NOTE
:
The instructions and precautions set forth in this user guide
are not necessarily all-inclusive, all conceivable, or relevant to all
applications as Color Kinetics cannot anticipate all conceivable or
unique situations.
Owner/User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and
user to install, maintain, and operate iW PDS-60 in such a manner as
to comply with all state and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and
the American National Standard Institute Safety Code.
NOTE
:
iW PDS-60 is shipped with a US IEC power cable. For interna-
tional customers, use a country-specific IEC cable meeting the follow-
ing specifications: 3-conductor, 18AWG (1.00mm2), HAR rating for
Europe, and JET rating for Japan.
INSTALLING iW PDS-60
iW PDS-60 shall be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance
with NEC and relevant local codes for power supplies.
Installation Considerations
• iW PDS-60 uses Color Kinetics iW Scene Controller to control Color
Kinetics IntelliWhite dimmable, color temperature adjustable fixtures
by zones. A zone is a grouping of lights attached to an iW power/
data supply which has been set to a specified zone designation.
The zone designation of the iW power/data supply defines the
zone in which the lights reside. Using iW Scene Controller, you can
set the brightness level and color temperature, from cool to warm,
for all lights within specified zones.
Zones are created by designating each iW PDS-60 as a specific
alphanumeric zone, 1-9 or A-F. All fixtures attached to that iW
PDS-60 reside within the designated zone. For example, in an
installation with two iW PDS-60s where the first power/data supply
is set to Zone 1 and the second is set to Zone 2, the lights attached
to the first are in Zone 1 and the lights attached to the second iW
PDS-60 are in Zone 2.
For installations where all lights are controlled in unison, set each
power/data supply in the installation to the same zone designator.
For installations where groups of lights are controlled separately, set
unique zone designators for each power/data supply.
• Location of iW PDS-60 in relationship to lights: Refer to the user
guide for your IntelliWhite fixture to determine the maximum
distance from the fixture to install iW PDS-60.
NOTE
: Adhere to all state and local wiring codes when making the
leader connections.
• Maximum number of fixtures per iW PDS-60: Refer to the user guide
for your IntelliWhite fixtures to determine the maximum number of
fixtures per iW PDS-60.
STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
1. Install iW PDS-60.
2. Connect iW Scene Controller.
3. Connect the lights to iW PDS-60.
4. Connect power to iW PDS-60.
5. Set the zone(s) for iW PDS-60s.
Step 1: Install iW PDS-60
• Select the location to mount the housing, keeping iW PDS-60 within
the maximum distance specified for your fixture. Refer to your fixture
user guide for the cable run information.
• Mount the housing to a flat surface using four M3 or #6 flat head
screws suitable for the mounting surface. Mounting slots are located
on each end of the housing. See Fig. 1.
NOTE
:
Do not overtighten the mounting screws.
Step 2: Connect iW Scene Controller
To control Color Kinetics IntelliWhite fixtures with iW PDS-60,
iW Scene Controller is required. Depending on the installation
parameters and configuration, iW Scene Controller can control one
or multiple iW PDS-60s. Refer to the iW Scene Controller Installation
Guide for complete instructions.
• Install iW Scene Controller in a single gang wall box within
50 feet (15m) of the iW PDS-60.
• Pull the provided iW Scene Controller leader cable to the
iW PDS-60.
• Plug the 4-pin connector at the end of the iW Scene Controller
Leader Cable into the connector located on the back of the
controller. Plug the other end into the Controller connector located
on the front panel of the iW PDS-60. See Fig. 2.
NOTE
: iW Scene Controller provides data to, and receives power
from, iW PDS-60; therefore, no external power supply is needed for
iW Scene Controller.
