OVERVIEW

To ensure proper installation, read through the entire Installation Instructions prior to beginning the installation.

Philips LINCSŠ are designed for modular plug-together connection. The first unit may be hard-wired with the provided hardware or plugged-in for portable installation using optional cordsets. Additional units simply plug into the first. Optional interconnect cords electrically continue a run of LINCSŠ around corners or over gaps. An optional wiring module can decrease installation time by eliminating the need to open fixture wireways.

WIRING MODULE

A. INITIAL FIXTURE MOUNTING PROCEDURE
The Philips LINCSŠ fixtures are designed to be individually mounted or row mounted by plugging into one another. The connection to AC power can be hard- wired or plugged in with an optional AC power cord. Use the following procedure to mount Philips LINCSŠ 100L fixtures.

Determine where the fixture(s) will be mounted.
Ensure that there is adequate room for the depth of the fixtures, and adequate clearance at the back and/or ends of the fixture for the electrical feed and/or optional interconnect cord(s). For each end cap cover allow 7/16″ clearance, and when row mounting in a confined space, allow 1″ for joining the last unit.
NOTE: If multiple fixtures are to be mounted together, they must be mounted in a straight line. otherwise, electrical contact between units may not be properly made, and fixtures may fail to operate correctly.
Draw a straight line indicating the position for the back edge of all the fixtures to be mounted.
Lift the first fixture (or optional wiring module) into place so its rear edge aligns with the line drawn in step 3. Make sure it is in the exact position.
When the fixture is positioned correctly, use the mounting ears as templates and secure the fixture with #6 x 1/2” flathead screws.
If the fixture is to be hard-wired, refer to Section C (Electrical Connection – Hard-wired Units) before mounting any additional units. Follow that procedure before performing steps 7 and 8 for each subsequent fixture.
Lift each additional fixture (or optional wiring module) into place so its rear edge aligns the line drawn in step 3, and the Molex connector engages securely with that of the previously mounted unit. The mounting ears on the mating ends slips between the mounting surface and the previously mounted unit.
Use mounting ears on the opposite end and secure the fixture at that end using #6 x 1/2” flat-head screws.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each additional fixture to be mounted. Ensure that the last fixture has an end cap cover installed over the unused connector. Place the end cap cover locking clip in position and secure with the #6-20 x3/16″ self-tapping screw.

B. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION – UNIT WITH CORDSET

Connect the AC cord into the left end of the fixture(s) using hardware supplied with cord set kit. Cover the other end with an end cap cover. Place the end cap cover locking clip in position and secure with the #6-20 x 3/16″ self tapping screw.
Plug the AC cord into a grounded, 120V, 60 Hz receptacle.
Test the fixture(s).
Install diffuser on each fixture

C. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION- HARD-WIRING

NOTE: If using optional wiring module, follow instructions provided.

NOTE: The incoming electrical feed may be connected at the rear of the fixture or on the left side (receptacle side) of the fixture.

If the electrical feed is on the left side (receptacle side) of the fixture, proceed to step 2. If the electrical feed is to the rear, refer to Figure 2 and perform the following:
NOTE: If the left side is not being interconnected to another fixture, cover end with an end cap cover along with an end cap locking clip and secure with #6-20 x 3/16″ self-tapping screw.
a. Remove the access plate from the back of the fixture housing by loosening the screw that secures it. (Figure 2).

b. Install the supplied FMC/Romex strain-relief connector on the access plate with ring nut.
c. Secure the proper length of power supply wiring into the strain-relief connector.
d. Strip 3/8″ from each of the supply wires and connect the ground to the green fixture wire, the common to the white fixture wire, and the hot to the black fixture wire. Make sure the wire strands or uninsulated conductor lengths are left exposed.
e. Neatly place the wires back in the fixture. Insert the lip of the plate in the opening in the fixture and slip the keyhole in the plate over the head of the screw. Slide the plate into position, and tighten the screw to secure the plate.
f. Proceed to Step 11
Remove the diffuser by grabbing the lip on the diffuser at one end of the fixture and pulling it down and away from the fixture.
Open the wireway cover by removing the screws threaded through the LED tray. See Figure 4. Carefully pivot the wireway cover down until it hangs from its rear hinge.
If the electrical feed is being made on the left side of the fixture, the receptacle Molex connector will need to be removed from the plastic end cap. Squeeze the fasteners on each side of the connector and push the receptacle Molex connector into the housing. Place the metal hardware plate in place into the end of the plastic end cap. See Figure 3. If making electrical feed from the left side (receptacle side), the rear access plate must be secured in place.
Insert the threaded portion of the FMC/Romex connector through the clearance hole on the metal hardware plate. Working from the interior wireway compartment, seat first the metal washer and then the ring terminal on the ground wire onto the connectors threads. Secure this assembly to the fixtures endcap with the ring nut.
Using the FMC/Romex connector supplied, secure the proper length power supply wiring to the housing.
Connect the power supply wiring as shown in Figure 5. Connect the AC feed to the three pigtails provided between the two Molex connectors in the diagram. Be sure wirenuts are secure and no strands of wire are left exposed.
Make sure the fixture is properly grounded. Use the green pigtail provided for this purpose.
Reposition the wires neatly in the wireway and close the wireway cover. Make sure wires are not caught under the wireway cover. Re-install the two screws in the LED tray to secure wireway cover.
Reinstall the diffuser by first hooking the edgeof the diffuser into the front edge and then, starting at one end, push the lipped edge into the channel. Continue down the length of the diffuser until it is fully seated onto the fixture.
If mounting a single fixture, test it now.
