• Connect the IEC power cable to the back of sPDS-60ca 24V. Plug the IEC power cable into a standard 100 – 240 VAC outlet. Tighten the screw to secure the clamp.
  

ADDRESSING THE LIGHTS

When using the DMX control input, you are required to set the base address for sPDS-60ca 24V and configure the lights connected to it.
The base address for the supply will be the starting address for the first light connected to Output 1. You can also group more than one fixture to the same address or reverse the addressing sequence of the fixtures on Output 1.

Setting Base Addresses

1. Press and release the UP or DOWN address buttons to step through the base address. The address numbers 1 through 170 will appear in the display. Press and hold either button to rapidly advance to the desired light number. Stop when the desired base number appears on the display.
   
2. After selecting a base address, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously to enter configuration mode. "CFG" appears in the display.
   
   When entering Configuration mode, sPDS-60ca 24V automatically discovers all lights that are connected and addresses them sequentially, beginning with the base address on the first light on Output 1 through the last light on Output 2. This step ensures that sPDS-60ca 24V correctly identifies all of the lights connected to its outputs.
   After the discovery is complete, two 3-digit numbers are briefly displayed. The first digit indicates the output port and the last two digits denote the number of lights connected to that output. For example, the number 107 represents 7 lights on Output 1, while the number 213 indicates 13 lights on Output 2. If there are no lights attached to an output, the last two digits are 00, as in 200.
   

Grouping Light Addresses

sPDS-60ca 24V allows you to conserve the total number of light addresses in an installation by grouping light fixtures together. When you group light addresses, you can assign multiple lights to the same address. The number of lights per group is limited to the maximum number of lights connected to Output 1. (For example, if you have 10 lights connected to Output 1 and 12 lights connected to Output 2, the maximum group number is 10.)

To set grouping of light addresses:

1. Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously to enter configuration mode. "CFG" appears in the display.
2. When entering Configuration mode, sPDS-60ca 24V automatically discovers all lights that are connected.
3. Use the UP button to set a positive group number (the number of lights per group), according to the following table.

Group Address	How Lights Are Addressed
ALL	ALL lights are assigned the selected Base Address. If you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed as follows: Light #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20 Address: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1... 1 1 1
1	All lights are addressed sequentially, starting with the Base Address. If you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed as follows: Light #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20 Address: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20
2	Every two lights are assigned the same address. For example, if you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed as follows: Light #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20 Address: 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4... 9 10 10
3	Every three lights are assigned the same address. For example, if you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed as follows: Light #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20 Address: 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3... 6 7 7
4 to 20	...

NOTE: It is recommended that you set your group number to a number that evenly divides the number of lights connected to Output 1 and you balance the number of lights on each output. Otherwise, you may have a smaller amount of lights at the end of each output port that would receive the next address.

4. Use the DOWN button to set reverse addressing.
   NOTE: sPDS-60ca 24V allows you to reverse the addressing sequence on Output 1 ONLY.
   Using reverse addressing, the last light on Output 1 receives the Base Address, and then the addresses are assigned sequentially from the last light to the first.
   Reverse addressing is particularly useful if you mount your power supply in the center of a linear feed or if you want to feed an installation that uses multiple power supplies from each side. Use reverse addressing to chase from one end of the light run to the next.

EXAMPLES OF SEQUENTIAL AND REVERSE ADDRESSING
NOTE: Reverse addressing only reverses the addresses on Output 1 of the sPDS-60ca 24V.

Example 1:
When using a Rainbow Wash with sequential addressing (group address set to 1), the light flows from the center (the first light on Output 1) to the last light in Output 1, and then back to the first light on Output 2.
When using a Rainbow Wash with reverse addressing (group address set to -1), the light flows from left to right across all fixtures. The light goes from the last fixture on Ouput 1 to the first fixture on Output 1, and then to the first fixture on Output 2 to the last fixture on Output 2.

Example 2:
Reverse addressing allows you to have a continuous Rainbow Wash when you have an installation fed by more than one power supply. When using sequential addressing on both power supplies, the light flows from the first light on Output 1 of the first power supply to the last light on Output 1 (left to right), and then it flows from the first light on Output 1 of the second power supply to the last light on Output 1 (right to left).
Using reverse addressing on the second power supply allows you to set up the flow from left to right across all fixtures. With this setup, the light flows from the first light on Output 1 of the first power supply to the last light on Output 1, and from the last light on Output 1 of the second power supply to the first light on Output 1.

Use the DOWN button to set a "negative" group number, according to the following table. Set a negative group number to use reverse addressing.

Group Address	How Lights Are Addressed
-1	All lights are addressed sequentially, starting with the Base Address. If you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed as follows: Light #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20 Address: 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13... 3 2 1
-2	Every two lights are assigned the same address. For example, if you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed as follows: Light #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20 Address: 10 10 9 9 8 8 7 7... 2 1 1
-3	Every three lights are assigned the same address. For example, if you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed as follows: Light #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... 18 19 20 Address: 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 5... 1 1 1
-4 to -20	...

NOTE: It is recommended that you set your group number to a number that evenly divides the number of lights connected to Output 1 and you balance the number of lights on each output. Otherwise, you may have a smaller amount of lights at the end of each output port that would receive the next address.
