Power Requirements 5
PL3 LED Luminaires Installation & User’s Manual
INSTALLATION AND SET UP
1. Power Requirements
The PL3 LED Luminaire operates on 120 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 4.60 amps.
2. Connecting Power
If the unit is supplied with an AC input cable (PL3BE), Table 1 describes how to connect power to your PL3 LED
Luminaire. Field wiring of the PL3 LED Luminaire is straight forward. A total of 3 wires/conductors need to be
brought to the unit. For detailed power specifications, see "PL3 LED Luminaire Specifications" on page 33. The
following wiring scheme is required:
Table 1: PL3 LED Luminaire AC Input Connections
3. Connecting to the DMX512 Network
Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple PL3 LED Luminaires together in "daisy-chain" fashion.
A cable runs from the control console (or DMX512 control source) to the DMX connector on the first PL3 LED
Luminaire. Another cable runs from the other DMX connector on the first unit to a DMX connector on the next PL3
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 1. For PL3 LED Luminaire DMX Mapping, refer to "DMX CONTROL" on page 16.

Pan & Tilt DMX Operation Notes
• PL3MKIT is an accessory and is sold separately. PL3MKIT must be installed in order to use this feature.
• Under DMX Control, the PAN and TILT are interlocked, you cannot move both at the same time. In order to move
PAN, TILT and BEAM the level for each axis of movement must be set to 50% (DMX 127) to start. To initiate
movement, from the starting point of 50% (DMX 127) the user must set values above or below this level. Increas-
ing the value above 50% starts movement in one direction and entering a value below 50% moves the luminaire or
the focus in the opposite direction. The greater the change in value the faster the luminaire will move (see table).
To stop movement return the control to the 50%.
• The very ends of the DMX ranges 0-15 and 239-255, represent the end of travel stop ranges; if that range is entered
you must return to 50% (DMX 127) before it will move again. This was done so that if a DMX control device uses
sliders, 0 is stopped and moving back towards 50% (DMX 127) will not cause the fixture to move.
• All Strand Lighting Palette and Light Palette consoles feature fixture libraries to simplify control of these lumi-
naires. The luminaire attribute map is published in this manual and has been provided to all console manufacturers
to allow them to create fixture libraries. Contact your console manufacturer for a library if you do not have one in
your control system.
