Connecting to lSM or VSM (for ethernet)
For Ethernet control, connect the iColor Accent Powercore fixtures and
the Data Enabler EO to the Light System Manager (LSM) or Video System
Manager (VSM) as described in the LSM or VSM User Guides.
Figure 4 shows the configuration.
: Ensure terminator is inserted into last fixture of each series.
caution
Failure to do so may result in minor or moderate injury or property
damage and will void the warranty.
installation Steps for dMX Control
1. Install the Data Enabler EO.
2. Install the fixtures.
3. Address the fixtures using QuickPlay Pro software.
4. Connect to a Philips Color Kinetics or third party DMX512 controller.
Each of these steps are described below.

addressing the Fixtures (for dMX)
: Serial addressing gives you the option of post-installation addressing
note
multiple fixtures through a single Data Enabler or multiple Data Enablers
using the recorded serial numbers. Refer to the QuickPlay Pro Addressing
and Configuration Guide.
The iColor Accent Powercore fixtures are pre-addressed to light number
1 at the time of manufacture. Address each fixture with a new light number,
as needed, using QuickPlay Pro.
: During setup of a DMX installation, the QuickPlay Pro software
note
addresses the fixtures using an Ethernet connection between the PC and
the Data Enabler EO.

temperature Monitoring
Terminator
For protection from extreme temperatures, the iColor Accent Powercore has been
designed with a temperature monitoring feature. If operating temperatures rise to
an unsafe level, a compensation circuit is triggered and the iColor Accent Powercore
operation is interrupted causing the lights to turn dull red.
To prevent additional power shut-downs, determine the cause of the overheating and
correct the problem. Power-cycle the system to return to full intensity.
