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
