Power con connections.
CAUTION! Never connect or disconnect a Power-
con plug while voltage is applied. Always make
the Powercon connection before making the

Power supply
of multiple PARC-100 / RGB spotlights
If multiple PARC-100 / RGB spotlights are used,
the jack POWER OUT of the first spotlight can
be connected to the mains jack POWER IN of
the second spotlight. For this, a mains cable with
Powercon plugs (NAC-3FCB and NAC-3FCA) is
required. Proceed in the same way to connect the
second spotlight to the third spotlight etc. until
all spotlights have been connected in a chain.
Thus, up to 19 spotlights can be interconnected.
The jack POWER OUT can also be used for power
supply of other (light effect) units.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire caused by
overload, the current load of the cables and the
mains plug must not exceed 10 A.
