Recessed LED Lighting Fixtures
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THE FIXTURE:
This fixture is intended for installation in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local regulations. To assure full compliance with local
codes and regulations, check with your local electrical inspector before
installation.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible electric shock, be sure that the remote DC panel is turned
off before installing or servicing this product.
These fixtures are not designed for direct contact with insulation. Keep insulation at least 3 inches away from any fixture surface which will entrap heat. The maximum ambient temperature of the fixture is 45°C (113°F). Use in higher temperatures will damage the unit and void the warranty. Use only with a Class 2 power unit. Not for direct connection to AC.
Notice:
Thermally protected fixture. Blinking light may indicate that the insulation
is too close to the fixture. Suitable for use in damp locations. Note: This
fixture should be supported by main runners or other structure that is capable
of supporting the fixture weight.
Installation
For Proper Adjustability of the lamp, the fixture MUST be positioned only as shown in Figure 2.
- Unpack hanger brackets and mounting hardware. Insert #10 square shoulder carriage bolt through a square cutout in the mounting bracket and align the mounting bracket tab and carriage bolt with a slot in the housing. Secure into position with #10 wing nut from inside of the housing. (See Figure 1).
- Insert hanger bars (supplied), into the fixture’s hanger brackets using the properly provided cutout in the hanger brackets. When using the C Channel bars, squeezing the hanger brackets may be required to slide the C Channel into position in the hanger brackets.
- Loosen the bracket wing nuts from the inside of the fixture, and adjust the hanger bar end brackets, so that the lower lip of the fixture flange will be flush, or 1/8” (max) above the bottom of the ceiling surface. (See Figure 2).
Wiring
- Pull low-voltage power feed wires from the remote LED driver to the wall box to make wiring connections. Leave at least 6” of slack. Fixtures require a “home run” connection to the remote driver, and are not to be wired in parallel (Daisy-chained). The rated voltage and current on the remote driver must agree with the fixture ratings on the product label. Refer to “Typical Wiring / Driver Considerations “ (page 2) for more detailed information
- Make connections according to “Low Voltage DC Input Wiring”, below.
COMPLETION:
Energize remote driver panel. The fixture will illuminate immediately.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the unit fails to function as described, disconnect the remote driver panel
immediately, and contact either the factory or trained service personnel, for
further assistance.
Low voltage DC input wiring
Use supplied wire splicing connector or orange inline connector to terminate red and black or blue wires from the product to incoming wires from the centralized remote class 2 constant current driver. Leave enough slack so connections can be dropped a minimum of 6” through the fixture opening.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The red wire is always the positive polarity connection. Negative is blue
or black.
Wiring/Driver Considerations
Remote LED Driver:
Note that the remote LED driver must be a Class 2 UL/ETL listed constant
current driver designed for LED drive. The current and voltage ratings for the
driver must be in accordance with the corresponding ratings specified on the
fixture label. For additional details refer to the user manual for the remote
LED driver being used. Due to the wide variety of potential remote LED
drivers, the requirements stated in the separate user manual for the remote
driver take precedence over those stated in these instructions.
ONLY CONSTANT CURRENT DRIVERS CAN BE USED—CONSTANT VOLTAGE DC POWER SUPPLIES
CANNOT BE USED AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LIGHT FIXTURE.
Wiring Between Remote LED Constant Current Driver and LED Fixture:
The maximum wire run distance between the remote constant current driver and
the fixture is typically 200 ft. The maximum run distance provided in the
detailed instructions included with the particular driver used in the
installation takes precedence over the 200 ft limit. For the Low Voltage Cable
type use, 2 conductors 18 AWG shielded twisted pair. (Belden 8760 or Belden
87760 (plenum rated) or equivalent). Use plenum-rated cable where installation
requirements necessitate its use.
Pathway remote Driver Wiring. For Reference Only!
(Wiring Between Dimming Controller and Remote LED Constant Current Driver)
- Analog 0-10V dimming control (if applicable) — use 2 conductors 18 AWG for runs up to 500 ft. In a noisy electrical environment or for distances greater than 500 ft. use 2 conductor 18 AWG shielded twisted pair. Belden 8760 or Belden 87760 (plenum rated) or equivalent.
- DMX Dimming Control (if applicable) — Use DMX cable meeting EIA485 requirements. The cable should be twisted pair and shielded. A twisted pair of CAT 5/5E/6 cables may be used as an alternative. The typical maximum cable length between the DMX controller and the remote driver is 1000 ft. For DMX cable runs longer than 1000 ft., the use of a DMX signal amplifier/repeater may be required. Refer to the remote driver’s detailed installation instructions for additional information on DMX control and addressing and additional wiring details. These detailed instructions take precedence over the general guidelines specified herein.
For other manufacturers, remote drive power units refer to manufacturers’ specific wiring instructions.
Lamp Adjustment
To adjust the lamp position, loosen the two adjustment knobs and slide the assembly to the desired angle or until the bottom of the primary optic reflector is parallel with the floor. The maximum tilt angle is 45°. (See Figure 2). Energize fixture, and adjust lamp and yoke assemblies to final tilt positions. Tighten the two adjustment knobs to lock the lamp position.
Install Trim Assembly
- To install lower trim assembly, align shallow cut of reflector towards ceiling peak. Squeeze the 2 ends of each torsion spring together and engage the two torsion springs into the slots on both sides of the frame opening in the housing. Slide trim up and fully seat against ceiling surface. (Figure 3 )
- Clean the reflector surface with a soft towel and glass cleaner, if necessary, to prevent scratching of the polished aluminum surface.
