Identification and Warnings of Safety Hazards
In accordance with ANSI Z535.4 the following system of identifying
the severity of the hazards associated with the products is used:
“
DANGER
” Imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
“
WARNING
” Potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
“
CAUTION
” Potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury or property damage.
DANGER
: Ensure that main power supply is off before installing, wir-
ing, or servicing the PDS-60ca power supply. Failure to adhere to
these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
: The PDS-60ca power supply must be installed by
a qualified professional in accordance with NEC and relevant
local codes. Failure to comply can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
WARNING
: Do not attempt to install or use the PDS-60ca until you read
and understand the installation instructions and safety labels. Failure
to adhere to these instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage.
WARNING
: Do not use the PDS-60ca if power cables are damaged.
Doing so can result in death, serious injury, and property damage.
WARNING
: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this
product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be
required to take adequate measures.
CAUTION
:
Ensure that the PDS-60ca is securely attached, properly
mounted, and free of excessive vibration. Failure to do so will result in
property damage and void the warranty.
CAUTION
:
When sealing the PDS-60ca, ensure that the gasket is
seated properly, that no wires are pinched, and that the housing is
free of foreign material and debris. Failure to do so will cause seal
failure resulting in property damage and voiding the warranty.
CAUTION
: Do not hot swap. Ensure the power supply is off before con-
necting or disconnecting fixtures. Hot swapping will result in property
damage and void the warranty.
CAUTION
: Do not modify or alter the PDS-60ca. Doing so will void the
warranty.
CAUTION
:
For outdoor installations, seal on points of entry and exit
with electronic grade RTV Silicone. Failure to do so will result in prop-
erty damage and void the warranty.
NOTE
:
The instructions and precautions set forth in this user guide are
not necessarily all inclusive, all conceivable, or relevant to all applica-
tions 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 the PDS-60ca in such a manner
as to comply with all state and local laws, ordinances, regulations,
and the American National Standard Institute Safety Code.
INSTALLING THE PDS-60ca
The PDS-60ca shall be installed by a qualified electrician in accor-
dance 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 the PDS-60ca
within the maximum distance specified for your fixture. Refer to your
fixture user guide for the cable run information.
•
Using the seal plugs and gaskets provided, seal all conduit holes
not needed for the installation. Tighten plugs until gaskets are
slightly compressed. Do not over tighten
.
• Mount the housing to a flat surface using four screws suitable for the
mounting surface. Mounting slots are located on the flanges at each
end of the housing. (See mounting details, Fig. 1.)
WIRING THE PDS-60ca
After mounting the power/data module, you are ready to connect
power, lights, and data to the PDS-60ca.
Connecting Power to the PDS-60ca
Indoor Installation
• Insert power cable into the power connection chamber of the PDS-
60ca.
• Using pig tails and wire nuts, connect Line (black), Neutral (white),
and Ground (green/yellow). Follow local electrical codes for
internal wire bending.
• Use a standard strain relief to hold the cable. See Fig. 2
Outdoor Installation
•
Pull power cable through outdoor rated conduit and into the
power connection chamber of the PDS-60ca. Use RTV Silicone
on the conduit coupler and ensure that conduit connection to the
PDS-60ca is water-tight.
• Using wire nuts, connect Line (black), Neutral (white), and Ground
(green/yellow). Follow local electrical codes for internal wire
bending. See Fig. 3.
NOTE
:
It is the end user’s responsibility to use the proper conduc-
tors to permanently connect the incoming facility power, and to
provide means for disconnecting the system.
Connecting Lights to the PDS-60ca
• Insert the fixture leader cable into the power out/data connection
chamber of the PDS-60ca.
NOTE
: Outdoor rated lights have water-tight couplers on the cables.
Ensure that the water-tight coupling is properly installed and sealed
with RTV Silicone to ensure NEMA 4 protection. Refer to the user
guide for your lights for instructions. These couplers also provide
strain relief. See. Fig. 4
• Plug connector into a power output receptacle. Power outputs are
labeled Out 1 and Out 2. See Fig. 4
• For indoor rated lights, use a standard screw connector strain relief
to hold the cable. See Fig. 4
• Refer to the user guide for your lights to determine maximum
number of lights per power/data supply and specific wiring
requirements.
