Start The Installation - Philips iColor Flex LMX gen2 Product Manual

Refer to the Installation Instructions or
E
Specification Sheet of your power/data supply
for guidelines on configuring and positioning the
power/data supply in relation to a controller or
Ethernet switch.
Power / Data Supply
Keep the following considerations in mind when creating a lighting design plan and
layout grid:
• Determine the appropriate location of each power/data supply in relation to the
strands, and of the strands in relation to each other. You connect a strand of
iColor Flex LMX gen2 nodes to an available power/data supply port using a leader
cable of 7.6 m (25 ft), 15.2 m (50 ft), or 30.5 m (100 ft).
• iColor Flex LMX gen2 Leader Cables can be shortened, and strands can be cut to
any node length. An extra termination cap is included for sealing the cut end of
the strand.
Do not trim the leader cable between the power/data supply connector and the
PCA transmitter junction box. Do not trim strands between the connector and
the first node.

Do not trim
• On an architectural diagram or other diagram that shows the physical layout of
the installation, identify the locations of all switches, controllers, power supplies,
and strands.
• Nodes in each strand are sequentially addressed beginning with the node closest
to the leader cable. Orientation of the power/data supply is therefore especially
critical when using dynamic effects.
• In Ethernet environments, each power/data supply is identified with a unique IP
address. We recommend recording the IP address of each power/data supply
on a layout grid. For complex installations with many power/data supplies, we
recommend assigning meaningful IP addresses to each power/data supply so that
their locations are easy to identify.

Start the Installation

1. Install all power/data supplies, including any interfaces with controllers. Power/data
supplies send power and control signals to strands over the leader cable.
2. Verify that all additional supporting equipment (switches, controllers) is in place.
3. Ensure that all additional parts (for example, optional single node mounts, spacers,
mounting track, and mounting hardware) and tools are available.
