Controllability

Multiple A80 lights can be controlled either manually or by a single external 0-10V controller.

CABLES
Available cables:

Control Cable (Please consult kessil.com for list of available cables and compatible controllers).
Unit Link Cable (male/male with 3.5 mm stereo jack).
Control Extension Cable (6′ male/female with 3.5 mm stereo jack).

STARTING A CHAIN
Connect two or more lights with the Unit Link Cable, as shown above.

CONTROL METHODS
There are two ways to control a chain of lights:

With an external controller.
Without external controller (Tuning Dials on the first light control all other lights in chain).

Each light has its own independent power supply. Any number of lights can be daisy chained together without degradation of signal. However, in longer chains a slight delay in response may occur. Manual tuning is disabled when input cable is plugged in.

Top Mounting Adapter
