INTRODUCTION

WELCOME

Welcome to the AL Dot range from Acclaim Lighting. These compact, aluminum bodied,

wet location (IP66) ﬁxtures are self-contained DMX/RDM nodes which emit singular dots of

dimmable light. When used in multiples, they can create a large scale, low resolution graphic

display.

AL Dots are available in two white light options (3000K or 4000K) as well as RGB and

Spectrum RGBW (W=3000K) color mixing variants. There are three lens options to suit your

installation type: Clear ﬂat, diﬀused ﬂat or diﬀused dome. Each AL Dot features a large screw

threaded body (diameter 1.73”/44mm) with two aluminum locking rings to allow for panel

mounting, where necessary.

Each AL Dot comes complete with an integral T-cable which combines power (24VDC) and

control (DMX/RDM) to make it simple to daisy chain multiple units. All connectors are IP67

rated and feature secure locking to promote reliable operation in all conditions.

Each AL Dot is fully conﬁgurable using RDM (Remote Device Management) and can be

assigned to any DMX address (a single address is required for each white light model,

while the RGB and Spectrum RGBW versions require 3 and 4 DMX addresses respectively).

A maximum of 50 AL Dots may be joined in a single daisy chain (due to power bus

restrictions), however, this limit can be extended by using the optional power feed T-cable

(see page 8).

SAFETY

•Ensure that the power input is supplied from a correctly fused, grounded and

environmentally protected location.

INSTALLATION

AL Dots are primarily designed to be mounted within surfaces that are no greater than 0.71”

(18mm) in thickness . A hole of diameter 1.81 to 1.89” (46 to 48mm) is required.

TO MOUNT AN AL DOT

1 Unscrew and remove the ﬁrst (rear) locking ring from the AL Dot body.

2 Carefully slide the locking ring along the AL Dot’s cable and T-piece so that it is

completely detached.

3 Feed the AL Dot’s cable and T-piece through the pre-prepared mounting hole and insert

the body of the AL Dot into the hole.

4 Use the front locking ring to determine how deep into the mounting surface the AL Dot

should sit.

5 Feed the removed locking ring back onto the cable/T-piece and screw it back onto the

body of the AL Dot to tighten it within the mounting surface.

6 Connect the AL Dot to your power and control source (see page 6).

POWER AND CONTROL WIRING

AL Dot ﬁxtures use Chogori™ Standard (22) series IP67 5-pin

connectors for their combined power/control inputs and

outputs. AL Dot ﬁxtures can be either daisy chained directly

to each other or via intermediary link cables, depending on

distances between ﬁxtures.

AL Dot ﬁxtures require both a regulated 24VDC power input as

well as DMX control. The ﬁnal ﬁxture in the line should have a

120Ω terminating resistor connected between the DMX + and

DMX – lines.

Due to the limited current carrying capacity of the internal

power buses, runs of AL Dot ﬁxtures must not exceed 100 feet

(30m). See page 8 if longer runs are needed.

The required feed cables (available as separate purchase)

also include (male plus matching female) pluggable

terminal sockets (5.08mm pitch) at the external end for rapid

connections. The cable designations are as follows:

protected within

IMPORTANT: These connectors are not rated for live connection or disconnection.

Check that power is isolated before making or breaking any links. Ensure the

connectors have locked and are seated correctly before applying power.

Note: Acclaim requires Belden 9842

or approved equivalent for all DMX

wiring applications.

MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS / NUMBER OF FIXTURES

The maximum number of ﬁxtures that can be connected in a single series run is 50 when

they are directly connected to each other (which will result in their total cable length being

100 feet (30m):

50 ﬁxtures / 100 feet (30m) of total cable length

Where greater distances are required between AL Dots, you can use extra link cables.

However, the total number of AL Dot ﬁxtures must be reduced accordingly so that the total

cable run does not exceed 100 feet (30m).

For instance, if 1’ (30cm) link cables were used between each of the AL Dot ﬁxtures, the total

number of ﬁxtures would need to be reduced to 33:

See page 8 if longer runs are needed.

IMPORTANT: In damp or wet location installations, ensure that the output connector

of the nal xture has an end cap tted [AGDEC] to prevent moisture ingress.

33 ﬁxtures / 100 feet (30m) of total cable length

EXTENDING AL DOT RUNS

Due to the limited current carrying capacity of the internal power buses, runs of AL Dot

ﬁxtures must not exceed 100 feet / 50 units when they are directly connected to each other

(less when link cables are also used - see page 7). Where more AL Dots / longer runs

are required, you can either arrange separate parallel runs of ﬁxtures, or use the optional

T-cable [AGDT1] from Acclaim Lighting. The T-cable can be applied between separate 100

feet (or less) runs; its job is to continue the DMX control connections while terminating and

replacing the power input with a new source.

Note: The preferred method is to use separate parallel runs as the reliable limits of DMX operation

may be exceeded if too many ﬁxtures are connected to a single, unbuﬀered control line.
