Please read instructions entirely before starting installation Be sure power is turned off before installing or modifying the system Call Tivoli, LLC tech support with questions Caution: Litesphere LED is designed to work with listed Class 2 24V DC transformers only. Use of any other power source will cause damage, shorten the life of the fixture and will void the warranty.
Consult any and all applicable local and national codes for installation Do not conceal or extend exposed conductors through a building wall as per local electrical code
Warning : With any luminaire for any application, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injuries. This lighting system should be installed by a certified professional.

Installation Instructions

Overview

LitesphereTM True – RGB+W is normally shipped to customer in specific lengths with power lead wires attached. The maximum run of 80 Globes may be ordered with 6″, 12″, or 24″ spacing. Globes may be individually controlled with DMX512 protocol for 16 million color

combinations.
Create runs with a maximum run length of 80 globes per circuit. Use one Data Box for every 80 globe run.

Option 1: Surface Mount

Rigid Mount to Surface
Mounting directly to surface is the best option to highlight architectural details.
Step 1: Remove suspension plate
Step 2: Attach each LitesphereTM True – RGB+W socket to a fixed surface with No. 6 size screws (by others). Do not overtighten screws.
Step 3: With power off, Connect lead end of strand to jumper (LSTJUMPER-B-XX). Connect Jumper to LST-DATABX inside the ADNMDAT power supply.
Step 4: Connect building power and data connection to ADNM-DAT power supply.
Step 5: Turn on power and verify fixture is operating properly.

Option 2: Suspension Cable Mount

WARNING: For suspension application, catenary cable is required to support the product, otherwise the warranty will be void.

Suspension Cable (Meets Article 225.3(B) Requitrements) (200 lb. max load) 1/8″ dia. stainless steel aircraft cable.

Hanger clip mount to Suspension Cable Illuminate courtyards, streets or parks with festive lighting using Catenary Cable (LS-CABLE 110, LS-CABLE 500, available separately). Each cable is a 1/8″ dia. stainless steel aircraft cable. Attach each end of cable to structural support using Cable Locks (LS- LOCK-2) included with 110 foot Cable Kits or available separately. 500 foot cable is not sold with locks and must be ordered individually. Follow instructions carefully.

NOTE: Article 225.3(B) of the National Electrical Code states that all festoon lighting spans over 40 feet MUST be supported by messenger wire. The messenger wire shall be supported by strain insulators. The LS-CABLE options offered by Tivoli meet these requirements. Consult applicable local codes for installation.
Step 1: Attach eye bolts or other attaching hardware (by others) to structural supports to hang Catenary Cable (LS-CABLE 110 or LS-CABLE 500). Catenary Cable is rated for hanging loads up to a maximum of 200 lbs. This cable is rated for 880 lbs. of pulling tension.
Step 2: Insert cable into upper hole in Cable Lock following the direction of the arrow on the side of the lock. Note: These Cable Locks are rated at 200 lbs. maximum hanging weight.
Step 3: Loop Cable through Eye Bolt or other mounting hardware (by others) and insert the cable back into the lower hole of the Cable Lock, as shown.

Step 4: A Catenary Tensioning Tool (LS-TT) is available to help tighten the cable. This tool is capable of applying 880 lbs. of tensio n.
WARNING: DO NOT TIGHTEN OVER 200 lb

Step 5: To loosen Cable, insert Key (Included) into small hole above Cable Entry hole and press to release cable.

Suspension Cable Mount
Step 1: Be sure suspension plate is firmly threaded in place.
Step 2: With suspension cable securely attached, use tie wraps to attach LitesphereTM units to cable.

Step 3 : Repeat procedure for all LitesphereTM sockets.

Step 4: Connect lead end of strand to Data Box and then to power supply with M16 threaded connectors.

End Cap for Field Cut Cable End
Step 5: Thread End Cap onto Female Connector at Trail End of Strand. Insert End Cap Nut over Wire first.
Step 6: When the wire has been cut, use the Crimp-on End Cap. Insert the End Cap Nut over the wire first.
Step 7: Next, slide the Crimping Body over the wire so that the wire protrudes about 3/4″ out of the front of the Crimping Body.
Step 8: Tighten the End Cap Nut over the end of the Crimping Body.
Step 9: Screw the End Cap onto the front of the Crimping Body.

End Cap at End of Run
The Litesphere includes a connector at the end of the run. When the Trail End Connector is not connected to another strand, thread the attached End Cap into the end of the connector.

Wiring Instructions

Step 1: With power off, connect lead end of strand to jumper (LSTJUMPER-B-XX). Connect Jumper to LST-DATABX inside the ADNMDAT power supply. Step 2: Connect building power and data connection to ADNMDAT power supply.
Step 3: Turn on power and verify fixture is operating properly.

Suggested Wiring Practices:

• cable specifically designed for DMX. These cables have an impedance of 120 ohms and have low capacitance. Example: Belden 9841-9842 or 3105.
• A daisy chain topology should be used. · The total cable length from the first light globe to the power supply, including the Data Box, must not exceed 80′.]
• Do not run data signals next to or in the same conduit as high power resources. If it is necessary to be near these resources, cross over them at 90 degrees or keep as much parallel distance between them as possible.
• Run in grounded metal conduit when there may be concern from nearby high power devices and/or situations where the cable structure may be compromised.

Wiring Diagram for Online Operation

MADRIX (Live)

This is a live control performance setup. Widely used for concerts or performance based manipulation. Use of a live network is necessary for communication between MADRIX software and fixture.

Wiring Diagram for Offline Operation

TivoCUE or Artnet Interface (Preset) Programmed via CUE software and recorded to a Micro SD card for data transfer into TivoCUE or Artnet Interface control. This is a stand-alone feature with no need for network support by software (CUE) once recorded and transferred to control hardware. Please refer to the TivoCue10 or ARTNET-S-8-512 specification for additional information.

NOTE: Please refer to the Installation Instruction for the Power

Supply you choose for detailed wiring instructions.

Wiring Multiple Runs

WARNING! Risk of Product Failure The data out cable length from the ADNM- DAT power supply to the fi rst globe, must not exceed 80′ The total data out length from the ADNM-DAT power supply to the last glob, must not exceed 260′

Wiring Statement

Wiring Statement

Warnings: Risk of injury or fire.
Do not cover any luminaire as the covering may cause it to overheat.
Do not install this lighting system where the exposed bare contacts can be shorted or contact any conductive material to reduce the risk of fire and burns. Do not install any luminaire closer than 6 inches (15.25cm) from any curtain, or similar combustible material.
Do not use any luminaire if damaged; such as, broken globe, loose connections, or frayed wire insulation. Inspect periodically.
Do not submerge any luminaire in liquid. Use waterproof connectors for all outdoor applications.
Do not secure any luminaire with staples, nails or like means that might damage the wire insulation. Secure it by using screws through the base.
Do not run any luminaire at an operating temperature exceeding -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F)

Replacing the LED Board

Step 1: Unscrew Globe

Step 2: Remove LED Board by pulling straight down.

Step 3: Install new LED Board. Insert Pins into receptacles inside the socket opening. Be sure the pins are all aligned correctly with the holes.
