output, submersible LED flood fixtures offer IP68* submersible properties thanks to their 316 marine grade stainless steel housings and fully sealed joints. There are three sizes of fixture: • Aqua Drum EO with 8 LED emitters • Aqua Drum SO with 18 LED emitters • Aqua Drum HO with 36 LED emitters With a comprehensive choice of emitter types: • 2700K, 3000K, 3500K or 4000K white • RGBW • RGBA And an appropriate range of lens options: • 10O x 10O • 25O x 25O • 40O x 40O • 10O x 35O The accompanying Aqua Driver 150 controller operates from mains inputs ranging from 100 to 277VAC, 50/60Hz (autosensing) and provides constant current PWM drive to four output ports. The Aqua Driver 150 can either operate independently to provide static dimming or multiple chases, or can accept a DMX input for inclusion into an external control system. The Aqua Driver 150 is housed within a black power-coated steel enclosure with an IP20 rating for dry indoor locations. The unit is designed to be wall mounted. SAFETY • Ensure the power input is supplied from a correctly fused, earthed and environmentally protected location. • While Aqua Drum fixtures are rated to IP68* for submersible operation, the Aqua Driver 150 unit has an IP20 rating, for dry location installations only. * IP68 protection: ETL approval limits submersible installation to non-human occupied and freshwater locations only. All cables must be landed in environmentally suitable junction boxes.

The Aqua Driver 150 can be wall mounted either vertically or horizontally as required. Two slotted holes (Ø 0.23” x 0.47” / Ø 6 x 12mm) are available on each side for mounting purposes - see “Dimensions” on page 19. CONTROL INPUT CONNECTIONS The Aqua Driver 150 can either operate in a standalone manner or be controlled by DMX; IN and OUT ports are located on the front panel. Each port provides both a 3-pin terminal block plus a 3-pin XLR socket. See below for useful DMX tips. Connect your DMX cables to the terminal blocks as shown here: TIPS FOR ACHIEVING SUCCESSFUL DMX CONTROL • Do not exceed a total cable length of 3,900 ft (1200m) without buffering. • Do not exceed a total of 32 devices/fixtures on a single line without buffering. • Use only connection cables with a characteristic impedance of 120Ω, preferably where the DMX + and DMX – data lines are twisted around each other and the ground link exists as a coaxial screen surrounding the inner cores, such as Belden® 9842 or equivalent. • Connect a 120Ω terminating resistor between the DMX + and DMX – output connections of the final fixture. • Do not introduce a passive Y-split into the control cabling. If it is necessary to split the control link in order feed fixtures located in different directions, use a powered DMX splitter/buffer. • Ensure that the DMX + and DMX – connections do not become crossed at any point. DMX OUT 2 3 1 DMX IN 2 3 1 1 2 3 Insert the terminal block into the DMX socket and ensure that it fully clicks into place. Repeat for the DMX OUT if the control signal needs to be fed to another device.

The optional Acclaim Lighting Aria units allow you create a wireless DMX link up to 2600 feet (792m) line of sight, between your control output and the Aqua Driver. Setup and configuration is straightforward: 1 Connect the DMX output of one Aria unit to the DMX input (using either the terminal block or the XLR connector) of the Aqua Driver. 2 Connect your DMX control source to the DMX input of the other Aria unit (when a valid signal is sensed, the Aria unit will automatically configure itself as a transmitter). 3 Ensure both Aria units are using the same radio channel. The DMX signal presented at the transmitter will be replicated at the receiver and be fed to the Aqua Driver. See the Aria Wireless DMX guide for more details. CONVERTING A 0-10V INPUT The optional Acclaim Lighting UDM (Universal Dimming Module) unit allows you to collectively control a group of Aqua Drum fixtures using a 0-10V analog input. Setup and configuration is straightforward: 1 Connect the DMX output of the UDM unit to the DMX input (using either the terminal block or the XLR connector) of the Aqua Driver. 2 Connect your 0-10V control source to the appropriate input of the UDM unit. 3 Configure the UDM to perform the conversion. Note: The UDM also has a mains power supply pass through to which the Aqua Driver can be connected; thus, only one mains input is required to supply the two devices. The 0-10V signal presented at the UDM will be converted into a single DMX channel and fed to the Aqua Driver; the Aqua Driver will need to be placed into 1 Group mode. The single channel input best suits Aqua Drum White emitters. See the UDM guide for more details. Power connections not shown Power connections not shown Aqua Driver 150

which uses an 8-pin terminal block. Each output port provides multiple channels, the addressing of which are decided by the front panel switch settings (see “Aqua Driver 150 mode control” on page 11). PORT CONNECTION CABLES Each Aqua Drum fixture is supplied with a 100’ (30m) cable terminated in an 8-pin terminal connector. In situations where this supplied cable is shortened and then wired into a separate supply cable, ensure the conductors of the supply cable are of sufficient size and that the total cable length (including that which remains of the Aqua Drum cable) is not exceeded: Conductor size Maximum length (including Aqua Drum cable) • 18 AWG (0.823mm2) Up to 100’ (30m) • 14 AWG (2.081mm2) Up to 125’ (38m) • 12 AWG (3.309mm2) Up to 150’ (45m)

