INSTALLATION FOR RETROFIT OR FIXTURE

1. Disconnect or turn off power before installation.

2. If applicable: adjust the FlexWatt and/or FlexColor switches to desired wattage/lumen package and CCT.
   *Note: that not all models have these adjustments. Check your part # and product specification sheet for more details.

3. Install the magnetic mounting clips or the suspension mounting brackets on to the ceiling.
   There are two types of wiring methods:

4. Use LBI incoming power cable at Input side (sold separately).

5. Use the LBI Junction Box to hard wire (sold separately).
   Make the electrical connection to the fixture in accordance with local electrical code.
   Make all necessary wiring connections, observing proper voltage and polarity.

6. Reconnect power, the light will be on.

7. Adjust settings of the motion sensor (OCC) if desired. See separate instruction sheet for details.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Cables manufactured before Jan 1st 2023 will have an alternate color code. Where Yellow = Red and Pink = Gray.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON WIRING METHOD

As you will see on the following pages, there are many possible uses for The Linear Transformer. If your application calls for multiple light bars in a single fixture, there a 2 possible ways to order and wire (see below).

• PARALLEL

• Multiple incoming power cables can be grouped together under the ballast cover to make connection to incoming power and controls. ****

• SERIES (WITH LINKING CABLE)
  This method is the fastest. The first light bar uses an incoming power cable, additional light bars are linked using “linking cables” which are available in a variety of lengths. Linking cable are sold separately.

• SERIES (WITH SEAMLESS CONNECTOR)
  This method provides a near seamless appearance between the bars. The first light bar uses an incoming power cable, additional light bars are linked using “seamless connec-tors” which are sold separately.

LBI – ACCESSORIES

LINKING CABLES & SEAMLESS CONNECTORSUse Linking Cables and Seamless Connectors to easily connect the power and control wires from one light bar to another. The …-DIM version of the linking cables and seamless connector link all connections (AC power; 12V Aux power; 0-10V DIM signal) from light bar to light bar. Use these items to control all light bars from one sensor or incoming cable connection. The …-NODIM version of these items only links the AC power. Use these items to AC power all light bars with a single power feed; but separate control signals into individual groups.

4.7IN SPACER CONNECTOR | RP-LBI-SRC-4.7IN (SINGLE PACK)

*Use the 4.7in Spacer Connector to bring the length of the bar system to a standard dimension (24in, 36in, 48in). This is useful when retrofitting linear fixtures of a standard length. It allows for the bar to be centered on each standard-length fixture. Each 4.7in spacer connector comes with (2) Seamless Connector-DIM.
Note: spacer does not emit light
SENSOR KITS**

• RP-LBI-OC2-A (STANDARD RANGE – SINGLE PACK)
• RP-LBI-OC3-A_LR (LIMITED RANGE – SINGLE PACK)

Sensors kits for LBI are Tri-Level, remote controllable high frequency radar sensor designed to easily inte-grate with the LBI bars. It is totally plug- and-play! It can dim the light bars down to conserve more energy from both motion and daylight. The sensor controls the 0-10V DIM signal in both directions from the Sensor unit. Each sensor kit comes with (1) sensor (4.7 inch); (1) surface mount magnetic clip; (2) Seamless Connec-tor-DIM; (1) 12” Linking Cable-DIM. See RP-LBI-OC2-A/OC3-A data sheet for more details.

SURFACE MOUNT MAGNETIC CLIP | RP-LBI-SMM-10P (10 PACK ONLY)

****The Surface Mount Magnetic Clip provides the most universal method for attaching the light bar to a wall, ceiling, or fixture to be retrofitted. The mounting tabs that extend perpendicularly from the light bar can be easily removed by bending and breaking on the pre-scored line. The strong rare-earth magnets are intended to hold light bars in place while installing mechanical fasteners. Not intended for permanent installation with magnets only.
Two of these clips are included in each light bar kit.

SUSPENDED IN-LINE KIT | RP-LBI-SIL-KIT-10P (10 PACK ONLY)

• The Suspended In-Line Kit includes everything needed to suspend LBI from the ceiling.
• The complete kit includes: Suspended In-Line Bracket, Aircraft Cable (9.8ft), Adjustable cable gripper, and a ceiling anchor.

SUSPENDED IN-LINE BRACKET (BRACKET ONLY) | RP-LBI-SIL-BRACKET-10P (10 PACK ONLY)

****The Suspended In-Line Bracket (bracket only) is a wide clip that fastens over the junction between 2 LBI light bars to keep them straight in-line and provides mounting points for common suspension methods (air craft cable, drop chain, etc.) This part number is for the bracket only.

T-BAR CLIPS

• RP-LBI-T1516-10P (PARALLEL – DIRECTLY UNDER THE T-BAR – 10 PACK)
• RP-LBI-T1516-90-10P (PERPENDICULAR – ACROSS THE BAR – 10 PACK)

BLADE CLIP | RP-LBI-BLC-10P (10 PACK ONLY)
The Blade Clip is designed to provide a retrofit solution for fixtures that have thin sheet metal or plastic film reflectors commonly found on high bay fixtures. The rotating mounting blade provides a degree of freedom to align the mounting holes on the blade with fastening locations that may not be in line with the light bar or where the distance between available mounting points is greater than the length of the light bar. It is common to attach the blade to the same point holding the thin reflector to the fixture frame.

UP DOWN CLIP | RP-LBI-UDC-10P (10 PACK ONLY)
Use the Up/Down clip with our suspended in-line kit to clip a shorter bar to provide up-light. For example, if suspending a 4ft, use the 3ft OR 2ft as the up-light, (so there is room for the suspension-kit connection). The RP-LBI- SIL-KIT comes with wire clips to hold the linking power cable for UP bars in line and neat. (linking cable not included)

LBI JUNCTION BOX | RP-LBI-JBOX-1.5X4
The LBI junction box is used to connect LBI wiring to branch circuits. Connections are made from the LBI Junction box to the Light Bar using a seamless connector or linking cable. The internal wiring (except the optional switch) is rated to 600V (for 347V operation) For undercabinet or task lighting, the junction box includes an optional 120V ON/OFF switch that can be installed into a rectangular knock-out on the cover. Kit includes 1pc RP-LBI- SSC-DIM.
