IMPORTANT

  • READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING FIXTURE. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. RAB fi xtures must be wired in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. Proper grounding is required for safety. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND  OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED.
  • WARNING: Make certain power is OFF before installing or maintaining fixture. No user serviceable parts inside.
  • CAUTION: For proper weatherproof function all gaskets must be seated properly and all screws inserted and tightened  rmly. Apply weatherproof silicone sealant around the edge of the ceiling mounting box and/or junction box. This is especially important with an uneven ceiling surface.
  • Silicone all plugs and unused conduit entries.
  • Suitable for wet locations. Min 75° supply conductors.

SURFACE MOUNTING

The fixture is suitable for outdoor applications in wet locations either ceiling or wall mounted.

  1. Use appropriate mounting screws (not supplied) to secure the Surface Mounting Brackets (2 included) to Mounting Surface. Recommended Surface Mounting Brackets distance center to center is 14 5/8” (for SHARK2) and 37” (for SHARK4).
    NOTE: Mount Surface Mounting Brackets (2) symmetrical about the center of the fi xture and aligned with each other.

  2. Download the Lightcloud Blue app from the Apple® App store or Google Play™ store.
  3. Launch the App and create an account or login.
  4. Tap the “add device” icon in the app to start connecting devices.
  5. Follow the remaining steps in the app. Create Areas and Groups and add Scenes to organize and control your devices.

ENABLE DEVICE PAIRING MODE

  • If your Lightcloud Blue Low Voltage Controller+Sensor is already paired there are various options to choose from to return the device to the default factory settings.
  • Method 1: Delete from the App
  • Open the app and access the device settings for the paired device. Be sure that the device is online with a strong connection and select ‘Delete’. The fixture will fl ash 3x, then reset to 100% brightness.
  • Method 2: Rapid Reset Tool
  • The Rapid Reset process must be done by a professional electrician qualified by RAB. Reach out to your RAB sales manager to request a Rapid Reset Tool. The tool simply needs to be placed directly on  the side of the device for 2s or until the fixture fl ashes 3x, then resets to 100% brightness.RAB-SHARK-2FT-Linear-LED-Washdown- \(10\)

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 in Fig. 13.

  1. Connect the black fixture lead to the LINE supply lead.
  2. Connect the white fi xture lead to the COMMON supply lead.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

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

  1. Lens should be washed in a solution of warm water and any mild, non-abrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry.
    WARNING: Polycarbonate is affected by cleaning agents or other liquids containing partial solvents such as low molecular weight aldehydes and ethers, ketones, esters, aromatic hydrocarbons and perchlorinated hydrocarbons. In addition, chemical attack ranging from partial to complete destruction of polycarbonate occurs in contact with alkaline, alkali salts, amines and high zone concentrations. Please go to rablighting.com for a detailed list of damaging chemicals

  2. Do not open 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?

BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

WIRING

  • CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. Voltage could 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 and AC power is supplied to the emergency driver (Fig. 14).
  • 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.
  • CAUTION: Do not use any supply voltage other than 120-277V 50/60 HZ.
1. Connect UNSWITCHED HOT fi xture 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 AC fixture lead to the external SWITCHED.
4. Connect the NEUTRAL fi xture lead to the NEUTRAL supply line.
5. For 0-10V Dimming, connect DIM (+) and DIM (-) to the supply DIM (+) and DIM (-).
6. Connect GROUND lead from the fi xture to the supply ground. Do not connect GROUND to the output leads.
7. All unused lead must be capped and insulated.
8. After installation is complete, supply AC power to the fi xture and connect the BATTERY.
9. When power is on, the fi xture should be on and the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
10. Once the BATTERY has charged for at least one hour, a short duration test may be performed by pressing the test button.
11.  After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long duration test can be performed by shutting power to the fixture.

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 a minimum of 90 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  1. Is the fixture grounded properly?
  2. If the charging indicator light does not illuminate after pressing the test button (Fig. 15), check if battery is connected properly.
