PDS-60ca Product Guide

Status Indicators
The PDS-60ca has several status indicators, depending on the network data mode
(Ethernet or DMX) of the device. The indicators are located inside the luminaire’s
housing.
Power Indicators
The PDS-60ca has two power indicators, one for each luminaire port. If a port fails
for any reason (for instance, if a fuse blows), the red indicator light will be off.
Ethernet/DMX Mode and Status Indicators
The PDS-60ca power/data supply listens for data on both of the input ports. When
a valid connection is detected, PDS-60ca switches to the appropriate mode. Three
indicator lights show the mode (Ethernet or DMX) and if applicable, the status of the
Ethernet connection.
Securing the Cover and Sealing PDS-60ca
After all the power and data connections, addressing, and pre-programmed effects
changes have been made, and you have made sure that all through holes are water-
tight, you may seal the device.
1. Replace the cover, ensuring that the gasket is seated properly and that no wires
are pinched.
2. Attach the cover with the six included screws. Tighten screws to 8 to 10 in-lbs
(1 in-lb = 11.2985 N-cm). If you are installing in a wet or damp location, seal
with RTV silicone.
Installing in Damp or Wet Locations
When installing in damp or wet locations, seal all junction boxes, power supplies, and
other devices with electronics-grade RTV silicone sealant so that water or moisture
cannot enter or accumulate in any wiring compartments, cables, luminaires, or other
electrical parts. You must use suitable outdoor-rated junction boxes when installing
in damp or wet locations. Additionally, you must use gaskets, clamps, and other parts
required for installation to comply with all applicable local and national codes.
