Mounting requirements
! The OPTIMA DS mounts in double-
gang deep masonry box or may be
ordered in a table top aluminum
enclosure. The Female XLR connector
comes mounted on the side of the
enclosure. The OPTIMA DS2 is only
available for mounting in a single-gang
masonry box.
! Both types of masonry boxes must have
a minimum depth of 2-1/2" and a
minimum inside height of 2-15/16" to
allow clearance for printed circuit board.
(See above illustration.)
! Use Grounded metal boxes only.
Wiring Notes
! All wiring between the OPTIMA and dimmer packs
is low voltage (NEMA Class 2) and must be a
shielded twisted pair cable. Refer to the OPTIMA
User's Manual for more details.
! Standard industry DMX-512 cables may be used
with the OPTIMA.
! Do not run DMX cable in the same conduit with
non-class 2 circuits.
! The OPTIMA is supplied with an external low
voltage wall adapter.
! Power for the adapter may be on a different power
phase from power supplying the DMX-512 dimmer
packs or fixtures.
! Installation must conform to local and/or NEC code
requirements.
