GENERAL
This LED driver is to be installed Indoor in accordance with Article 450 of the National Electric code (N.E.C.) . The LED driver must be installed in a well-ventilated area free from explosive gases and vapors. Proper operation requires the free flow of air. Only a qualified electrician should install this hardwired LED driver.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING
Check the label and ensure the LED driver has the proper input voltage, output voltage and wattage for the job. Check the wire color to ensure they match the wiring diagram on this instruction sheet.
MOUNTING
Select a suitable location capable of supporting the weight of the LED driver.
INPUT CONNECTIONS/GROUNDING
Remove the wiring compartment knockouts and install strain reliefs.
With power turned off, route the input wires through a strain relief.
Plug Neutral, Live and grounding wires into the each terminal of white, black
and green wires from LED driver respectively.
The LED driver MUST be grounded in accordance with the N.E.C.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Bring the lamp wires through the open knockout.
Single-channel output models:
Plug the LED positve (+) wire into terminal of red wire from LED driver.
Plug the LED negatve (–) wire into terminal of blue wire from LED driver.
Multi-channel output models:
Refer to their unit label and specification for each output connection.Please
note interconnection of outputs are not permitted.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Prior to troubleshooting, ensure all items are a compatible system and main power is turned ON.
Fixture does not illuminate|
- See ‘Wiring Diagrams’ and installation guides of all components.
- Ensure the system is wired correctly and polarities are correct.
- Ensure the driver and fixture have the same voltage specifications.
---|---
Fixture is flashing or flickering|
- Ensure all connections are properly secured.
- Ensure driver is not overloaded. An overloaded driver will cause the internal auto-reset to trip repeatedly.
- Ensure each output channel connected properly. No interconnection for outputs
Installation Trips Main Breaker|
- Check wiring for short circuit. If breaker continues to trip there may be a short in the driver. Call customer support for a replacement driver.
- Check AFCI for faults.
- Check for neutral or ground faults.
