System Layout - Prodigy Balance

Prodigy Balance System Layout Guidelines

• Prodigy Balance Power Supply
  • The Balance Power Supply has 4 outputs.
  • Each Balance Power Supply output can connect a maximum of 6 Prodigy Balance line sets.
  • Each Balance Power Supply can power up to a maximum 12 Prodigy Balance line sets.
    • Additional power supplies are required for each additional group of 12 line sets.
  • The total combined length of each Balance Control wiring branch cannot exceed 40 feet [12m], including total patch cable length.
• Control Systems
  • Prodigy Balance is compatible with Foundation HD, Foundation Desk, and QuickTouch Preset rigging control systems.
  • If installed directly after a QuickTouch Preset controller, the Prodigy Balance Power Supply replaces the Rigging System Power Injector (RSPI) in the system.
    • If there is Power and Control Distro and/or an MCX Node between the Prodigy Balance Power Supply and the QuickTouch Preset controller, a separate RSPI is required to power the QuickTouch Preset controller.
• Hoist Control Wiring (C*)
  • The four outputs of the  Balance Power Supply are controlled from a single MCX Input. Dependent on system needs and/or layout the outputs can be split between two separate MCX Inputs via a jumper setting.
  • The Balance Power Supply MCX Thru that can be connected to additional Balance Power Supplies for additional line sets or can be run to Power & Control Distro for other ETC hoists.
    • The total number of devices that can be connected to a single hoist control run is dependent on the Rigging Controller.
