AC power 9

Installing a power input connector on a power cable

To install a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA input connector on a power

cable:

1. Slide the bushing over the cable.

2. Slide the white chuck over cables with a diameter (D

) of 5 - 10 mm

(0.2 - 0.4 in.), or the black chuck over cables with a diameter of 10 -

15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.).

3. Prepare the end of the cable by stripping 20 mm (0.8 in.) of the

cable’s outer jacket.

4. Strip 8 mm (1/3 in.) from the end of each of the wires.

5. Insert each of the wire ends into the appropriate terminal (see

instructions and Table 1 above) and fasten the clamping device

using a small flathead screw driver.

6. Push and insert the chuck into the housing (note that there is a

raised key on the chuck to ensure that it is oriented correctly).

7. Fasten the bushing using a wrench to a torque of 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb.-ft).

Relaying power to other devices

Warning! Do not connect more than seven MAC Aura fixtures in total to AC mains power in one

interconnected chain.

Power can be relayed to another device via the light-grey PowerCon

throughput socket that accepts a

light-grey PowerCon NAC3FCB cable connector. Note that blue input and light-grey throughput connectors

have different designs: one type cannot be connected to the other. Neutrik power connectors can be

ordered separately from Martin (see Accessories on page 34).

If you link fixtures in a chain so that they all draw AC mains power via the first fixture, certain points must be

respected:

• A hard usage, three-conductor, 16 AWG or 1.5 mm

cable with SJT or equivalent cable jacket must be

used to connect the first fixture to AC mains power and to interconnect all the fixtures in the chain up to a

maximum of seven fixtures in total.

• Light-grey Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCB connectors must be used to draw AC mains power from the

fixtures’ power throughput sockets and blue Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA connectors must be used to

supply power at the fixture’s power input sockets.

• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than seven MAC Aura fixtures in total

(i.e. including the first fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and

throughput connectors.
