PDS-60 Product Guide4
Installation
PDS-60 is a power/data supply designed for indoor and outdoor DMX and Ethernet lighting
installations.
PDS-60 supplies power and data to low-voltage luminaires from Philips Color
Kinetics and delivers 62 watts of low-voltage output via two ports. It features a NEMA 4
(IP66) enclosure, allowing for installation in dry, damp, and wet locations. It automatically
accommodates input voltages ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.
Owner/User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to install,
maintain, and operate
PDS-60 in such a manner as to comply with all applicable codes,
state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult with the appropriate electrical
inspector to ensure compliance.
Plan the Installation
To streamline installation and ensure accurate conguration, start with a layout or
a lighting design plan that shows the physical layout of the installation and identies
the locations of all lighting luminaires,
power/data supplie s, controllers, switches, and
cables.
DMX and Ethernet Congurations
PDS-60 DMX/Ethernet can be used in either DMX or Ethernet networks. PDS-60
Pre-Programmed versions can be used only in DMX environments and cannot receive
incoming signals from controllers. However, they can connect to DMX power/data supplies
and connected luminaires via their DMX OUT ports.
DMX is appropriate for relatively simple installations, or for installations in which
groups of lights operate in unison (for example, for accent lighting, perimeter lighting,
or cove lighting applications). Typical DMX installations with luminaires from Philips
Color Kinetics use a controller such as iPlayer 3, a Controller Keypad for turning
lights on and off and triggering light shows, and one or more PDS-60 devices. PDS-60
devices can be connected in series to deliver DMX data from a single controller to all
connected lights. Note that the maximum for DMX data run lengths is 305 m (1,000 ft).
Because it is not subject to the DMX addressing limitations, Ethernet is the preferred
environment for large-scale, color-changing light shows and video displays, both of
which require large numbers of unique addresses.
Typical Ethernet installations with LED lighting luminaires from Philips Color Kinetics use
an Ethernet switch, an Ethernet controller (such as ColorDial Pro, Light System Manager,
or Video System Manager Pro), one or more Ethernet Controller Keypads (for light show
triggering), and one or more PDS-60 devices. For additional devices in a network, use
additional Ethernet switch ports.
In an Ethernet environment, each Philips Color Kinetics power/data supply has a unique
IP address. Each luminaire connected to the device is automatically assigned unique
identifiers that controllers use to identify and manage each luminaire.

Mount the PDS-60
Make sure line power is OFF before mounting and connecting. A power screwdriver is
recommended.
1. Position the PDS-60 device in its designated mounting location. Make sure the
mounting location is at, suitable for the mounting hardware, and clear of debris
and other obstructions.
2. Using four screws suitable for the mounting surface, secure the PDS-60 device
to the surface using the two mounting slots located at both ends of the device.
Install EMI Suppression Cores
The PDS-60 arrives packaged with three EMI suppression cores. These suppression
cores reduce electromagnetic noise that can interfere with other electrical
equipment. The white suppression cores are for iColor and eW Flex strands or
luminaire leader cables. The black suppression core is for the power cable.
Before attaching the cores, make sure that each set of ferrite metal halves are secure
in their plastic housing.
1. Attach the black suppression core to the power cable:
• Near the end of the cable that connects to the power/data supply, coil the
power cable into a small loop.
• Place the section of the loop where the cord is doubled into the suppression
core. Be sure the cord is securely in the core’s middle.
• Snap the core shut around the doubled cord.
2. Attach a white suppression core to the luminaire strand or leader cable attached
to port 1.
• Near the connection to the power/data supply, coil the strand or cable into
a small loop.
• Place the section of the loop where the cord is doubled into the suppression
core. Be sure the cord is securely in the core’s middle.
• Snap the core shut.
3. Repeat step 2 for the second white suppression core, if necessary.
EMake sure that there is adequate space
to make all connections to the top and side
of the device.
EMake sure that the device is securely
attached and free of excessive vibration.

