COMET USER GUIDE

CONNECTION - FOR 0-10V(CURRENT SOURCE)OPERATION

This is a current source dimming and decorative wheel operation. For current source, the inputs

to the COMET require an external control voltage between 0V and 10V DC.

There are three/four connections required – the fibre port, the 0-10V cable(s) and the power

supply cable. The fibre port should be connected first before the mains supply. Connect and

secure the fibre optic connector into the collar and the front of the unit and secure using the

M5 knurled locking screw. Ensure the fibre optic connector is fully inserted before tightening

the locking screw.

Never run the luminaire with the fibre optic connector out of the collar.

Wire up and connect RJ45 plugs to the RJ45 connectors on the rear of the luminaire using pin

outs as detailed below. The le hand RJ45 connector controls dimming, the right-hand connec-

tor controls the decorative wheel motor. Ensure the 0-10V control system is powered up and

supplying a control voltage.

Plug the power supply’s output into the Comet’s power supply input and then connect the

mains plug into a local mains supply. The Comet will initialise and display its current status.

Consult the Troubleshooting and Operation sections in this manual if the Comet does not

power up or operate as expected.

0-10V NOTES

• This is a current source 0-10V control system. The input from the 0-10V controller (source)

supplies a varying control voltage between 0 and 10v to the luminaire to control the dimming

or decorative wheel motors, or both the dimming and the decorative motors

• Always use an approved CAT5 cable

• With no 0-10V input the luminaire will give no light output and the decorative wheel will be

stationary, but may move slightly. If this movement causes a problem, connect a 0-10V

controller set to 0V or set the Comet to manual control.

INSTALLATION

COMET USER GUIDE

CONNECTION - FOR 1-10V(CURRENT SINK)OPERATION

This is a current sink 1-10V dimming operation. For current sink dimming, the le-hand dim-

ming RJ45 socket of the Comet provides current flow to a remote electronic dimmer. The re-

mote electronic dimmer modifies the current returning to the Comet, thus providing remote

dimming control.

There are three connections required – the fibre port, the 1-10V cable and the mains supply

cable. The fibre port should be connected first before the mains supply. Connect and secure the

fibre optic connector into the collar and the front of the unit and secure using the M5 knurled

locking screw. Ensure the fibre optic connector is fully inserted before tightening the locking

screw.

Never run the luminaire with the fibre optic connector out of the collar.

Wire up and connect a RJ45 plug to the le hand RJ45 connector on the rear of the luminaire

using pin outs as detailed below. Note that only the le hand RJ45 connector can be used for

current sink dimming.

1-10V NOTES

• This is a current sink 1-10V control system. A 10V output from the Pulsar is connected via an

external 1-10V current sink dimmer varying the circuit current to control the dimming only

• Dimming is controlled between maximum light output and approximately 10% at minimum

light output. This minimum value may vary depending on the dimmer used

• Always use an approved CAT5 cable

• Always ensure correct connection polarity

• The Comet 1-10V dimming system has been designed around the UFO CVD3 Current Sink

Electronic Dimmer (See Accessories in Technical Specification section at end of this

document)

• The CVD3 is designed to be fitted to the back of a one gang faceplate
