PDS-60ca is a power / data supply designed
lighting installations.

PDS-60ca

provides power and data to up to 30 low-voltage fixtures
from Philips Color Kinetics and delivers 60 watts of low-voltage output via two ports. It
features a NEMA 4 (IP66) enclosure, and can be installed in dry, damp, and wet locations.
It automatically accommodates input voltages ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.

Owner / User Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to install,
maintain, and operate

PDS-60ca

in such a manner as to comply with all applicable codes,
state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult with the appropriate electrical
inspector to ensure compliance.

Plan the Installation

To streamline installation and ensure accurate conguration, start with a layout or a
lighting design plan that shows the physical layout of the installation and identies the
locations of all lighting xtures,

DMX, Ethernet, and Pre-Programmed Congurations

PDS-60ca DMX / Ethernet
Programmed versions cannot receive controller data, but can send light show data to
DMX or Ethernet power / data supplies using the pre-programmed device’s OUT port.

DMX is appropriate for relatively simple installations, or for installations in which
groups of lights operate in unison (for example, for accent lighting, perimeter lighting,
or cove lighting applications). Typical DMX installations with fixtures from Philips
Color Kinetics use a controller such as iPlayer 3, a Controller Keypad for turning lights
on and off and triggering light shows, and one or more PDS-60ca devices. PDS-60ca
devices can be connected in series to deliver DMX data from a single controller to all
connected lights. Note that the maximum for DMX data run lengths is 1000 ft (305 m).

Because it is not subject to the DMX addressing limitations, Ethernet is the preferred
environment for large-scale, color-changing light shows and video displays, both of
which require large numbers of unique addresses.

DMX/Ethernet

Typical Ethernet installations with LED lighting fixtures from Philips Color Kinetics use an
Ethernet switch, an Ethernet controller (such as Light System Manager, ColorDial Pro or
Video System Manager Pro), one or more Ethernet Controller Keypads (for light show
triggering), and one or more PDS-60ca devices. For additional devices in a network, use
additional Ethernet switch ports.

In an Ethernet environment, each Philips Color Kinetics power / data supply has a
unique IP address. Each fixture connected to the device is automatically assigned
unique identifiers that controllers use to identify and manage each fixture.

Maximum data cable lengths are 328 ft (100 m) between Ethernet devices without a
re p e ater.
