3. Installation
Always connect
the Ilumipod 42
IP Optic Series to
a protected circuit with an
appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect
the Ilumipod 42
IP Optic Series to
a rheostat (variable
resistor) or dimmer circuit,
even if the rheostat or
dimmer channel serves
only as a 0 to 100%
switch.
Please refer to all
applicable local
codes and
regulations for the proper
installation of this product.
AC Power
The Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the specifications in
this guide, the product’s QRG, or on the product’s sticker.
Power Consumption
To determine the power requirements for the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series, see the label
affixed to the side of the fixture or refer to the corresponding specifications chart in the
Technical Information chapter of this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
AC Plug
The Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series comes with an un-terminated power input cord for
hardwiring during installation. Use the table/illustration below to wire a plug.

Power Wiring
You can connect the bare-ended IP67 rated AC power cable from the fixture to an IP67
rated power connector.
You may also use IP67 rated junction boxes for surface installations or direct buried cable
(DBC)for buried installations.
If using junction boxes, make sure to use IP67 rated conduit for surface installations or
direct buried cable (DBC) for buried installations. You could also use direct buried cable
(DBC) to link the junction boxes. See below for a wiring illustration.

Installation
Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series User Manual Rev. 6 7
The Operation
chapter of this
manual provides
detailed
instructions on how to
configure the Master and
Slave units.
DMX Linking
You may link the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series,
it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.
It is also possible to run several DMX compatible fixtures synchronized without a DMX
controller in a master/slave operating mode. The Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series does support the
master/slave mode.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series to a DMX controller, you may download
the “DMX Primer” document from the ILUMINARC® Web site.
DMX Modes
The Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series uses the standard DMX data connection for all its DMX
personalities whether they are RGBW or VW versions. Refer to the Introduction chapter for
a brief description of these modes and the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the
Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series to work in these modes. The DMX Values section will give you
detailed information regarding the above-mentioned DMX modes.
Protocol Connectivity
The Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series uses USITT DMX 512 Protocol. The procedure below
illustrates the recommended connection method.
Master/Slave Linking
The Master/Slave mode allows a Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series fixture (the master) running a
preconfigured program to control several other Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series fixtures (the slaves)
without requiring a DMX controller. In this mode, all the slave fixtures will operate in unison
with the master fixture.
When in Master/Slave mode, the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series units link to each other using the
standard DMX connection.
ID Addressing
The Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series uses the ID Addressing feature to increase the number of
addressable fixtures in the same DMX universe when in the TOUR personality. Refer to the
Operation chapter in this manual to learn in detail how to configure the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic
Series fixtures when using ID Addressing.

Installation

away from any
flammable material as
indicated in the Safety
Notes.
Mounting
Before mounting this fixture, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the
Safety Notes section (page 2 of this manual).
Orientation
Always mount this fixture in any safe position while making sure that there is adequate
room around it for ventilation, configuration, and maintenance.

mounting bracket with 13mm screw holes. ILUMINARC®recommends following the
general guidelines below when mounting the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series.
•When selecting an installation location, consider ease of access to the fixture for
operation, programming adjustments, and routine maintenance.
•Do not allow the product to remain pointed straight down.
•Make sure that the location where you are mounting the fixture can support its weight.
Please see the Technical Specifications section of this manual for the weight requirement
of this fixture.
Procedure
The Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series comes with a single heavy duty mounting bracket to which
you can attach “C” or “O” clamps. You must supply your own “C” or “O” clamps and make

Operation
Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series User Manual Rev. 6 9
4. Operation
When
programming live
performances as
well as cues that need to
trigger on demand or on a
time line, program no
more than 10 fixtures on
ID addressing per DMX
channel. This is to remain
within a one-second
execution time.
If ID Addressing
is active in a
fixture’s control
panel, unintended results
may occur if DMX channel
11’s value is higher than
“0” when in TOUR. Make
sure to disable ID
addressing and to set
DMX channel 11 to “0” if
using TOUR.
