  • Not to be submerged or used in a marine environment.

RISK OF FIRE

  • Follow all local codes.

⚠ RISK GROUP 1 – CAUTION / ATTENTION – RAYONNEMENT LUMINEUX GROUPE 1

Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do not stare at operating lamp. May be harmful to the eyes

*See table below for risk groups by model.

These photobiological safety markings are based on testing of the light output characteristic of a single horticultural luminaire. Increased exposure risk to facility personnel may be present depending upon the number of horticultural luminaires and their placement and/or positioning within the plant growth facility.

It is the responsibility of the plant growth facility to address these risks at the facility level and to ensure that people entering the plant growth areas while the lights are on, are aware of these risks and that appropriate safeguards are in place.

Suitable for operation in an ambient temperature between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
A mechanical ventilation or cooling system is required to maintain the temperature within the growing space below 104°F (40°C) when the light module is in operation.

METHOD 1

Single Luminaire Installation

Before starting:
Luminaires must only be mounted using Current’s standard or slim mounting clips (see Components Required on page 3).

Mounting instructions using Current’s standard and slim mounting clips.

  1. Secure each luminaire mounting clip to a rigid flat mounting surface using two #10 (M5) self-tapping flathead screws along the intended run of luminaire.
    To avoid stress and damage to luminaire the entire mounting surface should be flat and the mounting clips be properly aligned. Refer to table on page 11 for required number of mounting clips per luminaire.
  2. Press the luminaire into its mounting clips so that the male connector is oriented towards the intended electrical supply.
    TIP: Align luminaire on one side of the mounting clips; then rotate the luminaire until it snaps into other side of the mounting clips.
    (Only for single luminaire installation)
    Alternately: The required mounting clips may first be pressed onto the luminaire, then the luminaire mounting clip assembly may be mounted on to the mounting surface using two #10 (M5) self-tapping flathead screws per mounting clip.
  3. Place the luminaire on the surface with the male connector oriented towards the intended electrical supply.
  4. If not already covered, insert an end cap into the female connector, and twist the end cap clockwise to secure.

METHOD 2

Directly Interconnected Luminaires

Before starting:
See Multiple Bar Installation Details to ensure you won’t exceed the maximum run length per leader cable. Luminaires must only be mounted using Current’s standard or slim mounting clips (see Components Required on page 3).

Linear Layout
NOTE: the recommended distance between two ends should be no more than 0.8″ (20mm) for better optical uniformity.

  1. Secure each luminaire mounting clip to a rigid flat mounting surface using two #10 (M5) self-tapping flathead screws along the intended run of luminaire. To avoid stress and damage to luminaire the entire mounting surface should be flat and the mounting clips properly aligned. Refer to table on page 8 for the required number of mounting clips per luminaire.
  2. Press the luminaire into its mounting clips so that the male connector is oriented towards the intended electrical supply. TIP: Align luminaire on one side of the mounting clips, then rotate the luminaire until it snaps into other side of the mounting clips.
  3. A Remove end cap from the female connector. Insert the male connector to the female connector. Make sure the connector is fully engaged as indicted by hearing a click.

    B Use a jumper cable to connect luminaires if the distance between them is too long.

    C Optional: Secure the cables using the optional cable clamp accessory.
    Go to METHOD 3 on page 7
  4. Insert an end cap into the female connector on the last luminaire in the run, and twist the end cap clockwise to secure.

METHOD 3

Wiring Connections
  1. Insert the female connector of the leader cable so that it fully engages the male connector of the first luminaire in the run as indicated by hearing a click.
    NOTE: the male connector can be cut off if there is no leader cable.
    See Multiple Bar Installation Details to not exceed maximum run length for one leader.
    To avoid damage, do not bend or otherwise exert excessive force on the connector during installation.
    See Components Required on page 3 for leader cable part number.
  2. Insert lead wire into junction box.
  3. Inside the junction box, connect the line and neutral wires of the AC supply source to the line (black or brown) and neutral (white or blue) wires of the leader cable using suitable wire nuts. If 0-10V dimming will not be used, cap the dimming wires (purple and gray) with suitable wire nuts. Do not connect the dimming wires together or to line, neutral, or ground. If 0-10V dimming will be used, proceed to Step 4.
  4. Connect the DIM + (purple) to the incoming dimmer circuit +. Connect the Dim ­ (pink) to the incoming dimmer circuit ­.
    Warning: The class 2 0-10V dimming circuit must be separated from the AC circuit as required by the applicable electric code.

For UL Only  ⚠ IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
  • Cables shall not be concealed or extended through a wall, floor, ceiling, or other parts of the building structure; located above a suspended ceiling or dropped ceiling; permanently affixed to the building structure.
  • Cables shall be routed so that they are not subject to strain and are protected from physical damage; visible over their entire length; and used within their rated ampacity as determined for the maximum temperature of the installed environment specified in the instructions.
  • Before applying power, ensure that any open female connectors in the installation are sealed with an end cap. (see Method 1, step 4)
