3. Installation
Always keep the
power cables
away from the
signal cables by
running them in different
conduits and using
separate distribution
boxes.
Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP
Optic 25 RGB
products can support a
distributed load of up to
3,000 kg (6,614 lb) when
properly installed.
Installation Notes
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB consists of two parts, the product housing and
the concrete installation sleeve. The product housing is IP67-rated. The installation sleeve is
not. Read the Installation Sleeve Setup instructions carefully.
Installation Sleeve Orientation
You will have to run the AC power and signal cables into the concrete installation
sleeve. Position the installation sleeve so the signal cable enters the sleeve using one of
the two cable inlets. Use the opposite inlet for the power cable (refer to the following
figure). This will reduce the stress to the signal and power cables when setting down
the product, while keeping them separated under the product’s housing.
Installation Sleeve Setup
When setting up the installation sleeve, make sure that any water that may have
entered it can drain out of the sleeve on its own. Locate the installation sleeve above
the normal drainage level so the product is never under more than 1 m of water (IP67)
during heavy rain.
In addition, make sure that the installation sleeve and the stainless steel collar are
horizontal and even with the ground surface. This helps to distribute the load
uniformly over the product’s surface and avoids creating dangerous bumps.

Installation
Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB User Manual Rev. 5 7
Always connect
the Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP
Optic 25 RGB to a
protected circuit with an
appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect
the Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP
Optic 25 RGB to a
rheostat (variable resistor)
or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer
channel serves only as a
0 to 100% switch.
Make sure to
connect the
Ilumipod Inground
Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB to a
power line with the proper
voltage and frequency, as
per the specifications in
this manual or on the
product’s sticker.
The listed
current rating
indicates the
maximum current draw
during normal operation.
If you choose to
bury the power or
signal distribution
boxes, make sure that
they are IP67-rated or
greater.
AC Power
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB has an auto-ranging power supply that can work
with an input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the specifications in
this User Manual or on the product’s sticker.
Power Consumption
To determine the power requirements for the Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25
RGB see the label affixed to the side of the product. Alternatively, you may refer to
the specifications chart in the Technical Information chapter of this User Manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
AC Plug
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB comes with an un-terminated power
input cord for hardwiring during installation. Use the table and the illustration below to
wire a plug.

If using junction boxes, make sure to use IP67-rated conduit for surface installations.

Installation
8 Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB User Manual Rev. 5
The Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP
Optic 25 RGB
products must be linked
using DMX cable in a
daisy chain (serial)
fashion. To comply with
the EIA-485 standard, no
more than 32 products
should be connected on
one daisy chain without
using a DMX optically-
isolated splitter. Doing
otherwise may result in
deterioration of the digital
DMX signal.
USITT
recommends
limiting the total
length of the DMX cable
(from the first
product/controller to the
last product) to
300–455 m
(985–1,500 ft).
Disconnect the
product from the
AC power before
opening it.
The signal cable
must match or
exceed the
electrical characteristics
of the Belden® 9841
cable for EIA RS-485
applications. You may
also use CAT5, 5e, or
CAT6 LAN cable.
DMX Linking
You may link the Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB to a DMX controller using a
standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX products compatible with the Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB, you can control each individually with a single DMX
controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB to a DMX controller, you
may download the DMX Primer document from the ILUMINARC® website at
http://www.iluminarc.com/reports/dmx-primer.
DMX Modes
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB uses the standard DMX data
connection for its ARC 1, ARC 1 + D, ARC FULL, and SOLID. Refer to the
Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes and the Operation chapter
to learn how to configure the Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB. The DMX
Values section will give you detailed information regarding the above-mentioned
DMX modes.

If you have not
configured the
DMX starting
address and DMX
mode for each product,
they will all use their
default values. This
means that all products
will operate in unison.
Controllers
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB can operate with a standard DMX controller or
the Ilumicode addresser. The sections below will show you how to connect these products to
the corresponding controllers. The instructions to operate these products with each of the above
controllers are in the Operation chapter of this User Manual.
DMX Controller
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB products can work with a standard
DMX controller. The channel assignments will depend on the chosen personality (see
the Menu Map) and the DMX address assigned to each product (see Programming).
The figure below illustrates how to connect the DMX controller to the Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB products.

Installation
10 Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB User Manual Rev. 5
ILUMINARC®
suggests that you
connect no more
than 20 products
together at one time with
this controller and keep the
total distance to less than
60 m (197 ft). Otherwise,
you might need to use an
optically isolated signal
amplifier.
Ilumicode Addresser
The Ilumicode addresser (“Ilumicode”)
is required to program the settings on the
Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB. The diagram below shows how to connect
the Ilumicode addresser to this product.
Note that this connection will control multiple products at the same time, all having the
same DMX address.
The Ilumicode must be used to configure the product. The Ilumicode can be
purchased separately through your ILUMINARC® sales representative.

Product Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the products
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning
frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the products at least twice a month. Dust build-up
reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light
