Compact power / data supply for low-voltage linear fi xtures

Installation
sPDS-60ca is a power / data supply designed for low-voltage linear DMX and Ethernet
lighting installations. sPDS-60ca uses up to 30 low-voltage fixtures from Philips Color
Kinetics and delivers 62 watts of low-voltage output via two ports. It automatically
accommodates input voltages ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. On-board controls
allow you to set fixture addresses.
Owner / User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to install,
maintain, and operate sPDS-60ca 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.

Plan the Installation

To streamline installation and ensure accurate confi guration, start with a layout or
a lighting design plan that shows the physical layout of the installation and identifi es
the locations of all lighting fi xtures, power / data supplies, controllers, switches, and
cables.
DMX and Ethernet Confi gurations
sPDS-60ca can be used in either DMX or Ethernet networks. DMX is appropriate
for relatively simple installations, or for installations in which groups of lights operate
in unison (for example, for accent lighting, perimeter lighting, or cove lighting
applications).
Typical DMX installations with fixtures from Philips Color Kinetics use a controller
such as iPlayer 3, a Controller Keypad for turning lights on and off and triggering light
shows, and one or more sPDS-60ca devices. sPDS-60ca devices can be connected in
series to deliver DMX data from a single controller to all connected lights. Note that
the maximum for DMX data run lengths is 1000 ft (305 m).
