2.2 Cabling

The Color Force utilises PowerCon connectors for power input and through. The DMX control data input and through connections

from an external control console are via two XLR 5-pin connectors. The chassis are ground bonded.

Note: To avoid overloading the input cable, the maximum length of Color Force fixtures for a single power cable run is 3.6m (12')

at 110V or 7.2m (24') at 220V.

Important Notice:

The use of an opto-splitter for DMX signal distribution is highly recommended when several fixture units are not plugged into the

same power source.

2.3 Mounting

The Color Force 48 & 72 fixtures are equipped with built-in mounting brackets for floor, wall and truss mounting applications. The

mounting brackets feature a pair of quick release levers for easy tilt adjustment.

Note: Secure the fixture with a safety bond. Provision for a fixing hold is built into the brackets.

2.4 Orientation

The Color Force 48 & 72 fixtures are built with near/far lenses that optimize the beam spread when used on a wall or cyclorama.

The side with near-field lenses is indicated by the narrow edge border, which should be adjacent to the wall or cyclorama. The

side with far-field lenses is indicated by the wider edge border, which should be facing away from the wall or cyclorama.
