LEDALITE ID-77 Sona Suspended LED

System Overview

These instructions review how to install Sona suspended fixtures. 4ft and 8ft modules can be installed as individual standalone units, or they can be joined together to create continuous runs. The graphics below show the components required to install a typical run of Sona suspended fixtures.

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before beginning installation .

Tools Required

• Medium Phillips Screwdriver
• 3/8” Wrench, 1/4” ratchet with 3/8” socket, or 3/8” GearWrench.

Mount Spacing
Sona fixture modules are designed for exact on-grid mounting.

Sona Endcap Kits

• Endcap
• Sling cable assembly

• 8-32 x 1/2” screws (x2)

Sona Joint Kit(s)

• Sling cable assembly (X1)
• Joiner aligner pair (X1)

• 10-24 x 9/16” bolts (x2)

• 10-24 nuts (x2)

Note: 1 kit is required for each in-row joint

Module Lengths

Sona suspended fixtures come in 4ft and 8ft modules. Overall module lengths are shown below. Add 4-15/16” for each sculpted endcap or 7/16” for each flat endcap.

Installation Instruction

1. Arrange boxed fixtures on the floor in specified mounting locations, and remove fixtures from boxes. Install all ceiling mounting components and vertical aircraft cables using separate installation instructions for Aircraft Cable Mounting (supplied).

2. Install cable gripper
   Insert sling cable gripper into cross plate holes as shown. Pivot the cable gripper up. Repeat at another end of the light fixture.* For the variable mount option, see page 4, steps 9a to 10.

3. Suspend fixture
   With 2 people, raise the fixture up to the suspension cables and feed through grippers. Set the fixture to the desired height. Slide the diffuser back from the cross plate if needed.

4. Power Cord Installation
   Insert supplied 1/2” bushing into 1/2” electrical knockout on wire cover reflector. Crimp supplied strain relief onto power cord insulation (recommend Heyco Tool PN0019(R12)). Ensure the power cord does not have excess slack or is too tight. Complete necessary electri-cal connections (by others) in compliance with local codes. Tuck wires into the wiring cavity.

5. On joining the fixture, break apart the joiner pair by twisting them apart. Insert joiner brackets into the cross plate (brackets should lock into place). With two people, raise the second fixture to the ceiling.

6. At the joint, rest joiner aligners in the suspended fixture at another end (opposite joint), insert aircraft cable through adjuster

7. Complete in-row electrical connections.
   NON-POWER LOCATIONS: Use supplied quick-wire connectors. Tuck wires into wire cavity.
   POWER LOCATIONS: Remove installed quick-wire connectors and complete electrical connec-tions using wire nuts (supplied by others). Tuck wires into wiring cavity.
   IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to join fixtures on the floor. Instead, hang one fixture at a time and join modules at ceiling level.

8. Secure joints
   Slide fixtures together and secure joint using supplied nut and bolt hardware (requires 3/8” wrench, 1/4” ratchet with 3/8” socket, or 3/8” GearWrench). Slide the diffuser back under the tab after securing the hardware.

9. Level all fixtures/rows
   LEVEL HORIZONTALLY: Loosen the horizontal leveling screw located on the bottom of the adjuster and level as required. Tighten the screw once the mount is in a level position.
   ADJUST VERTICALLY: Support the fixture from below and press down on the vertical adjustment pin to make fine height adjustments (review instruction A for details)

10. Install endcaps
    Attach the endcap to the first and last module in each row using supplied hardware. Slide the diffuser back under the tab on the cross plate after securing the hardware.
    IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten endcap screws. Ledalite recommends tightening screws by hand.

Aircraft cable adjustment

IMPORTANT:
Do not force the cable into the adjuster. Insert the cable into the adjuster following the steps below.

1. CUT
   If required, cut cable ends cleanly prior to inserting them into the adjuster. Recommended cutters: K.K. Porter cable cutter cat. No. 0690TN or Klein all- purpose shears cat. No. 1104.

2. INSERT
   Carefully insert the cable into the tapered end. Press down on the vertical adjustment pin to make fine height adjustments. Trim ends, as required, leaving a minimum of 1” exposed.

3. TEST
   Once the cable is inserted, apply a 25lb point load to each mounting bracket to ensure all connections are secure.

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. Op-eration of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the inter-ference at his own expense.

Sensor in Rows

Single Sensor Controlling Whole Row

1. Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST be connected between fixtures. Note :
   A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to 8 sensors; confirm the fixture driver count with the factory.
   Multiple Sensors Controlling Separates Zones in a Row

2. Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST NOT be connected between zones. Notes:

   • A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to one sensor; confirm the fixture driver count with the factory.
   • Only one sensor is allowed on a wired zone. (Sensors can be paired together wirelessly via a mobile app).

Sensor Spacing

• For correct operation, sensors should be placed a minimum distance of 8ft apart.
• The wireless sensor should be placed no further than 40ft apart for a good wireless signal connection.

Important Consideration When Using Sensor in a Row

• For fixtures with wireless sensors (CS, SB, or RA options):
  • DO NOT connect fixture purple and brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires to an external dimming switch.
  • Fixture mains wiring should not be connected to a circuit with an external on/off switch.
• For the best aesthetic condition, place sensors at the ends of the row only so as not to break the continuous lens.
• For better occupancy coverage in long rows, sensors may be placed mid-run, but keep in mind this will break the continuous lens into discrete sections. Alternatively, remote sensors may be used, note the same wiring rules will apply.

Occupancy Sensor Coverage

Note:
Longer dimension of the detection area (Y1, Y2) is parallel to the longer dimension of the luminaire.

Daylight Sensor

The light sensor measures the total amount of light in a circular field of approximately 80% of the PIR detection area. The following aspects should be observed during installation:

• Minimum distance from the window ≥ 2ft (0.6m).
• Prevent light reflections from outside entering the sensor (for example sunlight reflection on a car hood) as this will lead to incorrect light regulation.

As a guideline, the formula 0.72 X H can be used to calculate the minimum distance between the window and the sensor whereby H is the height from the bottom of the window to the sensor.

The detection area for the movement sensor can be roughly divided into two parts;

• Minor movements (a person moving ≤ 3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
• Major movements (a person moving ≥ 3ft/s or 0.9m/s).

Photosensor spatial response

ATTENTION:
Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
