Installation
Warning! Mounting and installation of the LED fixture may only be executed by
certified service personnel, in accordance with applicable local laws and
regulations.
Warning! The installer is responsible for correct and safe installation.
Warning! Ensure the local cabling can support the voltage and current
requirements of the LED fixture.
Warning! Avoid coiled cords and keep mains leads separated. This prevents
electromagnetic interference.
Warning! Do not connect or disconnect the LED fixture under load.
7.1 Installing the LED fixture
Warning! When mounting, attach the fixture to something that can support
its entire weight.
- Switch off main power.
- Secure the hanging brackets to the fixture (fig. 3).
- Hook the unistrut hanger onto the LED fixture hanging brackets (fig. 4).
- Holding the LED fixture by the unistrut hanger with 2 hands, lift the fixture and place the hanger onto the unistrut as shown in the picture (fig. 5).
- The center of the fixture is located 4-3/16″ from the front of the unistrut hanging bracket (fig. 6).
- Install safety wire (B) as shown in picture (fig. 7).
- If a controller is not being used, make sure the dummy plug is inserted into the “IN” RJ45 communication port (fig. 8).
- Plug the female main power into the LED fixture’s male power input (fig. 9). Align the white arrow on the end of the power connector with the “Closed Lock” symbol on the fixture. Press in until there is a “click” sound.
Make sure power cords:
- Are not concealed or extended through a wall, floor, ceiling, or other parts of the building structures.
- Are not located above a suspended ceiling or dropped ceiling.
- Are not permanently affixed to the building structure.
- Are routed so they are not subject to strain and are protected from physical damage.
- Are visible over their entire length.
- Are used within their rated ampacity as determined for the maximum temperature of the installed environment specified in the instructions.
7.2 Preparation for use with a controller
Using a daisy-chain setup, a maximum of 100 LED fixtures can be connected to
each controller channel. Up to 500 LED fixtures can be connected with the use
of splitters. Refer to Section 7.3.
Using the Fixture:
-
Without a Controller
a. The included dummy plug on the input of the first fixture will ensure continuous operation at 100% output. The plug has
a circuit board embedded which simulates 100% output (fig.10).
Warning! Please do not confuse this with a normal RJ45 terminal.
Warning! Only to be used on the “IN” port of the fixtures. Please do not insert this in any OUT port of a fixture (fig.11).
b. To turn fixtures off, you must rely on line voltage control at this point.
c. You have the option of daisy chaining explained in Section 7.3 or using a dummy plug in each individual fixture. -
With our Controllera. Remove the cable gland assembly.
b. Remove the dummy plug from the Input terminal (save for future use).
c. Refer to Section 7.3 to assemble the water tight cable gland assembly over the Input cable to the first fixture of your continuous chain.
d. For instructions on how to connect to subsequent fixtures, refer to Section 7.3 on Daisy Chaining. -
With a Third Party Controller
a. Follow the same steps as 7.2.2.
b. When connecting to the controller, please refer to Section 7.5.
7.3 Daisy Chain
- Remove the protective cable gland from the RJ45 in port (fig. 13).
- Remove the Dummy Plug (fig. 14).
- Undo the rear nut of the protective cable gland and pull out the rubber seal (fig. 14 & 15).
- Slide cable through the Securing Nut and the gland covering (fig. 16).
- Plug the cable into the RJ45 “IN” port (fig. 17).
- Place the rubber seal on the wire between the securing nut and the gland covering and press it into the protective gland (fig. 17).
- Tighten cable gland onto the RJ45 connector “IN” port (fig. 18).
- Tighten the securing nut onto the gland cover to create a seal (fig. 19).
- Repeat these steps for all ports in the daisy chain.
7.4 Preparation for use with 3rd party Building Communication System
The LED fixture can be used with most analog 0-10v communication systems.
Please contact Hawthorne Technical Support at:
888-808-4826 for more information on
how to integrate the LED fixture into a Building Management System. Ask for
Pro Tech Services.
7.5 Connecting the LED fixture to the mains
Warning! Ensure the cord is not coiled and does not touch any hot
surfaces.
Warning! If external switching gear is used to switch the fixture, ensure
it can cope with the inrush current of the fixture.
Always use a double pole contactor suitable of switching a capacitive load.
Never use household timers to switch the fixture!
- Switch off main power.
- Connect the power cable to the mains. The Gavita® CT 1930e LED 120-240 V power cables connect to a NEMA Receptacle.
