WARNING : Do not handle energized fixture when hands are wet, when standing on wet or damp surfaces, or in water.
WARNING : Vapor barrier must be suitable for 90° C.
WARNING : Fixture to be independently supported to building structure.

RECESSED CEILING MOUNTING

The fixture is suitable only for INDOOR RECESSED CEILING application. Above ceiling access required. To mount in an insulated or non-insulated ceiling – 9/16” or 15/16” exposed Flat Tee Grid Ceiling follow the steps below.

  1. Firmly bend the pre-installed Grid Clips up and out as shown in Fig. 1.
  2. Rotate and slide the Fixture as required to fit through the Tee-Grid Bar and place it as indicated by the directional arrow as shown in Fig. 2. Secure the Fixture to the Tee-Grid Bar.
  3. Support Wires are required by installation codes. Support the Fixture to the building structure with Support Wires (supplied by others) through the Grid Clip Hole as shown in Fig. 3.
  4. Make sure that the orientation of the Splice Box and Access Plate faces an accessible tile to make electrical splices.
  5. Loosen Access Plate Screw and remove the Access Plate. Knock out appropriate Conduit Knockouts on the Access Plate to route input conduit. Use appropriate conduit connectors as required by code (Fig. 4).
  6. Connect wires as shown in wiring diagram (Fig 6). Push all wires back into the Splice Box. Use appropriate UL-approved wire connectors as required by code to complete wiring. Be careful not to pinch wires. WARNING: To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects.
  7. Replace Access Plate and tighten Access Plate Screw.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

TROUBLESHOOTING
Universal voltage driver permits operation at 120V through 277V.

  1. Connect the black fixture lead to the LINE supply lead.
  2. Connect the white fixture lead to the COMMON supply lead.
  3. Connect the GROUND wire from fixture to supply ground.
  4. Connect the purple fixture lead to the (V+) DIM lead.
  5. Connect the pink fixture lead to the (V-) DIM lead.

NOTE : Do not connect DIM V+ (purple)/ DIM V- (pink) to line voltage or supply ground. /LCB models do not include DIM V+ (purple) DIM V- (pink) wires.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  1. Check that the line voltage at fixture is correct. Refer to wiring directions.
  2. Is the fixture grounded properly?

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

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

  1. Clean frosted polystyrene lens & fixture with non-abrasive cleaning solution.
  2. Do not open fixture to clean the LEDs. Do not touch the LEDs.

BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

WIRING

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.

Battery Test Button is provided with adhesive backing. Align the Test Button to edge of Fixture Frame closest to the lens for easy accessibility as shown in Fig. 8 & 9.

  1. Connect UNSWITCHED HOT fixture 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.
  4. For 0-10V dimming, connect DIM (+) purple and DIM (-) pink leads to 0-10V dimming connection.
  5. All unused leads must be capped and insulated.
  6. When power is on, the fixture should be on and the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
  7. Once the BATTERY has charged for at least one hour, a short duration test may be performed by pressing the Test Button.
  8. After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long duration test can be performed by shutting power to the fixture.

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.

OPERATION

  1. When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the BATTERY is being charged.
  2. When power fails the standby power automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery) operating at reduced illumination. The emergency driver will operate in standby power for a minimum of 90 minutes.
  3. 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:

  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, check if battery is connected properly.

LIGHTCLOUD® BLUE
Lightcloud Blue is a Bluetooth mesh wireless lighting control system that allows you to control various compatible devices. With RAB’s patented Rapid Provisioning technology, devices can be quickly and easily commissioned for residential and large commercial applications using the Lightcloud Blue mobile app. Each device in a system can communicate with any other device, eliminating the need for a Gateway or Hub and maximizing the control system’s reach. Lightcloud Blue devices should be placed within the specified range to communicate within the Bluetooh Mesh network. Up to 60 feet between standard building materials.

LIGHTCLOUD® BLUE SENSORS
Sensors are integrated at the factory and operate in Occupancy mode in their Uncommissioned State. Once paired to the Lightcloud Blue mobile app, the sensor will be disabled. Sensor Settings can be adjusted after being moved into an Area in the Lightcloud Blue mobile app. Once the sensor is enabled in the mobile app, the sensor will respond based on Commissioned State factory settings.

Factory Settings: Uncommissioned State

ENABLING SMARTSHIFT

Before enableling SmartShift the NANO/LCB (sold separately) must be paired to the mobile app and connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Network.

  1. Open the Lightcloud Blue mobile app
  2. Tap the DEVICES icon at the bottom of the screen
  3. Select the Nano to access device settings
  4. Add Areas to the Nano
  5. You’re all set!

Once devices are paired and setup in an Area in the Lightclould Blue app the SmartShift settings can be configured. When SmartShift is enabled the fixture will automatically adjust the CCT and dim level (optional) based on the selected Preset Schedule.

  1. Open the Lightcloud Blue mobile app
  2. Tap the SMARTSHIFT icon at the bottom of the screen
  3. Scroll down to the ‘AREAS’ section and select the ‘AREA’ that will be managed by SmartShift
  4. Tap the USE SMARTSHIFT toggle button. This will enabled SmartShift to adjust the color temperature
  5. Optional : Tap the AUTOMATIC DIMMING toggle button to enable SmartShift to adjust the dim level

Once SmartShift is enabled, the lights will stay ON 24/7 unless a SmartShift Schedule is setup in the SmartShift tab. The SmartShift Schedule will specify the hours that the lights should remain ON. A Preset Schedule specifies the dim level and color temperature adjustment intervals.

Note : Any manual adjustment to the color temperature or dim level from the mobile app or other Lightcloud Blue switching device will disable SmartShift and/or Automatic Dimming.

RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS

If your Lightcloud Blue fixture is already paired, you can reset it to factory settings by using the below methods.

Method 1: Delete from App
Open the app and access the device settings for the paired device. Be sure that the downlight is online (green status bars are visible) and select “DELETE FROM SITE”.

Method 2: Manual
Power the fixture off and on 5 times consecutively. Do not allowless than 5 seconds and more than 10 seconds to elapse from switch off to on, do not allow more than 2 seconds to elapse from switch on to off. The fixture will flash 3 times, then reset to 100% brightness at default CCT.

Method 3: Rapid Reset Tool
The rapid reset process must be done by professional electricians 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 small “Reset” label on fixture for 2 seconds. The fixture will flash 3 times, then reset to 100% brightness at default CCT.
