4.5. Connecting to Power Supply
DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
The device accepts AC mains power at 220–240 V and 50 Hz. Do not supply power at any other voltage or
frequency to the device.
This device falls under IEC protection class I. Make sure that the device is always electrically connected to the
ground (earth).
Before connecting the device to the socket-outlet:
• Make sure that the power supply matches the input voltage specified on the information label on the•
device.
• Make sure that the socket-outlet has ground (earth) connection.•
Connect the device to the socket-outlet with the power plug.
This device is IP65 rated.
• Do not expose the device to conditions that exceed the rated IP class conditions.•
• Keep the connectors sealed with the rubber caps when the connectors are not in use.•
• Do not connect the cables from above the connectors, if the device is installed outdoors. Make a ‘drip•
loop’ in the cable so that rain water cannot enter the device.
• Make sure that the cable run is not too heavy. A heavy cable run can cause damage to the connectors. If•
the connectors are damaged, their ingress protection (IP) can deteriorate.

4.6. Power Linking of Multiple Devices
This device supports power linking. Power can be relayed to another device via the power OUT connector.
Note that the input and the output connectors have different designs: one type cannot be connected to the
other.
Power linking of multiple devices must be carried out only by instructed or skilled persons.
WARNING
Incorrect power linking may lead to overload of the electrical circuit and result in serious
injuries and damage of property.
To prevent overload of the electrical circuit, when power linking multiple devices:
•Use cables with sufficient current-carrying capacity. The power cable supplied with the device is not •
suitable for power linking of multiple devices.
•Make sure that the total current draw of the device and all connected devices does not exceed the rated •
capacity of the power cables and the circuit breaker.
•Do not link more devices on one power link than the maximum recommended number. •
The maximum recommended number of devices depends on the total load of all connected fixtures and TED
Pack IP, 5-pin devices. The total load shall not exceed 3500W.

• Do not expose the device to conditions that exceed the rated IP class conditions.•
• Keep the connectors sealed with the rubber caps when the connectors are not in use.•
• Do not connect the cables from above the connectors, if the device is installed outdoors. Make a ‘drip•


Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
5.2. DMX Connection
5.2.1. DMX-512 Protocol
The TED Pack IP, 5-pin has 5-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
The pin assignment is as follows: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+), pin 4 (N/C), pin 5 (N/C).
Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can control
on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected devices and the
512 channels available in one DMX universe.
To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Inorder
to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated splitter/booster,
otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.
Note:
• Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m•
• Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices•
5.2.2. DMX Cables
Shielded twisted-pair cables with 5-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You can
purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable
operation of the DMX network.
When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as shown in
the figure below.

Figure 8
5.2.3. DMX Linking
To connect multiple devices on one DMX data link, follow the steps below:
01) Use a 5-pin DMX cable to connect the DMX OUT connector of the lighting controller to the DMX IN01)
connector of the 1st device. The DMX LED indicator (06) lights up.
02) Connect the DMX OUT connector of the 1st device to the DMX IN connector of the 2nd device with a 5-pin02)
DMX cable.
03) Repeat step 2 to connect all devices in a daisy-chain.03)
04) Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device on the data link.04)

5.3. Connecting Fixtures
The TED Pack IP, 5-pin is compatible with both LED and incandescent lighting fixtures. It can be also used for
controlling shooters, canons, drops, and similar fixtures.
Make sure that the total load per output does not exceed the maximum wattage (200 W) and the maximum
current (1 A).
Connect the fixtures to output 1 (11) and output 2 (08).
5.4. Setup Example
This is a typical setup with TED Pack IP, 5-pin used as trailing-edge dimmer.
Make sure that:
• The total load per output does not exceed the maximum wattage (200 W) and current (1 A).•
• The total load of all connected fixtures and devices does not exceed 3500 W.•

6.2. Trailing-edge Dimming vs. Leading-edge Dimming
The TED Pack IP, 5-pin is trailing-edge dimmer that supports also leading-edge dimming. You can set the
dimming mode (see 6.7.6. Dimming Mode on page 25) for each connected fixture separately.
6.2.1. Trailing-edge Dimming
Trailing-edge dimming is a reverse-phase dimming with a phase-cut at the end of each wave’s half cycle
before the zero crossing. This makes trailing-edge dimming suitable for conductive loads and for lower wattage
lamps, for example LED lamps. Trailing-edge dimming does not produce high inrush of current.
Trailing-edge dimmers use MOSFET or IGBT circuits to dim. This technology produces less EMI radiations, current
surges and AC distortions. This results in less interference and noise compared to traditional leading-edge
dimmers. Trailing-edge dimmers can support also leading-edge dimming.

6.2.2. Leading-edge Dimming
Leading-edge dimming is a forward-phase dimming with a phase-cut at the beginning of each wave’s half
cycle after the zero crossing.
The leading-edge dimmers were originally developed to dim incandescent and halogen lamps. As they have
a high minimum load, they are not suitable for low wattage LED lamps.
Traditional leading-edge dimmers use a TRIAC or an SCR to dim. This technology produces more EMI radiations,
which results in unwanted interference and buzzing noise. These dimmers do not support trailing-edge
dimming.
