Prepare For The Installation; Start The Installation - Philips iPlayer 3 Instruction Manual

Prepare for the Installation

Owner / User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to
install, maintain, and operate the iPlayer 3 controller in such a manner as to comply
with all applicable codes, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult
with an appropriate electrical inspector to ensure compliance.
Create a Lighting Design Plan and Mapping Grid
• Create a lighting design plan that specifies the appropriate location of each
Data Enabler Pro or power / data supply in relation to the fixtures, and fixtures
in relation to each other.
• On an architectural diagram or other diagram that shows the physical layout of
the installation, identify the locations of all switches, controllers, power / data
supplies, leader and jumper cables, and fixtures.
• Select a convenient but unobtrusive location for mounting the iPlayer 3 that will
be accessible to a computer via USB connection. If also installing external show
selection switches such as Controller Keypad or AuxBox, mount the iPlayer 3 in
a location accessible to the maximum serial cable length of 50 ft (15.2 m).
• Verify that the iPlayer 3 mounting location meets environmental specifications for
operating temperature range and maximum relative humidity (see page 4).
• Each Philips fixture comes pre-programmed with a unique serial number. As
you unpack the fixtures, record the serial numbers in a mapping grid (typically a
spreadsheet or list) for easy referencing and addressing. You can address fixtures
using an addressing tool, such as iPlayer 3 itself, or in conjunction with a software
tool, such as QuickPlay Pro.
• Assign each fixture to a position in the lighting design plan.

Start the Installation

1. Install all data enablers or power supplies and fixtures, including any interfaces
with controllers. If your installation calls for jumper cables to add space between
fixtures, make sure they are available.
2. If necessary, address your fixtures using an addressing tool, such as QuickPlay Pro.
3. Ensure that all additional parts, including mounting hardware and tools,
are available.
