Connecting Power and Data
Connecting Power
The luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 200-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Current required depends on the AC
supply voltage and product model. Refer to “Current vs. Voltage” on page 7 for all models covered in this manual.
Note: The mating Neutrik® powerCON® True1 connector is supplied; however, you will need to purchase or construct a
cable appropriate for your application. Available power input cables is found in “Replacement Items/Accessories” on page 8.
Figure 2: Power Connector
Depending on the application, the luminaire’s AC input cable may require a different connector. If required, install a new
connector meeting your requirements using the following wire color code reference:
WARNING: DO NOT connect to three-phase service in countries with 240 volt power. AVERTISSEMENT: NE PAS se
connecter au service en trois phases dans les pays avec puissance de 240 volts.
For single-phase power at 240 volts RMS:
For three-phase power at 200 volts RMS:
WARNING: It is not recommended to power any VARI❋LITE luminaire from a dimmer - even in 'NONDIM' mode. Dimmer
and non-dim modules are not suitable sources of power because their output modifies the AC wave form. This may work for
a short time, but will eventually result in power problems, luminaire mis-operation and/or failure and may void the
luminaire’s warranty. AVERTISSEMENT: Il n'est pas recommandé pour alimenter un luminaire VARI❋LITE d'un gradateur
- même en mode 'NONDIM’. Modules de gradation et non sombres ne sont pas des sources appropriées de pouvoir parce que
