3 – FUSES
A 10A retarded (T10) Ø5 x 20 mm fuse is present on front panel of NODO-MASTER, in order to protect the fixtures feeding line.
4 – POWER SUPPLY
Use constant tension power supplies advised by Artemide on its catalogue, under the environment and section power constraints
(V
= 48VDC, max 480W). NB: Artemide declines any responsibilities should power supplies be used not certified by Artemide.

5 – CABLES CHARACTERISTICS
Please refer to Fig. 4.
From power supply to NODO-MASTER (M5 terminal block): use wires compatible with the installation environment. Take this
connection as shortest as possible, use minimum 2 x 2.5 mm². Possibly use cables already built-in into the power supply, should they
be present.
From NODO-MASTER (M6 and M7 terminal blocks) to the 1
st
fixture of the section: if exist, use the code previewed on the catalogue
(e.g. Algoritmo Floor Recessed, 3 x 0.75 mm²).
Otherwise use a 3-poles cable, environmentally compatible with the installation. This cable connection must be taken as shortest as
possible, minimum advised wire section is 3 x 1.5 mm² (better 3 x 2.5 mm²). Respect the polarity "+", "-", "S" shown on the cable and
on terminal blocks.
From DALI bus to NODO-MASTER (M1 terminal block): calculate the maximum distance between the Dali control unit (e.g. Touch
Panel, Group Controller, Scene Controller, ...) and the most far actuating device, including NODO-MASTER: use wires sections greater
than 0.5 mm² for distance up to 100 m, greater than 0.75 mm² for distance up to 150 m, greater than 1,5 mm² for longer distances.
Maximum distance cannot exceed 300 m. DALI bus is not polarized.
From DMX bus to NODO-MASTER (M4 terminal block, only for NODO-MASTER DMX): use a twisted pair cable, e.g. a CAT5 cable.
Make connection as shown in one of the two schematics on Fig. 5. Respect the polarity "GND", "+", "-".
Connections for "Master-Slave" layout between M2 and M6 terminal blocks: use minimum 2 x 0.5 mm², connect "–" and "S" poles
on M6 or M7 of "Master" NODO-MASTER to same poles on M2 o M3 of "Slave" NODO-MASTER, respecting the polarity.
