warning
: Ensure that power is disconnected before installing, wiring, or
servicing the sPDS-60ca 24V power supply.
warning
: The sPDS-60ca 24V power supply must be installed by a
qualified professional in accordance with NEC and relevant local codes.
warning
: Do not attempt to install or use sPDS-60ca 24V until you read
and understand the installation instructions and safety labels.
warning
: The sPDS-60ca 24V power supply must be installed without
ventilation openings facing down.
warning
: Do not use sPDS-60ca 24V if power cables are damaged.
warning
: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to take adequate measures.
caution
: Ensure that sPDS-60ca 24V is securely attached, properly
mounted, and free of excessive vibration.
caution
: sPDS-60ca 24V must be installed in a location that allows air to
move freely. Packing insulation around the housing or mounting in a sealed
location that raises ambient temperature above 122˚ F (50˚ C) will result in
property damage and will void the warranty.
caution
: Do not hot swap. Ensure the power supply is off before
connecting or disconnecting fixtures.
caution
: Do not modify or alter sPDS-60ca 24V.
note
:
The instructions and precautions set forth in this installation guide
are not necessarily all-inclusive or relevant to all applications as Philips
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 sPDS-60ca 24V in such a manner as
to comply with all state and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and the
American National Standards Institute Safety Code.
note
:
sPDS-60ca 24V is shipped with a US IEC power cable. For
international customers, use a country-specific IEC cable meeting the
following specifications: 3-conductor, 18 AWG (1.00mm2), HAR rating for
Europe, and JET rating for Japan. (Hard Service Type ST or equivalent.)
note
:
Ensure the IEC inlet plug fits in the supplied lock. The lock may not
accommodate all plug styles.
INSTALLING sPDS-60ca 24V
sPDS-60ca 24V must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance
with NEC and relevant local codes for power supplies. A power
screwdriver is recommended for mounting the unit.
Mounting the Housing
• Select the location to mount the housing, keeping sPDS-60ca 24V within
the maximum distance specified for your fixture. Refer to your fixture
user guide for the cable run information.
NOTE
:
Ensure that there is adequate space to make all connections to
the front and rear of the unit.
• Mount the housing to a flat surface using four M3.5 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.
WIRING sPDS-60ca 24V
After mounting the power/data supply, you are ready to connect power,
lights, and data to sPDS-60ca 24V.
Connecting Lights to sPDS-60ca 24V
• Install white clamp-on EMI Suppression Core on fixture leader cable.
Follow instructions in figure 2a for method of installation.
• Plug the leader cable connector into a power output receptacle on
the front of sPDS-60ca 24V. Power outputs are labeled Out 1 and Out
2. (See Fig. 2b.)
note
:
When using one light run per sPDS-60ca 24V, use
Output 1.
• Refer to Table 1 to determine maximum number of fixtures supported. Refer to
the Installation Instructions of the fixture for specific wiring requirements.

Connecting DMX Data to sPDS-60ca 24V
sPDS-60ca 24V receives DMX data from, and can be controlled by, Philips
full line of DMX512 controllers or any third party DMX512 controller.
• Plug the data RJ45 connector from the controller into the DMX IN port.
• To daisy-chain DMX data to another sPDS-60ca 24V, connect a CAT 5
cable with RJ45 connectors between the DMX OUT port of the first unit
and the DMX IN port of the next unit. Plug a terminator into the DMX
OUT port of the last power supply in a data chain. (See Fig. 3.)
Connecting Ethernet Data to sPDS-60ca 24V
sPDS-60ca 24V receives Ethernet data from Light System Manager (LSM)
or Video System Manager (VSM). LSM consists of Light System Composer
software and Light System Engine hardware, and VSM consists of Video
System Manager software and Video System Engine hardware. A dedicated
network and one or more Ethernet switches are required for your
installation. (See Fig. 4.) Refer to the LSM User Guide or VSM User Guide
for setup and configuration information.
• Connect the CAT-5e data cable, with RJ45 connectors on both ends, to
the Ethernet switch and to the ENET IN port on the sPDS-60ca 24V
power/data supply.
note
: End-run Ethernet data to each sPDS-60ca 24V in an installation.
Ethernet cannot be daisy chained. (See Fig. 4.)
Connecting Power to sPDS-60ca 24V
• Install black clamp-on EMI Suppression Core on IEC power cable. Follow
illustrations in Figure 5a for method of installation.
• Connect the IEC power cable to the back of sPDS-60ca 24V. Plug the IEC
power cable into a standard 100 – 240 VAC outlet. Tighten the screw to
secure the clamp. (See Fig. 5b.)
