4. Setup

1. Power Disconnection: Before beginning any installation, ensure that the power supply to the lighting system is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker.
2. Identify Connectors: Locate the male and female connectors on your luminaire and driver, and on the NCA-EW-10 extension cable. The extension cable has one male end and one female end.
3. Connect to Luminaire: Connect the appropriate end of the NCA-EW-10 extension cable to the corresponding connector on your luminaire. Ensure the connection is firm and fully seated.
4. Connect to Driver: Connect the other end of the NCA-EW-10 extension cable to the corresponding connector on the lighting system's driver enclosure. Ensure this connection is also firm and fully seated.
5. Multiple Cables (Optional): If additional length is required, connect another NCA-EW-10 cable to the first, ensuring the total length does not exceed 40 feet. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional cable.
6. Secure Cabling: Route and secure the cable(s) to prevent accidental disconnections or damage. Avoid pinching or sharp bends in the cable.
7. Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the lighting system.

5. Operating

The Nora NCA-EW-10 extension cable is a passive component designed to facilitate power transfer. Once properly installed, it operates seamlessly with your Iolite Can-less or M-Wave lighting system. No user interaction is required for its operation beyond initial setup.

6. Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable and its connectors for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cable with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: If the cable is removed for storage, coil it loosely and store it in a dry, protected area away from extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

If your lighting system is not functioning after installing the extension cable, consider the following:

• No Power: Ensure the power supply to the lighting system is active. Check circuit breakers.
• Loose Connections: Verify that all connectors (luminaire to extension cable, extension cable to driver, and between multiple extension cables) are fully seated and secure.
• Damaged Cable: Inspect the entire length of the extension cable for any visible damage, cuts, or kinks. If damaged, replace the cable.
• Compatibility: Confirm that the extension cable is being used with compatible Nora Iolite Can-less or M-Wave lighting components.
• Exceeded Length: Ensure the total length of all connected extension cables does not exceed the maximum recommended 40 feet.

If issues persist after performing these checks, consult a qualified electrician or contact Nora Lighting customer support.
