PDC5™

PDC5™

Power-Data Converter Generation 5

PDC5 are Power-Data Converters designed for lighting circuits with a new generation of GVA Lighting’s luminaires of Color-Stream® Product Platform: HL4, STR9-G4, FL-G2 series. PDC5s convert industry standard communication protocols, such as Art-Net 4, sACN, DMX-512A, DALI / DALI 2 or 0~10V from third party control systems into the GVA’s proprietary Color-Stream® (CS) communication protocol. The CS data combines inside PDC5 with the input power for a connection to leader cables.

KEY FEATURES

•   INFINITY® 380V DC or a full range 120~277V AC input/output power options
•   Wide choice in supported incoming communication protocols: Art-Net 4, sACN, DMX-512A, DALI / DALI 2 or 0~10V
•   Standard RJ45 data connections for Ethernet type of communication protocols: Art-Net 4 or sACN
•   Tool-less power and data wire connections for DMX, DALI and 0~10V versions
•   Fiber-optic data connection option for extremely long cable distances from a data source (SFP moduls, LC connector, 155 Mbps) (under development)
•   Enhanced built-in surge protection for output circuits: 6KV/3KA is a standard protection level, with an option to increase it to 10KV/5KA or 20KV/10KA for higher lightning and industrial surge protection
