Module Lengths
BoldPlay suspended systems come in 4ft and 8ft modules. Overall module lengths are shown below.
Module lengths do not include endcaps. Endcaps
Add two endcaps to the length of each run.

Mount Spacing
For on-grid T-bar ceiling installations, mounts attach directly to Tee. For non-accessible ceilings and off-grid T-bar installations, the graphic below indicates mount spacing for typical row lengths. Mounting options are also available for a wide variety of other ceiling types. See Suspended Mounting Options document for more detailed information.
Row Configurations
The tables below indicate how 4ft and 8ft modules can be combined to create continuous rows of various lengths.

*Overall row lengths provided do not include endcaps. Add two endcaps to the overall length of each row.

1. Prepare fixtures / install ceiling mounting components
   Arrange boxed fixtures on floor in specified mounting locations; remove fixtures from boxes. Install all ceiling mounting components and vertical aircraft cables using separate installation instructions for Aircraft Cable Mounting (supplied).
   NOTE: If conditions are dusty/dirty, recommended practice is to leave fixtures in their plastic bags. Cut small holes in the bag as needed to complete the following installation sequence, and then completely remove the bag from the fixture when conditions are clean. This prevents dust and dirt build-up on the fixtures.

2. Install end-of-row aircraft cable brackets A. Hook A/C mounting bracket to endplate as shown. Raise bracket until security tab is engaged. B. Attach bracket to fixture using supplied fastener.
   NOTE: When installing individual modules, and the first fixture of a row, complete step 2 on both ends of fixture.

3. Suspend & level first fixture With 2 people, raise the first fixture to the ceiling. At each end of the module, insert aircraft cable through aircraft cable adjuster (located on A/C mount bracket).
   The adjuster will automatically grip and hold the cable.
   IMPORTANT: Do not force cable into adjuster. See instruction A (next page) for details.
   Trim aircraft cable below adjuster as per instruction A (next page).
   Level the fixture (see instruction B & C on next page).

4. Complete electrical connections NON-POWER LOCATIONS: Cap all wires and tuck into wire cavity.
   POWER LOCATIONS: Remove required 1/2″ round knockout(s). Insert power cord and apply strain relief below the socket saddle to secure cord. Remove installed quick-wire connectors (if applicable) at power feed locationsand complete electrical connections using wire nuts (supplied by others). Tuck wires into wire cavity.
   NOTE: Use smallest appropriate wire nuts.
   NOTE 2: Power feed connections can also be completed at joint locations.

5. Install in-row mount brackets and insert joiner aligners For each additional fixture in the row, at the end furthest from the existing suspended fixture, attach A/C mountingbracket to fixture using supplied fasteners (see step 2).
   At the end closest to the existing suspended fixture, insert joiner aligners into crossplate (aligners will lock intoplace).

6. Suspend and join additionalfixtures to create row With two people, raise second fixture to ceiling. At joint, insert joiner aligners through black gasket and into suspended fixture. At other end (opposite joint), insert aircraft cable through adjuster.
   IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to join fixtures on floor. Instead, hang one fixture at a time and join modules at ceiling level.

7. Complete electrical connections at joints Complete in-row electrical connections.
   NON-POWER LOCATIONS: Use supplied quick-wire connectors. Tuck wires into wire cavity.
   POWER LOCATIONS: Remove installed quick-wire connectors and complete electrical connections using wire nuts (supplied by others). Tuck wires into wiring cavity.

8. Secure joints SLIDE MODULES TOGETHER: Secure joint from above using supplied nut and bolt hardware.
   Repeat STEPS 5-8 for each additional fixture in row.

9. Install endcaps Attach end caps using supplied #8 screws.
   IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten endcap fasteners.
   Philips Ledalite recommends tightening fasteners by hand. When screwhead is flush with crossplate, turn an additional full turn.

10. Install light guide

Identify smooth side of the Light Guide and ensure it is installed smooth side DOWN. Install Light Guide panel into LED fixture after joining and wiring is complete. Ensure panel is seated correctly as shown above.

A Aircraft cable adjustment
IMPORTANT: Do not force cable into adjuster. To insert cable into adjuster, follow the steps below.

1. CUT
   If required, cut cable ends cleanly prior to inserting into adjuster. Recommended cutters: K.K. Porter cable cutter cat. No. 06”90TN or Klein all purpose shears cat. No. 1104.

2. INSERT
   Carefully insert cable into tapered end.
   If cable does not insert easily or becomes jammed during insertion, use the release tool to remove cable.
   Trim end and repeat process. DO NOT BEND CABLE BELOW BOTTOM OF ADJUSTER.

3. TEST
   Once cable is inserted, apply a 25lb point load to each mount bracket to ensure all connections are secure.

NOTE: Ensure fixture is level end-to-end. Support fixture from below and use supplied aircraft cable release tool to make fine height adjustments.
B Level horizontally LEVEL HORIZONTALLY (shown above): Loosen fasteners on bottom of adjuster and level as required. Tighten fastener once fixture is in level position.
C Level vertically LEVEL VERTICALLY (shown above) : Support fixture from below and use supplied aircraft cable release tool to make fine height adjustments (see instruction A for details).

Sensor in Rows
Single Sensor Controlling Whole Row

1. Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST be connected between fixtures.
   Note :
   – A maxi mum of 8 drivers can be wired to 8 sensors; confi rm fixture driver count with factory.
   Multiple Sensors Controlling Separates Zones in a Row

2. Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST NOT be connected between zones.
   Notes :
   – A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to one sensor; confirm fixture driver count with factory.
   – Only one sensor is allowed on a wired zone. (Sensors can be paired together wirelessly via a mobile app).

Sensor Spacing
– For correct operation, sensor should be placed a minimum distance of 8ft apart.
– Wireless sensor should be placed no further than 40ft apart for good wireless signal connection.

Important Consideration When Using Sensor in a Row

• For fixtures with wireless sensors (CS, SB or RA options): DO NOT connect fixture purple and brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires to an external dimming switch.  Fixture mains wiring should not be connected to a circuit with an external on/off switch.
• For best aesthetic condition, place sensors at ends of row only sO as not to break the continuous lens.
• For better occupancy coverage in longer rows, sensors may be placed mid run, but keep in mind this will break the continuous lens into discrete sections. Alternatively, remote sensors may be used, note the same wiring rules will apply.

Occupancy Sensor Coverage:

Note: Longer dimension of detection area (Y1, Y2) is parallel to longer dimensi on of the lumi naire.

Daylight Sensor

The light sensor measures the total amount of light in a circular field of approximately 80% of the PIR detection area. The following aspects should be observed during installation:

• Minimum distance from the window = 2ft (0.6m).
• Prevent light reflections from outside entering the sensor (for example sunlight reflection on a car hood) as this will lead to incorrect light regulation.

As a guideline the formula 0.72 X H can be used to calculate the minimum distance between the window and sensor whereby H is the height from the bottom of the window to the sensor.

ft)

The detection area for the movement sensor can be roughly divided into two parts;

• Minor movements (person moving = 3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
• Major movements (person moving = 3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
  Photosensor spatial response ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
