Electrical Configuration Guidelines
The number of luminaires that each PDS-60ca 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-60ca 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.
