Safety Information
Warning:
To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or electric shock, this product should be installed, inspected, and
maintained by a qualified electrician only, in accordance with all applicable electrical codes.
Warning:
To avoid electric shock:
• Be certain electrical power is OFF before and during installation and maintenance.
• Luminaire must be connected to a wiring system with an equipment-grounding conductor.
Warning:
To avoid premature failure and to maintain continuous operation:
• Make sure the supply voltage is the same as the rated luminaire voltage.
Do not install where the ambient temperature exceeds the marked operating temperatures.
PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Shut down power to the entire installation at the main power distribution board and lock out power
(by removing the fuse for example) before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.
• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing any cover or part and when not
in use.
• Connect the fixture electrically to ground (earth).
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both
overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect
condition, are rated for the current requirements of all connected devices, are protected to IP67
or higher and are of suitable type for the location (including water, pollution, temperature and UV
resistance).
• Please do not to handle the light fixture by the power or DMX or 0-10V cords to avoid any damage to
the electrical cords.
• Turn off power to fixture immediately if any cable, seal, cover or other component is damaged,
cracked or deformed. Do not reapply power until repairs have been completed.
• Do not expose any part of the fixture to a high-pressure water jet.
• Do not immerse the fixture in water or any other fluid, or install it in a location where flooding may
occur.

DMX Power Supply Box Installation & Electrical Connection
Power Supply:
Before making electrical connections, be sure the AC voltage in your area matches the required voltage for
the purchased Meteor LED fixture. Because the line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be
sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage before attempting to operate the fixture.
DMX-512:
DMX stands for Digital Multiplex Signal. It is a universal protocol used by most lighting and controller
manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller
sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels
from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR connector located on our power supply box.
DMX Linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and
operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper
DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible.
DMX512 is connected using a daisy-chain methodology where the source connects to the input of the first
device, the output of the first device connects to the input of the next device, and so on. Network can be
expanded across parallel buses using DMX splitters.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements:
channel 1
WSD-90
channel 1
WSD-130
The Whiz LED can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Whiz LED fixture with DMX is a one channel
DMX unit. (***When placing order, please indicate DMX address The DMX address will be preset inside
the power supply box.***) The LED fixture and your DMX controller require an approved DMX-512 Data
cable for data input and data output. Your cables should be made with a male and female 5-pin connector on
either end of the cable.
Line Termination. DMX Terminator (not provided) must be used on the last unit to maintain data integrity.

DMX Power Supply Box Installation & Electrical Connection
1. Make power connection
Install cable clamp connector (required, but not included) first. Pull out wires and connect power input wires with corre
sponding black/white/green wires using attached connector at the end of the wires. Push connected wires through cable
clamp connector. Clamp to secure. (Figure 22)
2. Mount DMX power box
For pendant mount, refer to page 5 Step 3; for bracket mount, refer to page 8 Step 1.
*Stem mounting not available for DMX power box
3. Connect DMX cables.
DMX512 is connected using a daisy-chain methodology where the source connects to the input of the first device, the output
of the first device connects to the input of the next device, and so on (Figure 24).
DMX512 is connected using a standard DMX512 cable with 5 pin in/out connector (figure 23) via a daisy-chain methodology.
The "DMX Controller" output connects to the input connector of the first "Power Supply Box - DMX IN", and the output of the
first "Power Supply Box – DMX OUT" connects to the input of the next "Power Supply Box – DMX IN", and so on. The last
"Power Supply Box – DMX OUT" has to be terminated with a DMX Terminator. (Figure 24)
