OWNER/USER RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner,
and user to install, maintain, and operate the iW PDS-150 in such a
manner as to comply with all state and local laws, ordinances, regula-
tions, and the American national Standard Institute Safety Code.
INSTALLING THE iW PDS-150
The iW PDS-150 shall be installed by a qualified electrician in
accordance with NEC and relevant local codes for power supplies
with Class 2 outputs. A power screwdriver is recommended for
mounting the unit.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
• Zones. iW PDS-150 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 the
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 internally designating each iW PDS-150 as
a specific alphanumeric zone, 1-9 or A-F. All fixtures attached to
that iW PDS-150 reside within the designated zone. For example,
in an installation with two iW PDS-150s 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-150 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 individually,
set unique zone designators for each power/data supply.
• Location of iW PDS-150 in relationship to lights. Refer to the
user guide for your IntelliWhite fixture to determine the maximum
distance from the fixture to install the iW PDS-150.
NOTE: Adhere to all state and local wiring codes when making the
leader extension connections.
• Maximum number of fixtures per iW PDS-150. Refer to the user
guide for your IntelliWhite fixtures to determine the maximum
number of fixtures per iW PDS-150 and the maximum number of
fixtures per fuse group.
STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
1. Set the zone(s) for the iW PDS-150s
2. Install the iW PDS-150.
3. Wire the iW PDS-150.
4. Connect the iW Scene Controller
SET THE iW POWER/DATA SUPPLY ZONE
To minimize installation time and effort, set the zone for each iW PDS-
150 prior to installing. Zones can be set or changed after installing
the iW PDS-150; however, any settings or changes made after power
is engaged requires a power cycle to recognize
the change.
Using a small, flat-head screw driver, set the zone for the iW PDS-150
by rotating the zone switch, located Zone Net Out port, to a specific
designator–1 to 9 or A to F. The designator zero (0) is reserved for
future features. See Fig. 1.
INSTALL THE iW PDS-150
• Select the location to mount the housing, keeping the iW PDS-150
within the maximum distance specified for your fixture and control-
ler. Refer to user guides for the cable run information.
NOTE: Specifications for specific fixtures supersede this information.
In certain conditions the maximum cable run is less than 60 feet.
• Prior to mounting, punch out the appropriate number of pre-formed
conduit holes.
• Mount the housing to a flat surface using four screws suitable for the
mounting surface. Mounting holes are located at each corner of the
bottom of the housing. (See mounting details, Fig. 1.)
MOUNTING THE POWER/DATA MODULE IN THE HOUSING
• Mount the Power/Data module prior to pulling the wiring into the
housing.
• Mount the power/data module to the stand-off holes in the bottom
of the housing using the provided mounting screws and lock wash-
ers. Mate the slotted hole of the board to the PEM mount referenced
in Fig. 2. (Refer to Fig. 3 for correct orientation.)
WIRING THE iW PDS-150
After mounting the power/data module, you are ready to connect
your IntelliWhite series fixtures.
CONNECTING INTELLIWHITE FIXTURES TO THE IW PDS-150
There are three fuse groups, each having two output terminals on the
power supply. Refer to the user guide for your IntelliWhite fixture for
the maximum number of fixtures per fuse group allowed.
• Connect the fixture cables to the output
terminal connectors.
• Ensure that the red, white and black
wires correspond to the 3-pin terminal
block notations (See Fig. 4.)
• Snap the terminal connector into the
output terminal.

CONNECTING POWER TO THE IW PDS-150
NOTE: It is the end user’s responsibility to use the proper conductors
to permanently connect the incoming facility power, and to provide
means for disconnecting the system.
• Connect the incoming power lines to the terminal block located on
the power supply. Using pig tails and wire nuts connect the incoming
line to the terminal labeled L, neutral to N, and ground to GND. (See
Figure 6.)
CONNECTING DATA TO THE POWER SUPPLY
To control Color Kinetics IntelliWhite fixtures with the iW PDS-150,
the iW Scene Controller is required. Depending on the installation
parameters and configuration, an iW Scene Controller can control
one or multiple iW PDS-150s. Refer to the iW Scene Controller
Installation Guide for complete instructions.
• Install the iW Scene Controller in a single gang wall box within
50 feet (15m) of the iW PDS-150.
• Pull the provided iW Scene Controller leader cable into the
iW PDS-150.
• 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
near the Zone Net In connector in the iW PDS-150. See Fig. 7.
NOTE: The iW Scene Controller provides data to, and receives
power from, the iW PDS-150; therefore, no external power supply
is needed for the iW Scene Controller.
• For installations that have one iW Scene Controller controlling
multiple iW PDS-150s, connect the iW Scene Controller to the first
iW PDS-150 in the installation then daisy chain CAT5 cables with
RJ45 connectors to the other iW PDS-150s using the Zone Net In
and Zone Net Out ports. See Fig. 8.
Install the provided terminator in the Zone Net Out connector in the
iW PDS-150 farthest from the keypad. There should be no more
than one terminator for the entire installation, no matter how many
iW PDS-150s are used.
REPLACING FUSES
WARNING: Ensure the power supply is off before connecting or dis-
connecting fuses.
Each of the main output terminals is equipped with a fuse. If an output
terminal is not functioning, replace the fuse as follows:
• Remove the protective fuse cover from the malfunctioning fuse.
• Remove the fuse from the malfunctioning fuse terminal.
• Insert the replacement fuse into the fuse terminal. Use only 4 amp,
3AG fuses. Additional replacement fuses are available from Color
