Prepare for the Installation
Owner / User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to
install, maintain, and operate the iPlayer 3 controller in such a manner as to comply
with all applicable codes, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult
with an appropriate electrical inspector to ensure compliance.
Create a Lighting Design Plan and Mapping Grid
• Create a lighting design plan that species the appropriate location of each
Data Enabler Pro or power / data supply in relation to the xtures, and xtures
in relation to each other.
• On an architectural diagram or other diagram that shows the physical layout of
the installation, identify the locations of all switches, controllers, power / data
supplies, leader and jumper cables, and xtures.
• Select a convenient but unobtrusive location for mounting the iPlayer 3 that will
be accessible to a computer via USB connection. If also installing external show
selection switches such as Controller Keypad or AuxBox, mount the iPlayer 3 in
a location accessible to the maximum serial cable length of 50 ft (15.2 m).
• Verify that the iPlayer 3 mounting location meets environmental specications for
operating temperature range and maximum relative humidity (see page 4).
• Each Philips xture comes pre-programmed with a unique serial number. As
you unpack the xtures, record the serial numbers in a mapping grid (typically a
spreadsheet or list) for easy referencing and addressing. You can address xtures
using an addressing tool, such as iPlayer 3 itself, or in conjunction with a software
tool, such as QuickPlay Pro.
• Assign each xture to a position in the lighting design plan.
Start the Installation
1. Install all data enablers or power supplies and xtures, including any interfaces
with controllers. If your installation calls for jumper cables to add space between
xtures, make sure they are available.
2. If necessary, ad dress your xtures using an addressing tool, such as QuickPlay Pro.
3. Ensure that all additional parts, including mounting hardware and tools,
are available.
