Introduction
RGBW Color Changing Adjustable Flood Lights are active, top-of-the-line color changing
fixtures. They draw on solid-state elements in order to produce highlights and washes
in architectural spaces.
More specifically, “RGBW” is an acronym for “Red, Green, Blue, and White”. RGBW
LED color mixing luminaires have the potential to produce 4.3 billion colors, and 16.7
million white light tones.
When installed and operated according to this manual, these downlights will operate
safely and dependably for their rated lifespan.
These luminaries require a USITT DMX 512 control signal on four consecutive
channels total. The unit includes a DATA OUT output for connection to additional units
or other DMX512 devices.
The flood lights are UL 1598 wet location rated for use in indoor or outdoor
environments.
Scope
The purpose of this manual is to properly install and use color-changing flood lights at
peak performance
This manual must be complimented by additional references, consultation from
qualified professional(s), and observance of state and local codes and regulations. This
rule applies to any interior structure, exterior structure, or environment.
Therefore, it is important to:

Mounting and Alignment of Fixture
Mounting and Alignment of Fixture
Mounting and Alignment of FixtureMounting and Alignment of Fixture
•
Mount and secure each fixture into the designated position in accordance to the
installation plan. Ensure there is sufficient cable length between the fixture and junction
box to allow for final alignment of the fixture.
•
Secure the fixtures to a solid mounting surface using three threaded fasteners
minimum of 3/8 inch (10mm) stainless steel complete with flat and locking washer.
•
Rotate the fixtures using the pan and tilt method into the desired position.
Electrical Connection (Hardwire)
WARNING: Do not expose bare wires outside wire nut connectors.
1. Per local or “National Electric Code”, provide electrical service to junction box
located on the housing.
a. The insulation of supply wire must be rated for at least 90°C.
b. Junction boxes should be rated for:
i. Max. 8 No. 12 AWG Circuit Conductors
ii. Also suitable for at least 90°C
2. Remove cover of junction box.
3. Remove proper round pryout, and then connect junction box with (not included)
proper connector.
4. Using properly sized wire nuts, connect lead wires of junction box (line, neutral,
and ground) to supply lead wires in the fixture.
a. WARNING: Do not leave bare conductors outside wire nut connectors.
5. Connect green (from electrical service) to the supply side to the green wire in
the junction box. Connect black-to-brown, and white-to-blue.
a. Any excess wiring and connectors should be put in the junction box.
Then, replace the cover.
NOTE: Supply lead wires should not be connected to a dimmer of any sort.
Maximum power connection should not exceed 9 units at 120V.
Page 9 of 13 - Coloronix SS2 Direct Power Lighting Manual V.2.0.1
Data Connection
Note: Inline DMX amplifier required if run length exceeds: 125 feet between fixtures (others)
Note: Maximum run length from DMX controller to last fixture: 1000 feet.
Note: DMX must be continuous from controller to last fixture in a run. A splitter is needed if
signal is split.
Please follow below if provided data cables will not be used
Note: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with
the EIA-485 standard, no more than 32 fixtures should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 m (1640 ft)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32
DMX Data Cable
If installer prefers 3-wire data cables, we suggest a Belden© 9481 or equivalent cable which meets the
specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data
reliably over long distances. The cable must have the following characteristics:
Maximum capacitance between conductors:
30 pF/ft
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield:
55 pF/ft
Maximum resistance: 20 ohms/1000ft
Normal impendance: 100
Type: shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair
~
140 ohms
Note: To comply with all local codes and jurisdiction, qualified communications technicians must do
communications wiring.
Note: Communication cables and AC power lines must not be run in the same conduit.
A. Route Data Cables in series between fixture and any communications accessories using DATA
IN and DATA OUT.
B. In order that they may be easily accessed once construction is complete, secure data cables in
the immediate proximity of the fixtures.
Note: To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect to a
DMX signal terminator.

Maintenance
Maintenance
MaintenanceMaintenance
Coloronix recommends periodic cleaning of the heat sink and lens. Over time these
components can become dirty or full of debris. This can result in lack of cooling or can
limit the capabilities of the fixture.
Lens Maintenance
Clean the front Lexan® as required using any of the following cleaners:
• Window Cleaner
• Mild soap and water solution
In addition, dry the Lexan® with a quality paper towel to avoid scratches or streaks.
Mount/Fasteners Maintenance
Check all fasteners annually for tightness and security to avoid damage to the fixture
and possibly liability.
Troubleshooting
If problems occur during usage, unplug the product immediately and call or email:

Replacing a Failed Fixture
“Hot Swapping” a fixture is not allowed. If a fixture needs to be replaced, the steps are
to:
1. Disconnect the DMX input at the junction box of the fixture needing
replacement.
2. Disconnect DMX output.
3. Replace fixture.
4. Reconnect AC negative.
5. Reconnect AC positive.
6. Reconnect DATA output.
7. Reconnect DATA input.
8. Reconnect power.
Make sure the replaced fixture and the entire system is in working order.
