Prepare Electrical Wiring
Electrical Requirements

The LED driver must be supplied with 120-277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker. Use min. 75 C supply conductor.

Electrical Requirements

The grounding and bonding of the overall system  shall be done in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) Article 600 and local codes

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. CAN ICES-005 (A) / NMB-005 (A)
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this

Unit Installation

  1. Carefully unpack the unit and properly inspect for defects before installing. Wear work gloves to prevent dirt and oil from being transferred to the luminaire.

  2. Choose a mounting method: chain, cable, rod, or surface mount.
    NOTE: Please follow all UL, NEC, and minimum load rating guidelines when selecting and installing a cable, chain, or rod.

  3. The mounting brackets come pre-installed. Loosen the screws to move the brackets to the desired location, then re-tighten. Each mounting bracket can connect to a chain, cable, rod, or be surface mounted.

Chain or Cable Mounting

GE current ALC6 ALC Series Industrial Linear Luminaire
-fig1

Hang two chains/cables from a structural member of the ceiling. Fixture must be supported independently of an outlet box. Loop chain/cable through the two mounting brackets.

Rod Mounting

Secure two 1/2” threaded rods into structural members in the ceiling. Place a nut on each threaded rod where the fixture should hang. Slide mounting brackets onto threaded rods and tighten the second nut onto the rods to secure the fixture.

Surface Mounting

A Position the two mounting brackets at the ends of the fixture and tighten them. Attach the fixture to the ceiling using appropriate hardware (not supplied).
B Loosen the end cap screw and swing open the end cap to remove. Repeat for both end caps.

C Loosen screws on side of the fixture and unhinge LED lightbar.
D Remove the LED lightbar by disconnecting the provided quick-connectors.
E Run power through one of the 0.875” holes in the top of the fixture and into a junction box. Connect AC wires from the junction box to fixture wires (see Step 4 under Electrical Connections for details).

F Reattach the lightbar to the fixture and tighten the screws. Reattach both end caps and tighten screws.

Electrical Connections

Note: Please see additional wiring instructions if installing multiple fixtures in a Continuous Run.

A Loosen end cap screw and swing open the end cap to remove it.

B Option: power input from top – A) Install 1/2” conduit or B) install AC power cord with strain relief through .875” hole on top of fixture
C Option: power input from side – Remove knockout in endcap and A) install 1/2” conduit, or B) install AC power cord with strain relief. Plug the unused hole on top with the appropriate fitting.

D 120-277V: Connect the green (ground), black (line), and white (neutral) wires of the AC line to the similarly colored wires of the fixture’s power supply using UL-listed wire connectors. Reattach endcap. 347-480V: Connect the green (ground), red (line), and black (neutral) wires of the AC line to the similarly colored wires of

Continuous Run Installation

A Choose the first fixture for the run and connect the starter wire harness (provided in Continuous Run Kit) to the fixture wire harness. If connectors don’t mate, use a small adapter harness (also found in kit).
B Option: Sensor – Insert sensor (ordered separately) into endcap knockout (provided in Continuous Run Kit) and wire to starter wire harness per sensor wiring instructions.

C Using two people, hang the first fixture. The side opposite the starter harness will connect with the next fixture on the run. Connect the starter harness with building power as shown in the Electrical Connections section of this guide.
D Align and mount the second fixture on run such that the wire harness quick-connectors will mate correctly.
E Make wiring connections between the fixtures with the wire harness quick-connectors.

I Repeating Steps 3-7, add fixtures as needed to complete the continuous run. Do not exceed the maximum number of fixtures per run listed in the table above (maximum current through wire harness must not exceed 15A).
NOTE: If there are unused quick connectors at the end of a run, cut off the connectors and cap the ends with wire connectors to terminate the wires.

Sympton Solution
Luminaire will not turn on • Check that the color of the supply side wires

match the color of the wires they are connected to.
• Check that all wire connectors are properly connected.
• Verify that your input voltage is within specs.
• If using any additional controls (i.e. wireless controls or motion sensors), please also verify
• that those are working properly and that the unit is set up to interface with the controllers.
Mounting bracket slides from the side
to side| Check that the mounting bracket is properly tightened using the adjustment screws provided.
