Page 3: Installation
Warning: NEVER hot plug the DC connector on the rear of the light source as this may cause arc- ing of the DC current. Do not disconnect or connect power from the Comet light source by removing or connecting the DC connector whilst the 48V PSU is live. - Page 4 INSTALLATION CONNECTION FOR MANUAL OPERATION There are two connections required – the fibre port and the power supply connections. The fibre port should be connected first before the mains supply. Connect and secure the fibre optic connector into the collar and the front of the unit and secure using the M5 knurled locking screw.
- Page 5 • For master/slave operation all slaves must be connected together and to the master Comet If there is no DMX data being received at a Comet light source the display will indicate “No DMX” as shown in the example below for address 001...
- Page 6 INSTALLATION CONNECTION FOR 0-10 V ( CURRENT SOURCE ) OPERATION This is a current source dimming and decorative wheel operation. For current source, the inputs to the COMET require an external control voltage between 0V and 10V DC. There are three/four connections required – the fibre port, the 0-10V cable(s) and the power supply cable.
- Page 7 • With no 0-10V input the luminaire will give no light output and the decorative wheel will be stationary, but may move slightly. If this movement causes a problem, connect a 0-10V controller set to 0V or set the Comet to manual control. UFO LIGHTING...
- Page 8 INSTALLATION CONNECTION FOR 1-10 V ( CURRENT SINK ) OPERATION This is a current sink 1-10V dimming operation. For current sink dimming, the left-hand dim- ming RJ45 socket of the Comet provides current flow to a remote electronic dimmer. The re- mote electronic dimmer modifies the current returning to the Comet, thus providing remote dimming control.
