POWER AND DATA CABLING REQUIREMENTS

Power

The Bad Boy Spot Luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 200-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 15A maximum.
The upper enclosure provides a Neutrik® connector for power input. Use the provided AC Line Cord Cable Assembly
(25.9812.0902.5) to connect power.

Refer to

"AC Line Current / Power vs. Voltage"

on page 85 for details on power consumption at various voltages.

Data

DMX512 Cables

The Bad Boy Luminaire is equipped with two, 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX IN and DMX THRU (out) applications.
DMX IN requires a 5-pin, female XLR connector and DMX THRU requires a 5-pin, male XLR connector. When
purchasing or constructing data cables, it is important that not only the correct cable type be used, but also quality
cable to ensure a reliable DMX512 system. Your cabling should meet the following USITT DMX specification
requirements:

+

Suitable for use with EIA485 (RS485) operation at 250k baud.

+

Characteristic impedance 85-150 ohms, nominally 120 ohms.

+

Low capacitance.

+

Two twisted pairs.

+

Foil and braid shielded.

+

24 AWG minimum gauge for runs up to 1000 feet (300m).

+

22 AWG minimum gauge for runs up to 1640 feet (500m).

Note: Microphone type cables and other general purpose, two-core audio or signal cables are not suitable for use
with DMX512.
