About the VL800 PROPAR Included Items The following illustration shows all items included with the luminaire: Note: Please check with Vari-Lite or Authorized VARI❋LITE Dealer for availability on accessories Seetronic power connector Clamp contained in the carton box VL800 PROPAR QuickStart Guide 2 July 2020 9

Connecting Power and Data Connecting Power The luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Current required depends on the AC supply voltage and product model. Refer to “Current vs. Voltage” on page 10 for all models covered in this manual. Note: The mating Seetronic power connector is supplied; however, you will need to purchase or construct a cable appropriate for your application. Figure 1: Power Connector Depending on the application, the luminaire’s AC input cable may require a different connector. If required, install a new connector meeting your requirements using the following wire color code reference: Wire* Connection Green/Yellow AC Ground Blue AC Neutral Brown AC Line * International (Harmonized)8tandard WARNING: DO NOT connect to three-phase service in countries with 240 volt power. AVERTISSEMENT: NE PAS se connecter au service en trois phases dans les pays avec puissance de 240 volts. For single-phase power at 240 volts RMS: Connection Pin AC Neutral X AC Line Y Ground (Earth) G For three-phase power at 200 volts RMS: Connection Pin Phase 1 X Phase 2 Y Ground (Earth) G 10 2 July 2020

WARNING: It is not recommended to power any VARI❋LITE luminaire from a dimmer - even in 'NONDIM' mode. Dimmer and non-dim modules are not suitable sources of power because their output modifies the AC wave form. This may work for a short time, but will eventually result in power problems, luminaire mis-operation and/or failure and may void the luminaire’s warranty. AVERTISSEMENT: Il n'est pas recommandé pour alimenter un luminaire VARI❋LITE d'un gradateur - même en mode 'NONDIM’. Modules de gradation et non sombres ne sont pas des sources appropriées de pouvoir parce que leur production modifie la forme d'onde AC. Cela peut fonctionner pendant une courte période, mais finira par entraîner des problèmes d'alimentation, luminaires mauvais fonctionnement et / ou l'échec et peut annuler la garantie de l'appareil. Current vs. Voltage Table 1-2, VL800 PROPAR Luminaire - Current vs. Voltage (260W LED) provides the luminaire’s current draw at specific voltages. Total Luminaire Current is calculated with the LED on and all motors sequencing. WARNING: It is the responsibility of the user to adequately protect supply source with a correct size and type circuit breaker and not overload circuits. AVERTISSEMENT: Il est de la responsibilité de l'utilisateur de protéger adéquatement la source d'alimentation avec une taille correcte et le disjoncteur de type et surchargez pas les circuits.

A maximum of 3 luminaries may be connected in 120V, 60Hz. A maximum of 5 luminaries may be connected in 230V, 50Hz Note: This maximum limit applies to the luminaire "daisy chain" only. Your system or console may require fewer luminaires on a single data link path. Consult your console documentation for more information. 2 July 2020 11

To connect power and data: Step 1. Connect data cable from console to first luminaire in chain at DATA IN connector. Step 2. If required, connect additional data cables from DATA THRU connectors to DATA IN Step 3. At last luminaire in link, install male termination connector at DATA THRU connector. (Luminaires and other devices on the same DMX chain may not function properly without termination) VL800 PROPAR Luminaire Channel Requirements* DMX512 Channels Description Menu Display 15 Channels 16 Bit Mode (Default) 15 **DMX terminator required for last fixture on DMX line. Figure 2: Data Link Step 4. Connect AC Input Cable connector to power input source. Step 5. Dress AC input and data cables and secure them so that they will not interfere with luminaire head and yoke movement. 12 2 July 2020

Installation Procedures Floor Mounting the Luminaire This luminaire included in this manual are designed to sit directly in a floor installation application. When used in this type of application, be sure to leave enough space around the luminaire to allow proper, uninterrupted airflow for cooling and movement. Hanging the Luminaire The VL800 PROPAR Luminaire can be hung horizontally or vertically from any structure designed to work with the type of load created Clamp and Quick lock fastener or other mounting hardware are required. Many compatible truss hooks are available from different manufacturers for your particular needs. One Quick-lock fastener per luminaire is required. If mounting method does not use truss hooks, two attachment points per luminaire, are required. Always ensure the diameter of safety cable is at least 4 mm, which can support at least 12 times of weight of unit. Install mounting hardware and brackets: Step 1. Bolt each clamp to the Omega holder with screw and lock nut through the hole in the holder as shown in Figure 3 Note: Various types of truss hooks can be used. The Clamp (as shown in the example above) as well as many other standard hooks, can be ordered separately. Step 2. Faster the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting quick-lock fasteners into the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise. Figure 3: Quick-lock Fastener Installation Step 3. Hang the fixture to the support through clamp and faster the screws, faster the safety cable through the bottom of the base and over the support. 2 July 2020 13

WARNING: Ensure that the bracket locking mechanism is fully seated after the bracket is installed on the luminaire. Figure 4: Installing Brackets on Luminaire Enclosure Installing in Truss: Step l. Lift luminaire into mounting position. Step 2. Secure in place with clamp handle. Ensure clamp handle hardware that Quick-lock fastener hook in place (eg. wing bolt) is properly tightened and that luminaire is fully supported.. Step 3. Attach safety cable (as required) as follows (refer to Figure 5): a. Loop safety cable at least once around safety cable anchor point rod. 14 2 July 2020

b. Loop safety cable at least once around truss/pipe and secure around pipe. Note, truss hooks shown are sold separately. Truss and pipe by others. Figure 5: Safety Cable Installation / Luminaire Hanging Step 4. Make sure hanger is disengaged so luminaire moves freely. Step 5. Connect power and data cables according to procedure given in “Connecting Data” on page 9. When hanging the luminaire in a side hang position, natural convection and the designed direction of the inlet and exhaust cooling fans dictate that the inlet should be closest to the floor and the exhaust should be towards the ceiling. This eliminates the possibility of one luminaire blowing exhaust air into the inlet of the luminaire next to it when the luminaires are side-by-side. If the luminaires are stacked on top of one another in a side hang, a 45° enclosure orientation with the fan inlet closest to the floor. 2 July 2020 15