Prepare Cable Connections
1. Using a Philips screwdriver, loosen the housing cover’s six screws to open the
PDS-60 housing.
2. Identify which openings to use for power and data cables, and using an 8 mm
hex wrench or adjustable wrench, place the included sealing plugs and rings in
the unused openings. Make sure that the sealing rings are seated correctly. Use
RTV silicone if installing in damp or wet locations.
3. Torque the sealing plugs to approximately 2.2 Nm (19 in-lb).
4. Install and tighten cable connectors or conduit to manufacturer’s specs in the
remaining openings. Do not overtighten.
• For installations using US trade size conduit, the larger openings
accommodate 3/4 in NPT cable connectors for power, and the smaller
openings accommodate 1/2 in NPT cable connectors for data.
Make Data Input Connections
PDS-60 has different layouts for data connection ports, depending on the version
you have. See the illustrations on the left as a guide to the port locations in the
connection chamber.
The PDS-60 Ethernet / DMX power/data supply listens for data on both the DMX
and Ethernet input ports. When valid data is detected, PDS-60 automatically
switches to the appropriate mode. The PDS-60 Pre-Programmed cannot receive
input from controllers, but it can pass light show data to downstream DMX devices
using its DMX OUT port.
DMX
1. Using an RJ45 connector cable, connect your controller’s DMX output port to
the DMX IN port on the PDS-60 (not applicable for pre-programmed devices).
2. To add a second power/data supply to your DMX network, connect an RJ45
cable from the PDS-60 device’s DMX OUT port to the DMX IN port on the
second PDS-60 device.
3. If necessary, continue connecting power/data supplies (up to 32 without a repeater).
Ethernet
• Using a CAT 5 cable, connect the ETHERNET IN port on the PDS-60 to an
available port on an Ethernet switch connected to your lighting network.

Connect Luminaires to PDS-60
Make sure line power is OFF before connecting luminaires.
1. If necessary, prepare each of the luminaire’s leader cables by cutting the cable
jacket to expose the luminaire wire and then stripping the jacket from the wire.
2. Using a small athead screwdriver, loosen the three captive screws inside one of
the 3-pin connectors.
3. Guide each luminaire leader cable into an opening into the PDS-60 connection
chamber.
4. If you are connecting more than one luminaire, use a strand of 3-conductor
copper wire (4-conductor copper wire for C-Splash 2) and wire connectors to
connect each luminaire leader cable to a single short cable. (See the illustrations
below.)
3. Insert the red, white, and black wires of the single cable into the 3-pin connector’s
corresponding wire entry slots. (See the illustration on the right.)
4. Guide the connector and cable into the PDS-60 luminaire port.
5. If installing a C-Splash 2 luminaire, connect the green ground wire to a wire nut
and an 203 mm (8 in) connecting wire. Using an insulated ring or spade crimp
terminal, attach the connecting wire to the ground located in the connection
chamber.

Display Light Effects (Pre-Programmed Only)
If you have the pre-programmed version of the PDS-60, you are able to display
effects on your luminaires without a controller. Pre-programmed devices cannot
receive signals from external controllers, but they can send light show data to other
downstream DMX-based power/data supplies via the DMX OUT port. This means
PDS-60 Pre-Programmed devices can effectively play the role of controllers. (Refer to
the Make Data Input Connections section for instructions on how to link power/data
supplies via DMX OUT ports.)
To achieve the effects you want, you use the controls inside the device, which consists
of a toggle switch and three buttons. Once you have set the mode, speed, and options
for effects using the control button, PDS-60 stores your settings and records them,
even after you have cycled the power on the device.
To display effects:
1. With the PDS-60 cover removed and the power off, set the toggle switch inside
the device’s housing to position 1.
2. Power the PDS-60 on.
3. Use the Mode button to select an effect. Press and release the Mode button to
cycle through the effects described in the Light Effect Settings table below.
4. If desired, use the Options button to modify the effect you chose with the mode button.
5. Use the Speed button to change the speed of effect. Hold down the Speed
button to change the color for Fixed Color effect.
Effect setting changes are immediate.

