Knockout Instructions
It is recommended that the cover is fitted and the cover screws tight when the
knockouts are being removed.
When removing the knock outs place a flat blade screwdriver with a 3/16” (4mm)
blade as shown and a light hit with a hammer to the head of the screw driver
will allow the Knockout to be removed.
Alternatively drill location points are located in the centre of each Knock
out to allow the use of a hole saw to remove the knockouts.
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE 16/35/65 WATT PCR-2DMX CLASS 2
OUTDOOR DRIVER/RECEIVER FOR 12V D/C PAL 4 WIRE LED LIGHTS
FEATURES
- Easy to Install
- UL Listed Class 2 Power Supply / Swimming Pool and Spa Transformer (WDGV)
- IP65 Wet Location Construction
- Constant 24V DC Output Voltage over the Supply
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This PCR-2DMX Class 2 power supply is specifically designed to supply 24V DC
to power the PAL 4 Wire UL Listed LED Pool lights.
The PCR-2DMX must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
by a Certified Electrician or Qualified Pool Technician.
NOTE: No bonding is required from this Class 2 power supply to the UL
Listed PAL Pool Light fixtures as they are made of an all plastic construction
and comply with NEC article 680 requirements.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR PCR-2MX RGB OUTDOOR DRIVER
Step 1. The PCR-2DMX Class 2 Power Supply is a Weatherproof construction
(IP65) and should be mounted on a flat surface using the mounting legs on the
enclosure with appropriate fixtures for the mounting substrate and in a
suitable position to suit the intended location of the PAL 4 Wire LED Pool
Lights and installed to comply with all the requirements of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) and all relevant local codes and ordinances.
NOTE: The Driver Enclosure must be located a minimum distance of 5 feet
measured horizontally from the inside wall of the pool and not less than 1
foot above the maximum pool water level measured to the top of the Driver
Enclosure.
NOTE: The enclosure must be mounted using the mounting legs on the
enclosure with the screw set supplied. If the enclosure is to be mounted on a
concrete or block wall, mark out the mounting hole locations and drill 3/16”
holes using a masonry drill then fit the Star Plugs supplied into the holes
and fix using the stainless steel screws supplied.
S tep 2. Using the conduit entry on the bottom (bottom-front on PCR-2DMX)
right hand side of the PCR-2DMX (as shown) connect the 110-240V power supply
to NEC code requirements.
Step 3. Using the remaining conduit entries at the bottom of the PCR-2DMX
(as shown), connect the 4 core wire from the PAL 4 WIRE LED LIGHTS. Please
ensure the 4 cores are connected to the correct terminals. 2 x output conduit
entries are provided in the enclosure to connect up to 2 x PAL-LED 4 Wire Pool
Lights.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR PCR-2DMX RGB OUTDOOR DRIVER
Note 1:
The PCR-2DMX is suitable for PAL 4 wire lights.
Note 2:
Knock outs are provided in the enclosure to connect up to 2 x PAL 4 wire UL
Listed Pool Lights.
Note 3:
An unlimited number of drivers can be controlled by one transmitter.
PCR DMX Operation
The DMX input module allows remote DMX control over the two zone outputs in
the PCR 2Z.
Installation
- Connect DMX input to “In” screw terminal block, green connections as indicated on the PCB.
- Connect DMX loop to “Thru” screw terminal block.
- If no loop out is used, place supplied shunt across “Term” pins.
- Set DMX address as per the table on the following page.
Operation
The DMX footprint of the PCR DMX is of two x 3 channel generic RGB lights,
total 6 active channels. In 4 channel mode there is a vacant channel after
each Blue, so each PCR4 occupies 8 channels. Refer to table below.
Signal LED
When in DMX mode the “CPU” Led on the PCB operates as a DMX signal indicator.
This LED is illuminated during the DMX packet – its flash rate is therefor
dependent upon the DMX controller being used. At high rates of refresh the
signal LED may not appear to flash.
Loss of DMX
The output levels are held for 60 seconds after the DMX is lost, after which
time the output is driven off. After a further 60 seconds of no DMX the fan
(if fitted) is turned off.
Other
The software includes temperature limiting – if the temperature goes over
about 60C the output levels are reduced.
The PCR DMX input does not support RDM.
