 Hz. Do not connect
more than four (4) impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixtures in total to power in
one chain at 200-240 V, 50 Hz.
The power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 16 A maximum.
Add together the maximum current draw ratings of all the devices that
you intend to connect to power in a daisy chain and do not create a chain
with a total maximum current draw of more than 16 A, or you will create a
risk of fire and electric shock.
To connect fixtures to power in a chain:
Obtain power relay cables that have male and female Neutrik powerCON TRUE1
TOP connectors. Cables must be minimum 14 AWG or 1.5mm2, rated minimum
16 A and suitable for the environment and application.
Connect the power input cable to the Mains IN socket of the first fixture.
If you are operating the fixture on 100-120 V, 60 Hz AC mains power, you can
connect maximum one fixture to the mains THRU socket (giving a maximum of
2 fixtures total connected together in a chain) using a power relay cable. Do not
connect any devices to the Mains THRU socket of the second fixture.
If you are operating the fixture on 200-240 V, 50 Hz AC mains power, you can
connect maximum three fixtures to the mains THRU socket (giving a maximum
of 4 fixtures total connected together in a chain) using power relay cables. Do
not connect any devices to the Mains THRU socket of the fourth fixture.

7. Connecting to DMX data
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation environment
and application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the fixture’ on page
10).
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 supports USITT DMX 512A, Art-Net and sACN DMX
control data signal protocols. It also supports RDM (Remote Device Management).
The X5 IP Bar 1000 has two 5-pin XLR connectors for IN and THRU connections on a
DMX data link using standard DMX protocol. We recommend the use of digital 110
Ohm DMX cable with original Neutrik 5-pin TOP-type XLR connectors.
If you would like advice with planning and installing a DMX link, your GLP supplier
will be happy to provide assistance.

8. Starting and stopping operation
Warning! Before you apply power to the impression X5 IP Bar 1000 or
operate it after a blackout, make sure that nobody is looking directly into
the front of the fixture and that there is sufficient clearance for the head
to tilt safely.
The fixture’s TRUE1 TOP mains power input connector supports hot-plugging, and
connecting and disconnecting a live power cable is an option, especially if you need
to shut down power urgently, but it is still good practice to shut down power to the
AC mains power circuit before connecting and disconnecting power cables.
To start operation, check that nobody is looking into the front of the fixture and that
there is no risk of collision of the head tilts without warning, then apply power to the
AC mains power circuit.
To stop operation, shut down power to the AC mains power circuit.
Transportation and storage
We strongly recommend that you transport the fixture either in a flightcase or in its
original packaging to protect it from damage during transportation. The product
warranty does not cover damage caused by abnormal shocks during transportation
and handling.
When the fixture is not installed, disconnect it from power and store it in a dry
location.
