Installation Instructions
System Overview
These instructions review how to install TruGroove Perimeter fixtures. Modules can be installed as individual standalone units, or they can be joined together to create continuous runs. The graphics below show the components required to install a typical run of TruGroove Perimeter fixtures. IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before beginning installation.
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
Ceiling Preparation/Framing Requirements
Typical commercial ceiling framing components are shown in the diagram above.
Refer to layout drawings or row configuration documents for module or run
lengths. Refer to page 4 for required framing opening. NOTE: Above finished
floor dimension (AFF) is required and used for framing and wall rail
installation reference.
IMPORTANT: For framing module ends, add 1/4” to run or module length at
each end.
IMPORTANT: Deep channel track (by others) must be installed and framed to
required opening shown on page 4.
IMPORTANT: These instructions cover ceiling drywall thickness of 1/2” –
5/8”.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Sensor in Rows
Single Sensor Controlling Whole Row
-
Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST be connected between fixtures.
Note :- A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to 8 sensors; confirm fixture driver count with factory. Multiple Sensors Controlling Separates Zones in a Row
-
Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST NOT be connected between zones.
Notes :- A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to one sensor; confirm fixture driver count with factory.
- Only one sensor is allowed on a wired zone. (Sensors can be paired together wirelessly via a mobile app).
Sensor Spacing
- For correct operation, sensor should be placed a minimum distance of 8ft apart.
- Wireless sensor should be placed no further than 40ft apart for good wireless signal connection.
Important Consideration When Using Sensor in a Row
-
For fixtures with wireless sensors (CS, SB or RA options):
DO NOT connect fixture purple and brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires to an external dimming switch.
Fixture mains wiring should not be connected to a circuit with an external on/off switch. -
For best aesthetic condition, place sensors at ends of row only so as not to break the continuous lens.
-
For better occupancy coverage in longer rows, sensors may be placed mid run, but keep in mind this will break the continuous lens into discrete sections. Alternatively, remote sensors may be used, note the same wiring rules will apply.
Occupancy Sensor Coverage
Note: Longer dimension of detection area (Y1, Y2) is parallel to longer dimension of the luminaire.
Daylight Sensor
The light sensor measures the total amount of light in a circular field of
approximately 80% of the PIR detection area.
The following aspects should be observed during installation:
- Minimum distance from the window ≥ 2ft (0.6m).
- Prevent light reflections from outside entering the sensor (for example sunlight re-flection on a car hood) as this will lead to incorrect light regulation.
As a guideline the formula 0.72 X H can be used to calculate the minimum distance be-tween the window and sensor whereby H is the height from the bottom of the window to the sensor.
The detection area for the movement sensor can be roughly divided into two parts;
- Minor movements (person moving ≤ 3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
- Major movements (person moving ≥ 3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
Photosensor spatial response
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
