0-10V DIMMABLE WIRING
Universal voltage driver permits operation at 120V through 277V, 50 or 60 Hz. 0-10V control wires must be rated for 300V minimum. For 0-10V dimming, follow the wiring directions shown below (Fig. 7).
- Connect the black fixture lead to the LINE supply lead.
- Connect the white fixture lead to the COMMON supply lead.
- Connect the GROUND wire from the fixture to the supply ground. Do NOT connect the GROUND of the dimming fixture to the output.
- Connect the purple fixture lead to the (V+) DIM lead.
- Connect the pink fixture lead to the (V-) DIM lead.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Check that the line voltage at the fixture is correct. Refer to wiring directions.
- Be sure the fixture is grounded properly.
- If the Lightcloud Blue-enabled fixture does not connect follow the steps to enable device pairing mode and try to pair again.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Be sure the fixture temperature is cool enough to touch. Do not clean or maintain while the fixture is energized.
- Clean polycarbonate lens & fixture with non-abrasive cleaning solution.
- Do not open the fixture to clean the LEDs. Do not touch the LEDs.
Note: These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide for every possible situation during installation, operation or maintenance.
BATTERY BACKUP MODELS
WIRING
- CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. Voltage can be present in the BATTERY. To prevent high voltage from being present on output leads, the Inverter connector must be open. Do not join the BATTERY connector until installation is complete and AC power is supplied to the emergency driver (Fig. 8).
- 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.
- Connect UNSWITCHED HOT fixture lead to HOT AC supply line.
- If using an UNSWITCHED circuit, connect UNSWITCHED and SWITCHED lines together.
- If using a SWITCHED circuit, connect the SWITCHED HOT AC fixture lead to the external.
- Connect the pink fixture lead to the (V-) DIM lead.
- For 0-10V Dimming, connect DIM (+) and DIM (-) to the supply ground. Do not connect GROUND to the output leads.
- All unused leads must be capped and insulated.
- After installation is complete, supply AC power to the fixture and connect the BATTERY.
- When power is on, the fixture should be on and the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
- Once the BATTERY has charged for at least one hour, a short-duration test may be performed by pressing the Test Button ( Fig. 9) After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long-duration test can be performed by shutting power to the fixture.
OPERATION
- When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the BATTERY is being charged.
- When power fails, the standby power automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery), operating at reduced illumination. The emergency driver supplies standby power for a minimum of 90 minutes.
- When AC power is restored, the emergency driver automatically returns to charging mode.
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:
- Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.
- Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds.
- Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. The fixture would operate at reduced illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Is the fixture grounded properly?
- If the charging indicator light does not illuminate after pressing the Test Button, check if the battery is connected properly.
