PDS-60 Product Guide

Maximum data cable lengths are 100 m (328 ft) between Ethernet devices without a
repeater.
Electrical Configuration Guidelines
The number of luminaires that each PDS-60 unit can support depends on the power
requirements of the specific luminaires that you are using. Refer to the table on the left
for quantities of each luminaire that you can connect per PDS-60 device. Refer to the
luminaire product guides for information on electrical configuration for luminaires.
When installing in damp or wet locations, seal all points of possible moisture
ingress with electronics-grade RTV silicone sealant so that water or moisture
cannot enter or accumulate.
Inspect PDS-60 and Accessories
Carefully inspect the box containing the PDS-60 and the contents for any damage.

• 3-conductor copper wire for power connections, as required. Luminaire
