2.1.3 Sample voltage drop calculation
Situation ‘X’:
Wire resistance (Rwire): 0.02Ohm/m (check the specifications of the wire you are using)
Distance from LED output to LED load (L): 100m
LED load used (If): 1.05A
Calculation of available forward voltage for situation X:
Vf max =
48V - (2 * Rwire * L * If)
48V - (2 * 0.02 * 100 * 1.05) = 43.8V
From the above follows that in situation X you have a voltage drop of 48V - 43.8V = 4.2V per LED output
EMI susceptibility will increase with longer wire lengths.

2.2.2 LED outputs
POWERdrive 6060/R features 32 LED outputs. Note that if you want to connect an LED load to every LED output, the maximum current per output
is 800mA. Refer to Chapter 1, Technical Characteristics, for more information on derating and LED wiring.
LED outputs controlled over DMX/RDM
When you are using the DMX or RDM protocol, you can assign a DMX address to every single LED output. For configuration options such as LED
output current, however, the LED outputs are grouped according to the corresponding current sources.
Figure 2.4 POWERdrive 6060/R LED outputs and corresponding current sources
LED outputs controlled over DALI
When you are using the DALI protocol, you can define up to 4 DALI ballasts for every POWERdrive 6060/R with your DALI commissioning tool.
Figure 2.5 Up to 4 DALI ballasts
LED outputs controlled over 0-10V
When you are controlling the POWERdrive 6060/R over 0-10V, all LED outputs are controlled over the same channel, i.e. all LED outputs will show
the same behavior.
Figure 2.6 One 0-10V control channel

12
2.2.3 LEDcode/NTC
For extensive thermal management purposes, you can use an NTC thermistor. This sensor can be fastened on or near the LED engine, and its
wires connected to the LEDcode/NTC connectors.
Figure 2.7 Examples of NTC thermistors
The NTC thermistor feeds the temperature values that it detects to the driver. Whenever these values exceed the predefined NTC temperature limit,
the driver will gradually decrease the light output until normal operating temperatures are reached.
You can connect a 47kOhm NTC thermistor to the LEDcode/NTC interface for this closed loop thermal control. Recommended NTC thermistors
include:
238164063472 (leaded)
NTCASCWE3473J (screw)
2.2.4 0-10V
Connect your 0-10V control device to the ‘0-10V+’and ‘0-10V-’connector on the POWERdrive 6060/R.
2.2.5 DALI
Use the DALI connectors to connect the POWERdrive 6060/R to a DALI network. Always combine a DA+ and DA- connector for either data input or
data output. You can address the LED outputs over a total of 4 DALI ballasts.
2.2.6 120-230V AC
The LED driver has been designed for use with universal mains voltage input of 120-230V AC, 50-60Hz.

3. Installing the POWERdrive 6060/R
This chapter gives guidelines for the installation of POWERdrive 6060/R with regard to cable connections, grounding the LED output wires and use
of cable trunks.
3.1 Cable connections
It is recommended that you use shielded cabling for the LED output wires that connect the 19” rack unit to the LED loads in order to reduce EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference). This will enable the installing party to meet EMC requirements.
For connection of LED, NTC and LEDcode wires, use the mating connectors listed below:
2-pole terminal block, Phoenix contact FMC 1.5/2-ST-3.5-1952267 P1334
4-pole terminal block, Phoenix contact FMC 1.5/4-ST-3.5-1952283 P1348
Figure 3.1 Cable connections: mains cable (1), NTC and LEDcode wires (2), LED wires (3) and DMX cable (4)

14
3.2 Common practice for grounding LED wires
POWERdrive 6060/R has been designed for installation in a 19” rack. It is recommended to ground the shielded LED output cables both at the
19”rack unit and close to the LED load.
Inside the 19” rack unit, ground the LED wires as depicted in Figure 3.3 by leading them though an earthing clamp (2) that is attached to a C-rail (1).
Ground the LED wires a second time as close to the LED load as possible.
Figure 3.2 Grounding LED wires inside 19” rack unit

15
3.3 Cable trunk
Cable trunks as depicted in Figure 3.3 will facilitate leading the wires over longer distances inside the building.
Figure 3.3 Using cable trunks

