CAUTION: RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE

• Never connect components under load.
• Do not mount or support these fixtures in a manner that can cut the outer jacket or damage wire insulation.
• Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Never connect an LED product to dimmer packs, occupancy sensors, timing devices, or other related control devices. LED fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit.
• Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not restrict fixture ventilation. Allow for some volume of airspace around fixture. Avoid covering LED fixtures with insulation, foam, or other material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling.
• Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not exceed fixtures maximum ambient temperature.
• Only use fixture in its intended location.
• LED products are polarity-sensitive. Ensure proper Polarity before installation.
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): ESD can damage LED fixtures. Personal grounding equipment must be worn during all installation or servicing of the unit.
• Do not touch individual electrical components, as this can cause ESD, shorten lamp life, or alter performance.
• Some components inside the fixture may not be serviceable. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, stop using the unit immediately and contact an ABL representative for assistance.
• Always read the complete installation instructions for the fixture prior to installation for any additional fixture specific warnings.
• Verify that power distribution system has proper grounding. Lack of proper earth ground can lead to fixture failure and may void warranty. All luminaires that contain electronic devices that generate frequencies above 9kHz from any component within the luminaire comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Failure to follow any of these instructions could void product warranties. For a complete listing of product Terms and Conditions, please visit www.acuitybrands.com.

  • All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.
  • Consult your local building code for approved wiring and installation.
  • For use Outdoors. Failure to ensure conduit connections are properly protected against water ingress during installation may void warranty.
  • Do not mount near gas or electric heater.
  • Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
  • The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
  • Do not use this equipment for other than intended use

INSTALLATION and WIRING

• IMPORTANT: Provide each unit with a 5-30V DC power supply for normal lighting.
• PRODUCT DAMAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE RATED INPUT VOLTAGE IS EXCEEDED.
• NOTE: To meet the minimum illumination requirements of NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code), the maximum mounting height from ground is 11.3 feet
• NOTE: This unit should be mounted ONLY through a pair of the preformed keyholes onto a 4” “OCTAGON” junction box, or through a pair of the keyhole knockouts onto a 4” “SQUARE” junction box, or using conduit entry.

OPENING THE UNIT

Use a flat head screw driver, locate the slots, one on each side and two on top, and twist screw driver in each slot

JUNCTION BOX MOUNTING

1. Feed the supply leads through the junction box and prepare the lead ends to make connections to the fixture leads.
2. On the rear housing, remove the round center knockout (1.2” diameter) and the desired pair of keyhole knockouts. Use knockouts instead of drilling holes to prevent metal shavings from entering the unit.
3. Route the supply leads through the knockout and attach them to the respective leads on the fixture. Grounding is not required for remote units.
4. Mount the rear housing on the junction box with suitable hardware (not supplied).

SURFACE CONDUIT MOUNTING

NOTE: to avoid interference with components in the housing, use the most compact wire connectors appropriate to the wire gauge.

1. PREPARING THE UNIT FOR CONDUIT :
   Remove the conduit plug from inside. The unit is threaded to accept 1/2” NPT threads (14 TPI), which are common in rigid conduit and EMT connector products. Rigid conduit or EMT fittings can be directly threaded into the housing without the need for a locknut, or for wet locations, use an approved wet location fitting

2. BRANCH CIRCUITWIRING :
   The wiring compartment is sized for (3) incoming 12 AWG wires and (3) outgoing 12 AWG wires and common wire connectors. If your branch circuit is a larger AWG or you have a need for a through-wire application, install the branch circuit raceway such that you do not have to pass the circuit through the fixture.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

1. Ensure all wires and connectors are routed to  avoid interference with other components. Line up the alignment pins (located at diagonally opposite corners of the front housing) with the mating receptacles (two on the rear housing).
2. To properly close the unit, it is important to push the cover straight onto the rear housing. If the pins are not aligned with the receptacles, the housing will not close properly. Make sure there are no gaps between the front and rear housings. If gap is present, open the unit and reinstall the front housing.

MAINTENANCE

LIGHT ENGINE REPLACEMENT

1. Open the unit and disconnect all connectors from the charger board, remove the screws from the plastic cover and charger board and take them out
2. Remove mounting screws from the bracket and remove the light engine assembly. Carefully unplug connectors from the light engine and reconnect the connectors to the new light engine. Reinstall light engine assembly and ensure that the lamp wires are not pinched.

CHARGER BOARD REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect input leads on the charger board. Remove plastic cover from the housing.
2. Disconnect all connectors from the charger board
3. Remove all the screws from the charger board, replace the charger board, connect the connectors in the same orientation to the new charger board.