The Aqua Driver 150 has four output ports to which varying numbers of Aqua Drum fixtures can be connected. Aqua Drum EO and SO fixtures require one port per fixture, whereas the larger Aqua Drum HO fixtures require two ports. See also “Port grouping” on page 8. FOUR AQUA DRUM EO AND/OR SO FIXTURES Four EO and/or SO fixtures can be mixed as required. Any of the port grouping options (1 Group, 2 Group or 4 Group) are appropriate for this mix of fixtures. ONE AQUA DRUM HO AND TWO EO/SO FIXTURES One Aqua Drum HO will require two ports; the remaining two ports are then free to accommodate two EO/SO fixtures. The 1 Group and 2 Group options are most appropriate. 4 Group is useable (if the EO/SO units need to be addressed individually), however, this will mean that the HO fixture will require dual sets of DMX channels to control all of its emitters. TWO AQUA DRUM HO FIXTURES Two Aqua Drum HO fixtures will require two ports each. The 1 Group and 2 Group port options are most appropriate.

in either pairs, or grouped all as one control block. The grouping status is determined by switches 1 and 2 of the smaller switch block (see page 11). Aqua Drum HO fixtures require two ports in order to feed all of their emitters, in which case ports will need to be grouped whenever HO fixtures are used. Note: The various operation mode settings (configured using the small switch block) affect only the logical control elements within the Aqua Driver 150 - the electrical output characteristics of each port remain the same regardless of which mode is chosen. Therefore, it will not cause any damage to an Aqua Drum if an incorrect setting is chosen; for example, using an RGBW setting when a 3000K White Aqua Drum is attached. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 4 Group All four ports are controlled individually: 2 Group Ports 1 and 2 are controlled together as one group.

The number of DMX channels required to control the connected fixtures depends upon the following settings, which are configured using the small switch block: • Port grouping, and • Fixture type The various DMX channel requirements for the various port grouping and fixture type combinations are listed here: DMX RGBW/A RGBW/A RGBW/A address 4 Group 2 Group 1 Group 1 Port 1: Red Ports 1 & 2: Red All: Red 2 Port 1: Green Ports 1 & 2: Green All: Green 3 Port 1: Blue Ports 1 & 2: Blue All: Blue 4 Port 1: White Ports 1 & 2: White All: White 5 Port 2: Red Ports 3 & 4: Red 6 Port 2: Green Ports 3 & 4: Green 7 Port 2: Blue Ports 3 & 4: Blue 8 Port 2: White Ports 3 & 4: White 9 Port 3: Red 10 Port 3: Green 11 Port 3: Blue 12 Port 3: White 13 Port 4: Red 14 Port 4: Green 15 Port 4: Blue 16 Port 4: White DMX White White White address 4 Group 2 Group 1 Group 1 Port 1: White Ports 1 & 2: White All: White 2 Port 2: White Ports 3 & 4: White 3 Port 3: White 4 Port 4: White See “Port grouping” on page 8 and “External DMX control mode” on page 11 for DMX address configuration details.

international installations, wire according to local codes. Power cord colors The red front panel indicator will illuminate when power is applied. The other two indicators located just below the power indicator are not used. IN-RUSH CURRENT The Aqua Driver 150 uses a switched mode power supply which exhibits a trait known as ‘in-rush current’ when they are first powered on. This is caused by the various capacitive components initially topping themselves up with power. The in-rush current period lasts only milliseconds, however, if you are using multiple units on a single supply, ensure that the breakers used are rated to support inrush currents without tripping during startup. The Aqua Driver 150 power requirements are as follows: • Voltage: 100-277VAC 50/60Hz

8 DMX address 4 2 1 ON AQUA DRIVER 150 MODE CONTROL The manner in which the four output ports are grouped and operate is determined by the settings of the two switch blocks located on the front panel (Note: all switch settings can be changed when the driver is off or on). There are three main ways to use the Aqua Driver 150: • External DMX control mode • Standalone mode using internal chase programs • Standalone mode using adjustable static dimming EXTERNAL DMX CONTROL MODE To allow DMX control you need to: 1 Set switch 10 of the large switch block ON to choose DMX mode. 2 Select the required DMX base address using switches 1 to 9 of the large switch block. Each of the nine switches is ‘weighted’ with a value as shown here. Numerous apps are available to assist you with configuring the correct switch combinations for a given DMX address. Note: The total number of DMX channels required for control will depend upon the chosen port grouping and fixture types (see “DMX channel layouts” on page 9). Fixture type 6 3 5 2 4 1 ON Port grouping 6 3 5 2 4 1 ON 3 Use switches 1 and 2 of the small switch block to choose the required grouping of channel outputs as required by the Aqua Drums being connected and their required functions. 1 2 Port grouping OFF OFF 1 combined group of four ports ON OFF 2 groups of two ports OFF ON 4 separate ports ON ON 4 separate ports See “Port grouping” on page 8 for more details. 4 Use switches 4 and 5 of the small switch block to set the type of Aqua Drum fixtures being used: 4 5 Fixture type ON OFF White ON ON RGBW/A Note: The chosen fixture type (RGBW/A or White) is applied globally to all ports. However, the electrical characteristics of the ports do not change (only their logical addressing configuration), so it is possible to mix white fixtures into an RGBW set up. As such, the various white emitters of the fixture would respond individually to the separate RGBW channel addresses.

