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,
maintain, and operate iColor Keypad 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.
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.
Assemble additional items:
• One CAT 5e or better data cable (unshielded twisted pair with an RJ45 connector,
to a maximum length of 328 ft or 100 m) to connect iColor Keypad to an available
port on a PoE-compliant Ethernet switch or to a PoE injector
• If using a PoE injector, an additional CAT 5e or better cable to connect the
injector to the Ethernet switch, and a power cord to connect the injector to a
power source. Refer to the PoE injector's installation or user guide for complete
installation instructions.
• If installing iColor Keypad in a junction box in North America, you must use a
UL-listed low-voltage junction box for Class II equipment. You can also install the
keypad in a multi-gang wall box, or you can flush-mount it using the mounting
holes at the top and bottom of the keypad, as allowed by applicable electrical
codes at your location.
• The junction box included with iColor Keypad is for use outside of North America.
You will need the provided flat-head screws for securing the keypad housing to the
junction box.
