PDS-60ca

 

Power/data supply for indoor and outdoor applications

•   

PDS-60ca is available in 7.5 V and 24 V 

versions to meet the power requirements 

of a variety of luminaires. Both 7.5 V and 24 

V versions communicate control data via 

Ethernet and DMX networks, allowing for 

compatibility with the full range of Philips 

Color Kinetics and third-party controllers. 

•  Features a NEMA 4 (IP66) enclosure, PDS-

60ca installs in dry, damp, and wet locations.

•  Accommodates input voltages ranging from 

100 VAC to 240 VAC. Short circuit protection 

prevents device failure due to incorrectly 

wired luminaires.

•  PDS-60ca is available in a pre-programmed 

version, which features built-in visual effects 

and allows for light show configuration 

without controllers.

•  Offers multiple standard-size conduit entries 

to accommodate 1/2 in and 3/4 in US trade-

sized conduit.

•  PDS-60ca Pre-Programmed functions as 

a master controller, delivering data to the 

other power/data supplies in the run. Use one 

PDS-60ca Pre-Programmed unit per run, and 

standard additional power/data supplies. A 

downstream power/data supply does not have 

to be a PDS-60ca, but can be any DMX- or 

Ethernet-based power/data supply.

•  Instead of attaching luminaires to a Pre-

Programmed PDS-60ca, you could use it as an 

outdoor-rated light show controller for DMX- 

or Ethernet-based power/data supplies and 

their luminaires.
