  • Page 3 Equipment (Keypad) Ethernet Cable (POE Switch) (Power / Data) If you’re using a PoE switch, you simply connect iColor Keypad to an available port on the switch using a standard Ethernet cable. If you’re using a non-PoE switch, you must also attach a PoE injector to the Ethernet cable, You can position the PoE injector near the switch to keep the power and data sources together in the same location, and to give you maximum flexibility in positioning the keypad in a convenient location. iColor Keypad buttons, showing factory settings Rainbow Wash Fixed Color Variable Color Random Color Color Wash Custom Wash Decrease brightness Increase brightness Turn lights off iColor Keypad...

  • Page 6: Prepare The Installation

    Installation iColor Keypad can be installed in any Ethernet lighting installation using Data Enabler Pro devices or power / data supplies that support KiNET, the Ethernet lighting protocol from Philips Color Kinetics. Each iColor Keypad button broadcasts a stored, configurable scene to all LED lighting fixtures in your installation. iColor Keypad requires data and power over a single Ethernet connection. A PoE- compliant Ethernet switch delivers both data and power over a standard CAT 5e or better data cable. Installations with non-PoE switches require a PoE-compliant power source, such as the PoE Injector. Owner/User Responsibilities It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to install, Refer to the iColor Keypad Installation maintain, and operate iColor Keypad in such a manner as to comply with all applicable Instructions for specific warning and caution codes, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult with the appropriate statements. electrical inspector to ensure compliance. Prepare the Installation The positioning of iColor Keypad is generally determined by the installation configuration, especially the locations of fixtures and power sources. Because iColor Keypad does not need to be wired to a power source, it can be installed in a convenient but unobtrusive location. Create a layout plan that starts with the location of the Ethernet switch and, if applicable, the PoE injector(s), and includes all leader cables, CAT 5e or better data cables, and fixtures. If using a PoE-compliant Ethernet switch, ensure that a switch with an available port is installed in the lighting system. If using a non-PoE Ethernet switch, plan to install the required PoE injector(s) near the switch.

Installation Instructions 1. A UL-listed low-voltage junction box for Class II equipment may be used in North America. The provided junction box is for use outside of North America. • Snap out a knock-out on a side that will not be mounted to the structural component. • Mount the junction box using hardware appropriate for the mounting surface, 2. Thread CAT 5e or better data cable through the knock-out in the junction box. 3. Insert the RJ45 connector into the port on the back of the keypad. When the keypad is active, two indicator lamps indicate Ethernet link (green) and Ethernet activity (yellow). iColor Keypad Product Guide...

Align the screw holes in the keypad with the screw holes in the wall box. 6. Use two mounting screws to attach the keypad to the junction box. 7. Replace the faceplate by pressing it gently onto the keypad until it snaps into place. Make Cable Connections Connect the CAT 5e or better data cable to an available PoE port on an Ethernet switch installed in the network. If using a non-PoE Ethernet switch, connect the CAT 5e or better data cable to the output port on a PoE injector. The PoE injector must be connected to the Ethernet switch and AC outlet in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. iColor Keypad Product Guide...

    • To modify a Custom Wash color, click a color swatch in the color bar to display the current color settings. Use any combination of the color field, RGB sliders, and HSB sliders to select a new color. Controlling Two- and Three-Channel iW Fixtures Two-channel iW fixtures, such as iW Graze Powercore and iW Blast Powercore, use one channel of warm white LEDs and one channel of cool white LEDs to produce a range of color temperatures. Three-channel fixtures, such as iW Cove MX Powercore, add a channel of neutral white LEDs for greater precision in color temperature and color mixing. For compatibility with two-channel iW fixtures, three-channel fixtures can be configured to accept two channels of data input. When a fixture is in two-channel mode, you can use the Fixed White effect to adjust the fixture’s color temperature (relative warmth or coolness) and intensity. The two channels of data input are automatically mapped to the fixture’s three LED channels. In three-channel mode, you can use the Fixed Color or Variable Color effect for more precise control over the fixture’s color temperature. In three-channel mode, the warm channel maps to Red, the neutral channel to Green, and the cool channel to Blue. Changing System Configuration The System Configuration tab on the Settings panel lets you change iColor Keypad name and IP address, set universe, KiNET mode, the number of lights per port, and the number of ports To change system configuration, click the System Configuration tab in the Settings panel. iColor Keypad Product Guide...
