INSTALLATION AND SET UP
1. Power Requirements
WARNING! The PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire should be connected to a constant circuit or a relay device. It
should never be connected to a dimmer or circuit controlled by a dimmer.
The PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire operates on 100 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging). The luminaire
contains an auto-ranging power supply. Depending on supply voltage, each luminaire can draw up to 140 Watts. The
maximum through current should not exceed 20 Amps*.
WARNING! *Maximum Allowable Input Current of 20 Amps (maximum power supply limit of 140 Watts). Do not
overload circuits! Must be supplied by a branch circuit protected by a maximum 20 Amp circuit protector. Doit
être alimenté par un circuit de dérivation protégé par un maximum de 20 ampères circuit protecteur. Do not
overload circuits!
IMPORTANT AC POWER CONNECTION NOTES:
a. Must be supplied by a branch circuit protected by a maximum 20 Amp
circuit protector. Doit être alimenté par un circuit de dérivation protégé
par un maximum de 20 ampères circuit protecteur.
b. When using the daisy-chain connection method, ONLY connect PLCYC1
MKII LED Luminaires to AC Output Connection of PLCYC1 MKII LED
Luminaires. DO NOT CONNECT OTHER TYPES OF LUMINAIRES
OR DEVICES!
c. Use only approved cable types.
d. Do not overload circuits!
e. Do not connect PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaires to dimmed circuits.
f. The MAXIMUM allowable number of PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaires
which can be 'daisy-chained' on one power feed should not exceed
ratings. DO NOT EXCEED!

Note: Refer to Figure 1 for AC Input and Output connections.
Figure 1: AC Input and Output Connections
If the unit is supplied with an AC input cable, Table 1 describes how to connect power to your PLCYC1 MKII LED
Luminaire. Field wiring of the PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire is straight forward. A total of 3 wires/conductors need
to be brought to the unit. The following wiring scheme is required:

3. Connecting to the DMX512 Network
Note: Refer to Figure 2 for DMX512 Input and Output/Thru connections.
Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaires together (up to 30
luminaires) in "daisy-chain" fashion. A cable runs from the control console (or DMX512 control source) to the DMX
connector on the first PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire. Another cable runs from the other DMX connector on the first
unit to a DMX connector on the next PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire (or DMX512 device to be controlled)
Note: For more information on DMX512 networking and systems, refer to "Additional Resources for DMX512" on
page 2. For PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire DMX Mapping, refer to the product user’s manual.

4. Mounting
PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaires offer a plastic monocoque yoke design for mounting by theatrical clamps or hooks
(sold separately).
WARNING! Before attempting any installation or service, disconnect all power at power source. Turning off the
output of the luminaire does not disconnect power. Installation and service should only be performed by a trained and
qualified professional. Be sure to check circuit capacity before installing luminaires.
Figure 3: PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire Hanging / Spacing
SAFETY CABLE: FOR LUMINAIRE, a safety cable (included with unit) is recommended
for all hanging installation and may be required by national and local codes. Attach safety
cable to luminaire and to structure.
Luminaire Spacing
For optimum performance and use, PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaires should be mounted and spaced as shown in
Figure 3.
How to read Figure 3:
• S = Spacing between fixtures
• D = Distance from fixture to projection surface.
• A ratio of S = D x 0.9 is the formula used to calculate the optimum spacing for these fixtures.

Presets 11
PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire QuickStart Guide
4. Presets
Presets are Color Mixes that are stored in the Fixture, they can be recalled to reproduce a specific output from the
fixture. Presets are made up of a Color Mix; Red, Green, Blue, and White. They also have Intensity associated with
them.
Presets can be recalled via the User interface or by a DMX channel, when under DMX control. The Preset’s Intensity
is applied if the User Interface is used; if DMX, the DMX Intensity channel is used for Intensity.
If the fixture is locked, Presets cannot be changed at the menu.
• Locked Presets are factory Calibrated, and their Color Mix cannot be changed by the user. Their Intensity can be
changed. Three Presets (2-4), "Warm White', "Cool White", and "Day Light", are Locked.
• Preset 0, the "off" preset is also Locked to the OFF value.
• If the fixture is unlocked, User Presets can have their Color Mix and Intensity changed without restriction.
Note: If the Color Mix of a Factory Calibrated Preset is changed, by turning protection Off, an '*' is appended to the
end of the Preset's Name to indicate that the Calibrated values have been changed.
Note: DMX will take priority over any menu selected preset.
Editing Preset Names
On the Edit Preset screen, the option is available to edit the name of a preset, via Screen button. However, the names
of Presets 0, 2, 3, and 4 cannot be edited. Scratch Pad, preset 1, can be changed but retains its original functionality.
Use the [LEFT ARROW] and [RIGHT ARROW] keys to select the character to be changed and use the [UP
ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW] keys to change that character. The Character Scroll order is A-Z, space, 0-9. If you
are scrolling up the Alpha character displays as Upper Case; if you are scrolling down the Alpha character displays as
Lower Case. Stop on the character you want, ignoring case, then press the opposite [UP ARROW] or [DOWN
ARROW] key if you want to change the case. [OK] to save changes, [ESC] to cancel changes.
5. Settings
Table 2, “Settings Menu User-Settable Parameters,” on page 12 shows the user-settable parameters available in the
