DIMMING

All fixtures: Dimmable

Switchable fixtures:
Maximum light level for switchable luminaires is controlled by the lumen setting on the switch. These products are capable of being dimmed down to 10% when used with 0-10V dimming controls. The fixture with the lowest switch setting on a circuit sets the maximum output for all other switchable fixtures on that same dimming circuit. Switching luminaires are optimized for use with “sinking” dimming controls (most common in residential and commercial applications). If utilizing switchable luminaires in combination with “sourcing” dimming controls (most common in theatre applications), please ensure that no more than 5 dimming devices totaling more than 10mA source current (typical device is under 2mA) are used on a single dimming circuit.

EMERGENCY OPTION (IE7WCP or IE10WCPHE)

Installation and wiring:

  1. Install fixture per Step-by-Step guide but do not wire.

  2. Connect unswitched power to the unswitched wire (orange/black). Connect switched power to the black wire, white wire to neutral/common, and green to the ground. Refer to the wiring diagram below for reference. Supply wires must meet applicable electrical codes and be rated for a minimum of 90⁰C.
    Note : The Emergency Battery and Driver MUST be on the same branch circuit. The Emergency Battery requires an unswitched A.C. power source of 120 to 277 VAC, 50/60Hz. When used with switched fixtures, the Emergency Battery input must be wired ahead of the switch.

  3. Join the Emergency Battery unit connector and reinstall the Wireway Cover Assembly.

  4. When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on.AcuityBrands CSS Contractor Single Strip LED Luminaire 17

Operation :

Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The Diver operates the LED load as intended. The Emergency Battery is in the standby charging mode. The Test Switch will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The Emergency Battery senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the Emergency Mode. One or multiple LEDs are illuminated, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored, the Emergency Battery switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging.

Testing and Maintenance:
Pressing the Test Switch turns off the light on the Test Switch and forces the unit into emergency mode, interrupting power to the designated Driver. The LED load is now being lit by Emergency Battery. After releasing the Test Switch, the fixture returns to normal operation after a momentary delay. To simulate a “BLACK OUT” use the circuit breaker to turn off A.C. power.
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour charge before conducting a one hour test.
