0-10V DIMMABLE WIRING

Universal voltage driver permits operation at 120V through 277V, 50 or 60 Hz. For 0-10V dimming follow the wiring directions as shown below (Fig. 42).

1. Connect the black fixture lead to the LINE supply lead.

2. Connect the white fixture lead to the COMMON supply lead.

3. Connect the GROUND wire from fixture to supply ground.
   Do NOT connect the GROUND of the dimming fixture to the output.

4. Connect the purple fixture lead to the (V+) DIM lead.

5. Connect the pink fixture lead to the (V-) DIM lead.

6. Cap the yellow fixture lead, if present. Do NOT connect.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Be sure fixture temperature is cool enough to touch. Do not clean or maintain while fixture is energized.

1. Clean lens with non-abrasive glass cleaning solution.
2. Do not open the fixture to clean the LED. Do not touch the LED.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Check that the line voltage at the fixture is correct. Refer to wiring directions.
2. Is the fixture grounded properly?

Note: These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide for every possible situation during installation, operation or maintenance.

BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

WIRING

CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. Voltage can be present in BATTERY. To prevent high voltage from being present on output leads, Inverter connector must be open. Do not join BATTERY connector until installation is complete.

NOTE: Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An UNSWITCHED AC source of power is required. The emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the LED driver. Reference Fig. 43 for wiring diagram.

CAUTION: Do not use any supply voltage other than 120-277V, 50/60 Hz.

1. Connect UNSWITCHED HOT fixture lead to HOT AC supply line.
2. If using an UNSWITCHED circuit, connect UNSWITCHED and SWITCHED lines together.
3. If using a SWITCHED circuit, connect SWITCHED HOT lead to the switch.
4. For 0-10V dimming, connect DIM (+) purple and DIM (-) pink leads to 0-10V dimming connection.
5. All unused leads must be capped and insulated.
6. When power is on, the fixture should be on and the CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT should illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
7. Once the BATTERY has charged for at least one hour, a short duration test may be performed by pressing the Test Button as shown in **Fig. 44.

**

8. After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long duration test can be performed by disconnecting power to the fixture.

OPERATION

1.  When AC power is applied the charging indicator light is illuminated indicating that the BATTERY is being charged.
2. When power fails the standby power automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery) operating at reduced illumination.
3. When AC power is restored the emergency driver automatically returns to charging mode.

MAINTENANCE

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency driver functional, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:

1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated
2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. Fixture would operate at reduced illumination for aminimum of 90 minutes.
   

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Be sure the fixture is grounded properly.
2. If the charging indicator light does not illuminate after pressing and releasing the Test Button (Fig. 44), check power and check if battery is connected properly
