INSTALLING iMOPS-150
Color Kinetics ® iMOPS-150 is specially
designed to supply power and data to
iColor™ Cove lighting fixtures.
This fixture should be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with NEC and rele-
vant local codes for power supplies with
Class 2 outputs.
WARNING: iMOPS-150 is rated for instal-
lation in environments where the temperature
does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC). To ensure
product performance, a volume of 8 cubic
feet of air is required around the unit. Do not
obstruct the vent holes on the unit's cover.
This power supply is not suited for outdoor
locations and must be shielded from water
spray.
Unpacking
• Lift the power supply out of the housing,
and remove the packing material from the
cover and power supply. (See Fig. 1.)

Mounting the iMOPS Housing
• Select the location to mount the housing,
keeping in mind that the maximum cable
run from iMOPS-150 to any iColor Cove
fixture is 50 feet.
• Punch out the appropriate number of
pre-formed 3/4" conduit holes. At least 3
holes are recommended to separate the
following: incoming power (line voltage),
incoming data, and outgoing data and
power (DC voltage).
• Mount the housing to the wall using four
#6 dry wall screws. Mounting holes are
located at the bottom of the housing, one
at each corner.
