ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS TEMPERATURE RANGE 40 F to 122 F 40 C to 50 C operating temperature A F to 122 F 20 C to 50 C starting temperature LED SOURCE LIFE n traditional lamp sources lifetime is defined as the point at which 50 of the lamps fail This is also termed Mean Time Between Failure MTBF LEDs are semiconductor devices and have a much longer MTBF than conventional sources However MTBF is not the only consideration in determining useful ife Color Kinetics uses the concept of useful light output for rating source lifetimes Like traditional sources LED output degrades over time lumen depreciation and this is the metric for SSL lifetime LED lumen depreciation is affected by numerous environmental conditions such as ambient tempera ture humidity and ventilation Lumen depreciation is also affected by means of control thermal management current levels and a host of other electrical design considerations Color Kinetics systems are expertly engineered to optimize LED life when used under normal operating conditions Lumen depreciation information is based on LED manufacturers source life data as well as other third party testing Low temperatures and controlled effects have a beneficial effect on lumen depreciation Overall system lifetime could vary substantially based on usage and the environment in which the system is installed lemperature and effects will affect lifetime Color Kinetics rates prod2. For protection from extreme temperatures ColorBlast 12 TR has been designed with a temperature monitoring feature If operating temperatures rise to an unsafe level a compensation circuit is trig gered and the ColorBlast 12 TR operation is interrupted causing the lights to turn dull red After 30 minutes the lights will auto cycle To prevent additional power shut downs determine the cause of the overheating and correct the problem If any problems occur during usage unplug the product immediately and call Color Kinetics Technical Support Group 1 888 FULL RGB or 617 423 9999 or email us technicalsupport colorkinetics com COLORBLAST 12 TR SPECIFICATIONS COLOR RANGE 16 7 million 24 bit additive RGB colors continuously variable intensity output range SOURCE High intensity power light emitting diodes LEDs BEAM ANGLE 23 beam angle frosted 10 clear HOUSING Die Cast Aluminum black PROTECTIVE COVER TPV Elastomer black LENS Soft focus tempered glass or clear tempered glass CONNECTORS 6foot 1 83cm Unified power and data cable with A pin XLR connector LISTINGS UL cUL CE COMMUNICATION SPECIFICATIONS DATA INTERFACE Color Kinetics data interface system CONTROL Color Kinetics controllers or other DMX512 RS485 compatible if using Color Kinetics power data supply ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS POWER REQUIREMENT 24VDC POWER CONSUMPTION 50W Max at full intensity full RGB POWER SUPPLY PDS 750TR ITEM 109 00001 9 00
