The Color Kinetics PDS-400 48V CA4 (Model # 109-000035-00) is a high-performance power and data supply solution designed to provide integrated data and power to intelligent color and tunable white LED luminaires. Perfect for large-scale outdoor FlexElite installations, the PDS-400 48V CA4 supports both color and white lighting, offering exceptional versatility for complex architectural lighting projects. With its robust IP66 rating, this device is built to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including urban lighting, signage, and dynamic media displays.
The PDS-400 48V CA4 combines power and data delivery over a single cable, significantly simplifying installation while lowering total system costs. It supports up to 128 FlexElite nodes across four output ports, each capable of runs up to 305 meters (1,000 feet) in length. This extended range allows for larger installations, providing flexibility and scalability for a wide variety of projects. The device automatically senses line voltages ranging from 100 to 277 VAC, passing the voltage through to connected devices via an AC daisy chain, ensuring seamless integration with other PDS-400 48V CA4 units for large-scale installations.
Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the PDS-400 48V CA4 features clearly labeled terminal block connectors for Ethernet, line voltage, and luminaires, making installation quick and straightforward. A tethered cover with captive screws ensures convenient removal and replacement of the cover, while the narrow housing footprint streamlines cable routing. The unit also features an integrated test button, which allows users to quickly confirm the functionality of connected FlexElite nodes before fully installing the control system. A fixed-color effect is available for use with simple 0-10V control systems, expanding compatibility with existing architectural control solutions.
The PDS-400 48V CA4 also integrates seamlessly with the Color Kinetics Interact Landmark system, enabling users to monitor and manage dynamic architectural lighting and trigger light shows from anywhere, simplifying maintenance and enhancing the user experience. The unit is compatible with a wide range of controllers, including the Color Kinetics Light System Manager, Video System Manager Pro, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColor Keypad, and ColorDial Pro, as well as third-party DMX and Ethernet controllers, providing extensive control flexibility. Additionally, the PDS-400 48V CA4 offers expanded dimming flexibility, allowing FlexElite luminaires to work with almost any architectural 0-10V source for precise light control.
For maximum durability, the PDS-400 48V CA4 is housed in a cast aluminum enclosure with a powder-coated industrial gray matte finish, offering robust protection against environmental conditions. The unit features convection cooling to dissipate heat, ensuring reliable operation in both extreme temperatures and high-demand environments. With an operating temperature range from -40°F to 122°F, and a storage temperature range from -40°F to 176°F, this power and data supply is built to perform reliably in diverse climates and outdoor settings.
