LEDALITE RC – TM Architectural Linear
Module Lengths
TruGroove suspended, surface and wall micro versions are available in the
lengths listed on the right.
Dimensions here are overall length, not including endcaps.
Endcaps
Overall row lengths do not include endcaps. Add two endcaps to the overall
length of each row.
Row configurations
The nominal 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6 and 8ft modules can be combined to
create continuous rows of various lengths in 6in increments. There may be
multiple ways to make up a specific row length. Modules can be combined in any
order; use the following guidelines to optimize your row configuration:
To optimize a row for best price
Build the row with mostly longer module lengths. See example below
:
To
optimize a row for best aesthetic appearance
Use modules in a pattern to ensure mounting points are symmetric in the run.
See example below:
To
optimize a row for installation condition
Choose modules lengths that allow mounting points to avoid obstacles such as
sprinkler heads & HVAC vents. See example below:
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local
building and electrical codes.
Lens Only Module Lengths
TruGroove suspended, surface and wall micro versions with lenses only are
available in the lengths listed on the right.*
Louver
Only Module Lengths
TruGroove suspended, surface and wall micro versions with louvers only are
available in the lengths listed on the right.*
Lens/Louver Combo Lengths
TruGroove suspended, surface and wall micro versions with combination lens and
louver are available in the lengths ≥ 4ft as listed on the right.*
- Louver length: 6in or 1ft
- Louver position: one end or both ends
Lens Module Lengths with Sensor
TruGroove suspended, surface and wall micro versions with lens and sensors are
available in the lengths listed on the right. Suspended and surface fixtures
can be rotated 180˚. Wall fixtures are mounted on the wall, with sensors
placed on the left end.*
Louver Module Lengths with Sensor
TruGroove suspended, surface and wall micro versions are available with
louvers and sensors in the lengths listed on the right. Suspended and surface
fixtures can be rotated 180˚. Wall fixtures are mounted on the wall, with
sensors placed on the left end.
Dimensions are overall fixture lengths, not including endcaps.
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
Suspended Mount Spacing
Suspended sling mount brackets attach at run ends and joints. For on-grid
T-bar ceiling installations, mounts attach directly to T-Bar. Mounting options
are available for off-grid T-bar installations, non-accessible ceilings and a
wide variety of other ceiling types.
Surface Mount Spacing
Surface mounting studs should be located close to ends of modules within range
specified below.
Wall
Mount Spacing
Variable wall mount brackets can be positioned within 12” of module end or
joint. Maximum distance between wall mounts is 48”.
Power Feed
Power for the entire row can be placed at either end or any joint. See
examples below.
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local
building and electrical codes.
Battery Pack (BP)
Select modules are available with an optional Battery Pack which will power
the entire length of a module.
Suspended & Wall: Direct/Indirect or Indirect/Direct – BP Availability
Module lengths of ≥ 6ft are available with an optional Battery Pack which will
power the entire length of the direct hemisphere.
Suspended, Surface & Wall: Direct – BP Availability
Module lengths of ≥ 4ft are available with an optional Battery Pack which will
power the entire length of the direct hemisphere.
Suspended & Wall: Indirect – BP Availability
Module lengths of ≥4ft are available with an optional Battery Pack which will
power the entire length of the indirect hemisphere.
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local
building and electrical codes.
Sensors 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 one sensor; confirm fixture driver count with factory.
Multiple Sensors Controlling Separate Zones in a Row
- A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to one sensor; confirm fixture driver count with factory.
-
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, sensors should be placed a minimum distance of 8ft apart.
- Wireless sensors should be placed no further than 40ft apart for good wireless signal connection.
Important Consideration When Using Sensors in a Row
-
For fixtures with wireless sensors (CS, SB or RA options):
DO NOT connect fixture purple & 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 sensor may be used, note the same wiring rules will apply.
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
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 reflection 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 between 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 movement (person moving ≤3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
- Major movement (person moving ≥3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
Photosensor spatial response
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