9 6 8 10 7 ON STANDALONE MODE USING INTERNAL CHASE PROGRAMS In standalone mode, all four ports are treated as one group. Note: all switch settings can be changed when the driver is off or on. To configure the Aqua Driver 150 for standalone chase mode you need to: 1 On the large switch block, set switch 10 OFF to choose standalone mode. Fade time 3 2 4 1 Program 9 6 8 10 7 ON Speed 6 3 5 7 4 2 Use switches 1 to 3 of the large switch block to choose the required fade time between chase steps. If all three switches are OFF, the chase states will snap between each other. All three switches ON will produce the smoothest fade (Note: switch 3 is weighted as the most significant bit). 3 Use switches 4 to 6 of the large switch block to choose the required speed of chase. If all three switches are OFF, the chase will run at its fastest speed, with 0.1 seconds between steps. 4 5 6 Speed OFF OFF OFF 0.1 seconds ON OFF OFF 0.2 seconds OFF ON OFF 0.5 seconds ON ON OFF 1 second OFF OFF ON 5 seconds ON OFF ON 10 seconds OFF ON ON 20 seconds ON ON ON 30 seconds 4 Use switches 7 to 9 of the large switch block to choose the required program. If all three switches are ON, an Auto mode will cycle between all of the available programs.

9 6 8 10 7 ON STANDALONE MODE USING ADJUSTABLE STATIC DIMMING In standalone mode, all four ports are treated as one group. Note: all switch settings can be changed when the driver is off or on. To configure the Aqua Driver 150 for standalone static dimming you need to: 1 On the large switch block, set switch 10 OFF to choose standalone mode. 2 On the small switch block, set switch 6 ON to choose manual dimming mode. Manual dimming mode: ON 6 3 5 2 4 1 ON 1 On the large switch block, use switches 1 to 8 to choose the dimming level (for all emitters of every connected Aqua Drum fixture). When all eight switches are OFF, the fixtures will be at 0%; conversely, all switches ON will produce 100% output. The switches are arranged as a binary byte, with switch 1 as the least significant bit and switch 8 as the most significant. 9 6 3 8 5 2 10 7 4 1 MSB • • • • Dimming level • • LSB ON

front plate attached Plastic sleeve GROUND INSTALLATION Use an optional In-grade housing kit when installing an Aqua Drum in-ground; three sizes of sleeve kit are available to fit the various Aqua Drum models. Each kit consists of a durable plastic sleeve, a replacement die cast trim ring for the fixture, plus four screws. GROUND INSTALLATION OVERVIEW 1 Where necessary, ensure power to the installation site has been fully isolated. 2 Ensure the installation area has suitable drainage to prevent the well from accumulating water. The base should be formed from permeable stone/gravel plus the use of a French Drain is recommended in clay soils: 3 Install suitable cabling from the Aqua Driver controller to the well via Waterproof Conduit and use a waterproof Junction Box at the base of the well. Note: Between six and twelve conductors (see “Port connection cables” on page 5 for appropriate wire gauges) will be required, depending on the model of Aqua Drum being used. 4 Insert the plastic sleeve and pour the concrete so that the top level of the sleeve is within 0.8” (20mm) above grade in order to promote water run-off on the finished ground surface. 5 Prepare the Aqua Drum for insertion - see “Preparing the Aqua Drum for ground installation” on page 16 for details. 6 Carefully shorten the fixed Aqua Drum cable and connect it to the supply circuit(s) within the waterproof junction box - see “Connector pin outs” on page 7. 7 Place the Aqua Drum into the well and secure it using the supplied four screws. The supplied screws require a TA2.3mm triangular driver (to assist with tamper resistance).

1 On the underside of the Aqua Drum fixture, use a 1/8” (2.5mm) Allen wrench to remove the four (six on HO models) bolts which secure the front ring: Remove the standard front ring Four (or six) x 1/8” (2.5mm) hex head bolts Fit the new trim ring 2 Replace the front ring with the trim ring supplied with the optional In-grade housing kit. Use the four (six) bolts removed earlier to secure it: 3 Arrange the yoke of the fixture so that it stands perpendicular to the front face.

5 Lower the Aqua Drum fixture into the well and align the four countersunk screw holes with the pilot holes in the top lip of the plastic sleeve: 6 Insert the four supplied screws and use a TA2.3mm triangular driver to tighten them.
