Installation
ColorReach Compact Powercore, a high-performance exterior architectural
floodlight with light projection of up to 448 ft (136.6 m), is designed to brilliantly
and dynamically illuminate prominent, signature façades. Because each ColorReach
Compact Powercore fixture weighs 51 lb (23 kg), you may need two people to
lift the fixture out of the box and position it in the mounting location. Optional
accessory optics require the installation of both a spread lens and a bezel on each
half of the fixture.
Owner / User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to
install, maintain, and operate ColorReach Compact Powercore fixtures 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.
Installing in Damp or Wet Locations
When installing in damp or wet locations, you must seal all junction boxes and Data
Enabler Pro devices with electronics-grade RTV silicone sealant so that water or
moisture cannot enter or accumulate in wiring compartments, cables, fixtures, or
other electrical parts. You must use suitable outdoor-rated junction boxes when
installing in wet or damp locations. Additionally, you must use gaskets, clamps, and
other parts required for installation to comply with all applicable local and national
codes.
Prepare for the Installation
1. Refer to the lighting design plan, architectural diagram, or other diagram that
shows the physical layout of the installation to identify the locations of all
switches, controllers, Data Enabler Pro devices, fixtures, and cables.
ColorReach Compact Powercore fixtures can be installed in series or in parallel
(wired to a common junction box). The maximum number of fixtures each
Data Enabler Pro can support depends on specific configuration details such as
fixture spacing, circuit size, line voltage, and method of connection (in series or
in parallel). For more information, and for help calculating the number of fixtures
your specific installation can support, download the Configuration Calculator
from www.philipscolorkinetics.com/support/install_tool/, or consult Application
Engineering Services at support@colorkinetics.com.
In addition to maximum fixture run lengths determined by the electrical
configuration, each Data Enabler Pro imposes maximum run lengths based on
data integrity. To ensure data integrity, maximum individual run length should not
exceed 175 feet (53.3 m), and the total cable length per Data Enabler Pro should
not exceed 400 feet (122 m).
