BEST BOY 4000 ® SPOT LUMINAIRE USER MANUAL 21
Connecting Power and Data
The Best Boy 4000 Spot Luminaire may be controlled by DMX512 or Ethernet. The control inputs are located at the
upper enclosure connector panel.
Figure 2-11: Data Connections
Observe the following guidelines when setting up the system:
+ A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX512 or Ethernet data link. However, note that the
maximum limit applies to the luminaire "daisy-chain" only. Your system or console may require fewer luminaires
on a single data link path. Consult your console documentation for more information.
+ The Ethernet ports are not assigned as either In or Thru as the DMX512 ports are assigned. Ethernet can be
connected in any configuration.
+ Standard "star" topology should be used with Ethernet configurations. DO NOT create a "ring" with Ethernet.
+ The ports may not be used as converters (i.e., you cannot input Art-Net and get DMX512 out on an XLR, or vice
versa).
+ A relay allows Ethernet signals to pass through daisy-chained luminaires even if power is removed.
Power is provided by the AC Line Cord Cable Assembly (25.9812.0902.5) connected to the Neutrik® power input
connector. There is no power on/off switch. Turn off the circuit breaker at the power distribution rack
before
connection or disconnecting the Neutrik PowerCon.
Note: Refer to "Comm LED Operation" on page 24 for more details about the Comm LED.
