INTRODUCTION
IP-03 WEATHERPROOF ENCLOSURE USER GUIDE
2
Thank you for purchasing this UFO weatherproof enclosure which is fitted with an LED light
source unit.
To ensure the enclosure is mounted and connected correctly please read this user guide before
installing and operating or performing any maintenance on the enclosure. To ensure that the
light source within the enclosure is set up optimally and gives a long service life, please read the
light source user guide supplied with the enclosure before installing operating or performing
any maintenance on the unit.
Please keep both these guides for future reference.
This user guide is laid out in 3 sections:
Introduction - information on the enclosure and its light source.
Installation - details on how to install and power up the enclosure
(supplements the light source guide).
Maintenance - maintenance log, troubleshooting guide, technical specification.
IMPORTANT
This product must be installed in accordance with the applicable installation code, by a person
familiar with the construction and operation of the product, and the hazards involved. When
used in the USA or Canada, cables connected to this enclosure must be UL listed and not only
suitable for functional purposes but also for the environment/location in which the enclosure is
installed.
Type Y Attachment: If the external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire or associated
PSU/driver is damaged, it shall be exclusively replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent
or a similar qualified person to avoid a hazard.
Location: This enclosure must be located out of direct sunlight and away from areas prone to
flooding.
Circulation: It is imperative that a gap of at least 300mm is le around the unit and it is located
away from any other heat source. This is to allow air to circulate and prevent overheating. The
location must have free ventilation and must not have an ambient temperature higher than
that specified for the unit.
Mounting: This enclosure should be fixed upright to a vertical surface only, with suicient gap
at the front to allow the enclosure lid to be opened the full 130° for internal access.
Seal Integrity: Always close and secure the enclosure door aer access.

MODEL VARIATIONS
The UFO IP-03 enclosure is available in two power source variants:
1. DC supply (12V, 24V or 48VDC) denoted by the model number having the suix DC. This
version has the light source DC PSU mounted remotely external to the enclosure and the unit is
powered from the DC supply to a terminal block inside the enclosure. For this version, the PSU
can be supplied by UFO or the customer. For the USA and Canada, if supplied by the customer
the PSU must be UL listed and not only suitable in terms of correct voltage and wattage but also
suitable for the environment/location in which the PSU is to be installed.
2. Mains supply (240V 50 Hz) denoted by the model number having the suix AC. This
version has the light source 12V, 24V or 48V DC PSU mounted inside the enclosure and the unit
is powered from a mains supply to a fused terminal block inside the enclosure.
Four IP-03 enclosure variants are shown in the examples on the followng pages.
Figures 1 and 2 are schematics of the 24V light source version using a UFO Sirius light source as
an example. For DC supply voltages more than 12V a DC-to-DC converter is used to power the
12V DC fan.
Figures 3 and 4 below are schematics of the 12V and 48V DC light source versions using a UFO
Nebula and a UFO Pulsar light source as examples.

MOUNTING THE ENCLOSURE
The IP55 certification of these weatherproof enclosures is only valid if the enclosure is
wall mounted in the orientation detailed below.
The enclosure must be located out of direct sunlight and there must be a minimum of
300mm (12”) of space around all sides to allow for air circulation and to prevent
overheating.
Mounting the enclosure in any other way will invalidate the IP rating and the product
warranty.
UFO will accept no responsibility for any loss or damage that occurs due to incorrect
mounting.

INSTALLATION
12 IP-03 WEATHERPROOF ENCLOSURE USER GUIDE
MOUNTING THE ENCLOSURE
The diagram below shows the mounting hole positions on the rear face of the enclosure.
Mount as follows:
1. Support the enclosure against the mounting surface and use a spirit level to ensure
that it is level. As detailed opposite, the glands must be facing downwards.
2. Mark the 4 mounting hole positions and remove the enclosure from the surface.
3. Choose appropriate fixings for the surface that the enclosure is being mounted to. Note
that unless UFO are installing the unit then we do not supply fixings. This is due to the
large variance of surface types the enclosure may be mounted to.
4. Follow the instructions for the chosen fixings and use them to secure the enclosure to
the mounting surface.
Outside/Rear

MOUNTING THE REMOTE PSU
For remote DC enclosures (suix
DC) the remote PSU should be
mounted in a suitable location
considering the following to
minimise voltage drop between
PSU and enclosure:
1. Distance between PSU and
enclosure.
2. Size (AWG) of interconnecting DC
cable between PSU and enclosure.
NOTE: Maximum distance of 10m of
interconnecting cable based on a
minimum cable size of 16AWG.

INSTALLATION

UFO LIGHTING
CONNECTION - FOR DIRECT MAINS OPERATION (AC SUFFIX MODELS)
There may up to three connections required via the appropriate gland:
1. The fibre harness.
2. The DMX or 0-10V cables for any light sources with that control functionality
3. Mains supply cable.
The fibre harness should be connected first. Loosen the fibre optic gland in the gland
plate and carefully feed the harness through the gland, insert the common end connector
into the light source aperture and tighten the locking screw to hold it in place. Ensure
the fibre optic connector is fully inserted into the aperture before tightening the gland to
create a seal. Do not overtighten the nylon gland. Never run the luminaire with the fibre
optic harness out of the aperture.
Loosen the gland for the DMX or 0-10V cables and feed the cables carefully through the
gland leaving suicient slack inside the enclosure to reach the back of the light source.
Tighten the gland and fit RJ45 or XLR connectors to the cables as detailed in the light
source user guide. Plug the cables into the light source.
Loosen the gland for the mains cable and feed the cable carefully through the gland
leaving suicient slack inside the enclosure to reach the fused terminal block. Prepare
the cable end and wires for connection allowing suicient bare conductor to enter the
terminal fully.
Connect the incoming wires as follows:
• Green to earth
• Black to Live
• White to Neutral

and wires for connection allowing suicient bare conductor to enter the terminal fully.
Connect the incoming wires as follows:
• Red to DC positive
• Black to DC negative
COMPLETING THE CONNECTIONS AND POWERING UP
Once all the connections have been made as detailed in the Installation section of this
user guide and the same corresponding section of the light source user guide, connect
mains power to the enclosure (AC version) or the remote PSU (DC version). If no light is
produced consult the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this manual and the light source
manual.
