WARNING
Shock Hazard. May result in serious injury or death.
Turn power OFF at circuit breaker or remove fuse. Damage to this
product caused by wiring with power on voids the warranty.
Due to risk of electric shock, a licensed electrician should install this
luminaire in strict compliance with the National Electrical Code and any
state or local code which may apply.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to
which the receiver is connected.

• Walls may impact communication depending upon construction method and materials.
• For complete design specification details, please refer to the Ketra System Specification Guide.
G2 Port Specifications
The G2 product has a 50 ft (15.24m) leader cable. Product should be within that range for functional control.
Control Connections
Distance limitations for each control topology should be taken into consideration.
• DMX – 1,800 ft (548m) maximum.
• 0-10 – 50 ft (15.24m) maximum total, depending on wire gauge.
• Contact Closure – 50 ft (15.24m) maximum total, depending on wire gauge.
• 24 Volt – 50 ft (15.24m) maximum total, depending on wire gauge.
