DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT!
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel of the fixture.
This fixture should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied, consult your authorized distributor or local power company.
Always disconnect the fixture from AC power before cleaning, removing or installing any part.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the fixture and the power cord
from time to time.
Do not install the unit near naked flames.
During the operation the housing becomes hot (up to 80°C)
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
This fixture falls under protection class I. Therefore this fixture has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with
a protective earthing connection.
Do not connect this fixture to a dimmer pack.
LED light emission. Risk of eye injury.
Do not look straight at the fixture´s LEDs during operation. The intense light beam may damage your eyes.
Keep compustible materials at least 20 cm away from the fixture.
If the fixture has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on
immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has
reached room temperature.
Avoid brute force when installing or operating the fixture.

circuit, burns, electric shock etc.
Immunity of the equipment is designed for electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3 according to the standard
EN55103-2 ed.2 Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audiovisual and
entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. Part 2: Immunity.
The product (covers and cables) must not be exposed to a high frequency electromagnetic field higher than 3V/m.
The installation company should check levels of possible interferences above the tested levels E1,E2,E3 given by
this standard (e.g. transmitters in surrounding area) before installing the equipment.
Emission of the equipment complies with the standard EN55032 Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia
equipment – Emission Requirements according to class B.

3.1 Mounting the fixture
The ArcSource Outdoor 48 MC Integral can be arranged in any position orientation.
The LED module can be tilted to desired position by means of the tilt lock. Use an Allen key 8 to adjust desired
position (+35°/-90°).
Three slots in the fixture “U” holder serve for mounting on the non-flammable flat surface.
1. LED unit
2. Control unit
3. Antenna (only wireless DMX version)
4. Tilt adjusting locks
5. „U“ bracket
6. Control board with anti-vandal cover
7. Power/Data cable
8. LED unit connecting cable

Ensure that the structure to which you are attaching
the fixture is secure
Caution: Overhead installation requires experience. Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you
have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the device and consult installation with
an expert.
Warning for wireless DMX version!
The fixture is supplied with the cap screwed on the antenna connector. This cap provides declared IP rating of the
fixture but when the cap is removed, the enclosed antenna must be installed on the fixture to keep declared IP
rating of the fixture!
There is a possibility to install the LED unit and the control unit separately. Four holes with diameter of 5.3mm in
the control unit are intended for mounting on a flat, non-flammable surface. The length of the connection cable
between the control unit and the LED unit should not exceed 20 m.
3.2 Top hat (Half top hat ) installation
Top hat Half top hat
1. Unscrew the four socket heads 6x12 (1) in ArcSource Outdoor 48 MC housing and slide the top hat (2) onto
ArcSource outdoor 48 MC Integral.
2. Secure it with four socket heads 6x12 through holes (3) in the top head.

3.3 Connection to the mains
Fixtures must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national
and local electrical and construction codes and regulation.
This device falls under class one and must be grounded!
The ArcSource Outdoor 48 MC Integral is equiped with with a 5-cored power/data cable. The 3 cores serve for
the power supply and next 2 shielded cores are intended for DMX connection as shown the table.

Remove end caps from cable glands before passing cables into the junction box. The four cable glands M20 with
standard seals serve for cable of diameter of 6-12mm, for smaller diameter of cable (4-8mm) you have to remove
original sealing from the cable gland M20 and use the enclosed reducing seal instead it. Four reducing seals for
diameter of cable 4-8mm (P/N 13051388) are enclosed.

Fully tighten cable gland nuts and check that cables are properly fastened in the cable glands.
Note: To keep declared IP rating, every cable gland has to be covered with the end cap if this cable gland is not
used for cable passing.
The junction box allows to connect several fixtures in a daisy chain of the power/data cable. Use the 3 x 1.5mm2
power cable to connect the first junction box with the mains and the power/data cable for connecting fixtures
each other. Do not overload the supply line and the connecting leads.
The max. number of connected fixtures in a daisy chain depends on the input voltage:
14 fixtures at power supply= 230V (for power cable 3 x 1.5mm2)
7 fixtures at power supply= 120V (for power cable 3 x 1.5mm2)
You have to take into account the the length of power/data cable, circuit breaker etc. at projecting of the fixtures
installation.

4. Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the ArcSource Outdoor 48 MC Integral is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module
and antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band.
To link the fixture with the DMX transmitter
Select option “Wireless“ from the menu PErS (PErS-->DMX In.--> Wireless).
The fixture can be linked with the transmitter by running the link procedure at DMX transmitter .
After linking , the level of DMX signal (in %) is displayed in the menu item “Stat“ (Special-->Wireless-->Stat.)
To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter.
The fixture can be unlinked from DMX transmitter via the menu item “Unlink“ (Special-->Wireless-->Unlink.)
Note: The ArcSource Outdoor 48 MC integral sends received wireless DMX signal to its wired DMX output. The
fixture behaves as a " Wireless/Wired" adaptor.
E.g. You have 5 fixtures, one fixture is equipped with the wireless DMX module and 4 fixtures are standard fixtures
without wireless DMX module. The first fixture receives wireless DMX and sents this signal to the rest of fixures,
which are connected to the first fixture by means of the DMX cable in a DMX chain.
