Installation & Set Up

Overview
The AIP-200 is a compact 200 Watt RGBL IP65 rated & convection cooled zoom par. The unit can be mounted via a C-clamp (sold separately) or used on the ground using the fixture’s kickstand yoke

Accessory Holder
Installation of the Accessory Holder can be done with simple hand tools.
The Accessory Holder kit includes the following:

Part #: AIP200-FF

•  Accessory ring
• QTY 4: M4 x 8mm screws

NOTE: AIP-200 is rated to IP65 only when used with suitably rated cables and connectors. When used outside or in wet environments, ensure that power and data connections are rated and designed to mate with the supplied AIP-200 cabling.

NOTE: A safety cable (not supplied with unit, sold separately) should be used and may be required by local and/or national codes when hanging this luminaire.

Power Requirements

• Before performing any field wiring, refer to and read the warnings contained in “Important Information” on page 3.
• WARNING! AIP-200 should be connected to a constant circuit or a relay device. It should never be connected to a dimmer or circuit controlled by a dimmer.
• WARNING! The maximum allowable input current is 16 Amps. Do not overload circuits! Luminaires must be supplied by a branch circuit protected by a maximum 16 Amp circuit protector. Doit être alimenté par un circuit de dérivation protégé par un maximum de 16 ampères circuit protecteur. Ne surchargez pas les circuits!
• WARNING! When using the daisy-chain connection method, only connect your AIP-200 RGBL Par LED Luminaire to AC Output Connection of other AIP-200 RGBL Par LED Luminaires. DO NOT CONNECT OTHER TYPES OF LUMINAIRES OR DEVICES! The maximum allowable of number
  of AIP-200 RGBL Par LED Luminaires that can be daisy-chained on one power feed should not exceed the first fixture’s 16 Amp power rating.

Connecting Power

Units are powered via an AC input cable (sold separately) from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz and draw approximately 200 Watts of power. The table below outlines the wire colors and their purpose.

NOTE: The AIP-200 is an IP65 rated Par that offers IP65 rated connections at the luminaire, Accessories offered for this product Include male end wire plugging terminations of Edison (5-15P), Twist-Lock (GTL), and Pin (2P&G) plugs. These connector types are not IP-65 rated and will require protection from ingress when used in wet locations.

The AIP-200 Luminaire must be connected to and properly grounded to viable earth ground.
AIP-200 utilizes Seetronic PowerKon 16 amp IP65 rated connectors.

Daisy-Chaining Units

When daisy-chaining units, do not exceed the number of units as shown in the table below. Also, please make sure to read and understood the warnings contained in this section of the manual (“Power Connection Warnings”.)

Please ensure that all water tight caps for power and data are installed when not in use. If no output or through connections are being utilized please make sure that these caps are in place.

Connecting DMX

The AIP-200 Luminaire offers two DMX512 connections. One for DMX Input (from a DMX source) and one DMX throughput (out). Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple DMX controlled AIP-200 Luminaire together (up to 32 Total devices per DMX string) in a “daisy-chain” fashion. A cable runs from the DMX512 control source to the DMX INPUT connection on the first luminaire. From the DMX OUTPUT of the luminaire, another cable runs to the DMX IN connector on the next luminaire (or DMX512 device to be controlled).

At the end of each DMX Daisy chain, it is highly recommended that a DMX TERMINATOR (Altman Lighting part number DMX-5-TERM) is installed on the last luminaire (or device) in the chain.

For more information on installing DMX512 control systems, the following publication is available for purchase from the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT), “Recommended Practice for DMX512: A Guide for Users and Installers, 2nd edition” (ISBN: 9780955703522).

Additional care needs to be taken with the plastic components because they are much easier to scratch or damage than glass.
The following is a list of cleaning materials required to care for the AIP-200:

• Lint free lens tissue
• Lint or powder free gloves
• A mild soap solution.

WARNING! Under no circumstances should ammonia-based cleaners, acetone, or other harsh solvents
be used on or near the Back-Lit Panel. These types of cleaners or solvents can permanently damage the optics or housings of the fixture.

Cleaning the Front Lens

• Step 1. Turn off luminaire and allow to cool completely.
• Step 2. Apply a small amount of mild soap solution to lint-free lens tissue.
• Step 3. Wipe all debris, dirt, fingerprints, etc. From the lens.
• Step 4. Using a second lint-free lens tissue, wipe off any residue.
