note
: Serial addressing gives you the option of post-installation addressing
multiple fixtures through a single Data Enabler or multiple Data Enablers
using the recorded serial numbers. Refer to the QuickPlay Pro Addressing
and Configuration Guide.
The iColor Accent Powercore fixtures are pre-addressed to light number
1 at the time of manufacture. Address each fixture with a new light number,
as needed, using QuickPlay Pro.
note
: During setup of a DMX installation, the QuickPlay Pro software
addresses the fixtures using an Ethernet connection between the PC and
the Data Enabler EO.
Download the QuickPlay Pro Addressing and Configuration Software and
instructions from www.colorkinetics.com/support/addressing.

temperature Monitoring
For protection from extreme temperatures, the iColor Accent Powercore has been
designed with a temperature monitoring feature. If operating temperatures rise to
an unsafe level, a compensation circuit is triggered and the iColor Accent Powercore
operation is interrupted causing the lights to turn dull red.
To prevent additional power shut-downs, determine the cause of the overheating and
correct the problem. Power-cycle the system to return to full intensity.