4. Configuring POWERdrive 6060/R
Configure the POWERdrive 6060/R over its intuitive, 3-button user interface with display. The easy-to-navigate menu allows you to set parameters
such as number of LED groups, DMX or DALI settings for networked mode and show/colour/dim values for standalone operation. You can also lock
the driver’s configuration and perform a test run of the connected LED groups.
This chapter explains how to work with the user interface, and lists the various menu items and selectable values.
4.1 Menu button combinations
POWERdrive 6060/R features three menu buttons on its front side (M, - and +) with which you can navigate the configuration menu. The display
above the buttons shows the menu options and values that can be selected for every option.
Pressing the M button
shows the current mode or the next menu option; use the M button to browse menus and settings without making any changes.
saves a changed value.
turns off the display after the last menu option has been displayed.
Pressing the + (plus) or - (minus) button
changes a value. The changed value is only saved when M is pressed.
Have you accidentally changed a value but haven’t confirmed it yet by pressing M? By refraining from pressing the buttons for at least 8 seconds,
you will leave the menu (display is turned off) without changing the value.
If you are in a menu and want to change to another menu, refrain from pressing the buttons for at least 8 seconds (display is turned off), and
subsequently press the button combination for the menu you want to change to.
4.2 Order of LED driver configuration
The very first time the LED driver is powered on, the display will show the LED driver type (POWER RACK), for a couple of seconds. Next, the
display shows “SET MODE”. Set the mode of operation before you move on to the other menu items.
If the power is interrupted to a POWERdrive 6060/R that has already been configured, the display will only show the driver type when the power
comes back on, but will not go to the Set Mode menu, as the driver’s configuration has been saved to memory.
Basic configuration of the POWERdrive 6060/R includes the following steps:
1. Set the mode of operation (see 4.3 Setting the operation mode).
2. Set the LED output currents and LED group configuration (see 4.4 Setting the LED output current and LED group configuration).
3. Configure or view the operation mode you have chosen (see 4.5).
4. Optional:
You can do a test run of all connected LEDs by simultaneously pressing the M, - and + buttons
You can hard or soft lock the configuration by simultaneously pressing the M and + button and holding this combination down for 5
seconds
You can reset the driver’s configuration to the factory defaults by simultaneously pressing the M, - and + buttons and holding this
combination down for 5 seconds

17
4.3 Setting the operation mode
To enter the SET MODE menu:
1. The very first time the driver is powered on, the display will show the driver type/name for a couple of seconds and then automatically
enter the SET MODE menu.
To manually enter the SET MODE menu, press the M button for 5 seconds
The display shows “SET”- “MODE”, followed by the name of the currently active operation mode
2. Using the minus or plus button, go to the operation mode of your choice (COLR, SHOW, DMX, DALI or 10V).
3. Press M to save your choice. The display will turn off after you have pressed the M button.
Figure 4.1 Set mode menu
If you have confirmed COLR as the mode of operation, it is recommended to set the LED groups and the LED output current first,
before entering the COLR menu to set the color of your choice: if the LED current is not set correctly (e.g. too low), there might not
be any light output for you to verify the color.
4.4 Setting the LED output current and LED group configuration
In the setup menu, you can configure the LED output currents per current source, set the LED group configuration, and define the NTC
temperature.
Ensure that the LEDs you’re connecting to the driver can handle the LED output current! For instance, connecting 500mA LEDs to a
driver that has been configured for a 700mA output current will blow up the LEDs!
Figure 4.2 Configuring LED output current, LED group configuration, NTC temperature

18
To set LED output currents and LED group configurations:
1. Press M and the plus button simultaneously.
2. In the first menu (CUR1), select the LED output current for the current source 1. Figure 4.3 shows which current sources the LED outputs
are connected to. By pressing the plus or minus button you can go up or down in 50mA steps.
Figure 4.3 Current sources and corresponding LED outputs
3. Press M to save your choice, and repeat the same exercise for the LED outputs connected to current source 2 (CUR2), 3 (CUR3) and 4
(CUR4). Always save your selection by pressing M.
4. In the LED menu item, select the configuration of the LED groups that best fits your application. The below figures show the possibilities
offered in this menu item.
The LED group in pictures below refers to the Figure 4.3, which shows which current sources the LED outputs are connected to.
