Installation
Notes
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP consists of
two parts, the fixture housing
and the concrete installation sleeve
. The fixture housing is IP67 rated, but
the
sleeve is not. Please pay close attention to the installation instructions
for the concrete installation sleeve regarding leveling and drainage.
You will have to run the AC power and signal cables into the concrete
installation sleeve and the fixture’s hou
sing. Do not use the fixture’s
junction box to extend the power or signal cables
to other units because it
may compromise the IP rating of the junction box. Instead, use individual
cables from the fixture to the corresponding distribution boxes.
Always kee
p the power cables away from the signal cables by running them
in different conduits and using separated distribution boxes.
Installation
Sleeve
Orientation
Orient the installation
sleeve to allow the signal
cable to enter the sleeve
using one of
the four cable
inlets and the power cable
to use the opposite inlet
, as
seen in the figure
. This
will reduce the stress to
the signal and power
cables when installing the
fixture, while keeping
them separated.
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 fixture
does not become
submerged in more than 1 m of water (IP67) during heavy rain.
In addition, make sure that the installation sleeve allows the stainless steel
collar to be leveled and flushed with the ground
surface to distribute the
load uniformly over the fixture’s surface.
Installation Sleeve
Drainage
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP can support a distributed load of up to
3,000 kg (6,614 lbs) when properly installed.

Beam Angle
Adjustment
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP has two LED modules. You can adjust the
angle of each of these modules to spread or narrow the fixture’s beam. To
do so, follow these steps:
•Loosen the ¼ turn Allen bolts on the stainless steel collar.
•Lift the fixture from the installation sleeve, making sure not to stretch
the power and signal cables.
•Loosen the six nuts that hold the collar to the housing, except two
adjacent ones.
•
Wait a few seconds for the seal to expand. This lowers the possibility of
damaging the seal.
•Complete the removal of the two remaining nuts.
•Remove the stainless steel collar.
•Carefully, lift and remove the protective glass and seal. Make sure not
to reverse the glass.
•Using only your hands, push on the sides of each module to adjust its
angle, as shown in the figure below.
•Replace the glass and seal.
•Replace the stainless steel collar, making sure to allow the Allen screws
to show and that the glass is flushed with the collar.
•Replace all six nuts and adjust them manually until they touch the
housing.
•Tighten the nuts uniformly by alternating between opposite nuts.
•
Reattach the fixture to the installation sleeve.

AC Power
This product has an auto-
ranging power supply that can work with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Junction
Box
This fixture has an IP67 rated junction box where the power and signal
cables come into the unit. The cables access the junction box through
individual (signal and power) IP67 rated stainless steel gland nuts.
Make sure that the junction seal is clean befo
re placing the cover back on.
In addition, tighten the gland nuts and the junction cover
to prevent water
from entering the junction box and cause a short.
The figure below shows the connections in the junction box.
Power
Wiring
To provide AC power to this fixture, you must run a single STJW rated, 3-
conductor cable (AWG18/3, 6~8 mm external diameter) from the power
distribution box into the installation sleeve and the fixture’s junction box.
Make sure to s
trip the end of the AC
power
cable that will connect to the
junction box as indicated in the figure
on the right.

Signal
Wiring
To provide signal to this fixture, you must run a single, IP67 rated DMX
signal cable (shielded, 2-conductor, AWG24/2
, 6.5 mm external diameter)
from the signal distribution box into the installation sleeve and the fixture’s
junction box. The signal cable
must match or exceed the electrical
characteristics of the Belden® 9841 cable for EIA RS-485 applications.
VERY IMPORTANT
Make sure to use power and signal cables with the indicated outer diameters
to ensure that the corresponding gland nut makes full contact with the
cable’s external insulation. This is required to ensure watertightness once
fully adjusted.

Power
Distribution
You must connect the bare-ended power cable from the fixture to a
power
distribution box. If you choose to bury the power distribution boxes
, make
sure that they are IP67 rated.

DMX
Controller
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP
can work with a standard DMX
controller. The channel assignments will depend on the chosen personality
(see Menu Options
) and the DMX address assigned to each fixture (see
Settings).
The figure below illustrates how to connect the DMX controller to the
Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP fixture(s).
DMX Controller
Connection
ILUMICON
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP can also work with the ILUMICON
controller instead of a standard DMX controller. Please refer to the
ILUMICON user manual to learn how to use it with this fixture.
The figure below illustrates how to connect the ILUMICON controller to
the Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP fixture(s).

Settings
The Ilumipod Inground Tri-12 IP
uses the Ilumicode unit for configuration
purposes.
Ilumicode
Connection
The diagram below shows how to connect the Ilumicode to this product.
Note that this connection will control multiple fixtures at the same time,
all having the same DMX address. To assign individual DMX addresses to
each fixture, you must connect the Ilumicode unit to each fixture,
individually.
Ilumicode
Connection
Diagram
ILUMINARC® suggests you to connect no more than 20 fixtures in this
mode and to keep the total distance to less than
60 m (197 ft). Otherwise,
you might need to use an optically isolated signal amplifier.