PDS-60 Product Guide 11
Addressing and Controlling Luminaires
PDS-60 devices use DMX addresses to communicate with connected luminaires. Each
node receives three sequential DMX addresses, one for the red channel, one for the
green channel, and one for the blue channel. When using a PDS-60 device in a DMX
or an Ethernet network, you assign luminaires start DMX addresses using controller
software, such as QuickPlay Pro or Light System Composer (Light System Manager’s
creative design software).
Ethernet is the preferred environment for installations requiring large numbers of
individually controllable nodes, such as video displays and dynamic light shows with
intricate effects. In Ethernet networks, each PDS-60 device comes pre-programmed
with a unique IP address, so it effectively functions as its own DMX universe. In
an Ethernet network, you can discover all PDS-60 devices in an installation using
QuickPlay Pro, then you can assign them start DMX addresses.
In DMX network, you address PDS-60 devices by assigning start DMX addresses to
luminaire serial numbers in QuickPlay Pro.
Pre-programmed PDS-60 devices cannot receive input from controllers, but they
can send light show data to other DMX power/data supplies connected to the Pre-
Programmed device’s DMX OUT port. No address programming is required for
a PDS-60 Pre-Programmed device. However, you will need to address luminaires
connected to downstream PDS-60 devices in the same way you would address
luminaires in an ordinary DMX network.
For complete details on addressing, and on using QuickPlay Pro, refer to the
Addressing and Conguration Guide, available at www.colorkinetics.com/support/
addressing/.
Status Indicators
Each PDS-60 has between two and five status indicators, depending on the version of
the device. All indicators are located inside the luminaire’s housing.
Power Indicators (All Devices)
Both versions of the PDS-60 have two power indicators, one for each luminaire port. If
a port fails for any reason (for instance, if a fuse blows), the red indicator light will be off.
PDS-60 Ethernet/DMX
The PDS-60 Ethernet/DMX power/data supply listens for data on both the DMX and
Ethernet input ports. When a valid connection is detected, PDS-60
Ethernet/DMX switches to the appropriate mode. Three indicator lights show the
mode (Ethernet or DMX) and if applicable, the status of the Ethernet connection:
Red
Yellow
Green

Securing the Cover and Sealing PDS-60
After all the power and data connections, addressing, and pre-programmed effects
changes have been made, and you have made sure that all through holes are water-
tight, you may seal the device.
1. Replace the cover, ensuring that the gasket is seated properly and that no wires
are pinched.
2. Attach the cover with the six included screws. Tighten screws to 8 to 10 in-lbs
(1 in-lb = 11.2985 N-cm). If you are installing in a wet or damp location, seal
with RTV silicone.
Installing in Damp or Wet Locations
When installing in damp or wet locations, seal all junction boxes, power supplies, and
other devices with electronics-grade RTV silicone sealant so that water or moisture
cannot enter or accumulate in any wiring compartments, cables, luminaires, or other
electrical parts. You must use suitable outdoor-rated junction boxes when installing
in damp or wet locations. Additionally, you must use gaskets, clamps, and other parts
required for installation to comply with all applicable local and national codes.
Replacing Fuses
PDS-60 has a fuse for each of its ports, protecting each port from excessive current.
Always replace a blown fuse with a 4 A, 5 x 20 fast blow fuse.
1. Make sure that the device’s power is OFF.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the six screws holding the cover in place.
3. Remove the blown fuse from its metal clips next to the luminaire and data
connection ports (see image below).
4. Replace the fuse with a new, 4 A, 5 x 20 fast blow fuse.
5. Replace the cover, ensuring that the gasket is seated properly and that no wires
are pinched.
6. Attach the cover with the six included screws. Tighten screws to 8 to 10 in-lbs
(1 in-lb = 11.2985 N-cm). If you are installing in a wet or damp location, seal
with RTV silicone.
E In wet or damp locations, use electronics-grade
RTV silicone to seal all points of entry in all PDS-60
devices and all connected junction boxes to
prevent water inltration.
