CM-150 CA

Control module for large scale architectural and media
applications using Flex nodes

CM-150 CA delivers integrated data and power to Flex LED luminaires from Philips Color Kinetics. With
multiple mounting options, CM-150 CA is the single solution for all large scale installations using Flex nodes,
whether color or white. An integrated test button instantly confirms proper functioning of your devices,
eliminating costly and time-consuming reinstallation.

• Supports up to 150 W of power output—
CM-150 CA accommodates input and output
voltages of 7.5, 12, and 24 volts, so it’s compatible
with all current and discontinued Flex family
products from Philips Color Kinetics. CM-150 CA
supports up to two strands of Flex, with up to 75
nodes per strand.

• Modular and versatile—CM-150 CA is available
in a surface mount or DIN rail mount form
factor, allowing placement in indoor and outdoor
environments, or in your own custom housing.
CM-150 CA is compatible with third-party power
supplies, so you can purchase the power supplies
that work best for your installation.

• Available with 3-wire or 4-wire output—3-wire
output is a cost-effective option for shorter runs
of up to 7.6 m (25 ft) from the CM-150 CA to
your Flex strands. 4-wire output offers more
flexibility of placement and can be used in runs
of up to 30.5 m (100 ft) from the CM-150 CA
to your Flex strands. Longer leader cables are
available for custom configurations.

• Integrated test button— CM-150 CA features an
onboard button for testing LED nodes that are
attached to the control module, even before fully
installing your control system. Press this button
to instantly show a color wash on attached Flex
nodes, confirming that your devices are working
just as you expect them to. Press the button
again, and your Flex nodes will resume normal
operation. On-board indicator LEDs provide
visual feedback for normal operation, DMX and
Ethernet connection detection, and Ethernet
data transmission.

• Compatible with ActiveSite—CM-150 CA is
designed to work with ActiveSite from Philips
Color Kinetics. With ActiveSite, you can check
the devices on your lighting network right from
your web browser. And because ActiveSite
knows the status of your control module, you can
instantly pinpoint a problematic CM-150 CA or
attached LED nodes from anywhere in the world.
