Product Information and Warnings

IMPORTANT

• Always disconnect the power ?❌ before installing or replacing Luminaires and before cleaning or other maintenance.
• Consult a qualified, licensed electrician ?‍♂️ to ensure correct branch circuit conductor.
• (French: Consulter un électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que les conducteurs de la dérivation sont adéquats.)
• Please read all included assembly instructions and warnings carefully before installation. Contact Customer Service if you have any questions or concerns. Before installation, please confirm that the fixture is compatible with your supply voltage and dimming system, if present.
• LEDs are highly sensitive electronic devices, and must be treated with care. Do not open any factory sealed compartments, and avoid touching the LEDs with your hands or any object.
• Although all our fixtures are equipped with protective devices, LED electronic systems are vulnerable to power surges and supply variations. Do not install LED fixtures on the same circuit as any motors, appliances, or HVAC systems.
• Remote LED Driver installation must be done by a licensed electrician and in accordance with local building and electrical codes. Remote installations should be in an accessible location, as close to the fixture as possible. The appropriate wire gauge must be used to limit the voltage drop to avoid overloading the LED Driver.
• Any mounting hardware is provided for your convenience and should be used with discretion. Always use the appropriate hardware for the mounting surface.

Preparing and installing cable grippers

Step 1: Mapping and Initial Setup

1. Use Fig. 1 (top view of the assembly) to map the locations and install the Canopy (P1 / P2), and provided Anchors (A-F).
2. Note the perimeter of the fully assembled fixture relative to the center of the canopy.

Fig. 1 - Top View: A diagram showing the top-down layout of the fixture assembly, indicating dimensions, canopy placement (P1/P2), and anchor points (A-F). It illustrates the overall span and positioning relative to the ceiling. Fig. 1-B: A perspective view showing the assembled fixture's suspension points (A-F) and their relationship to the back plane, indicating the fixture's volume and height adjustment reference (Subassembly P1). Note the Back plane is labeled to help orient the components and determine the orientation of connectors during assembly.

Step 2: Installing Cable Grippers

1. Cable grippers come pre-installed to the Caps with cable. Remove this part to prepare for the installation. Press the plunger of the Post to remove cable.
2. Unthread Mounting Bracket from Post.
3. Install the Mounting Brackets to the ceiling with Anchors ⚓ and Screws ?, then screw the Posts ? onto the Mounting Brackets (Fig. 2).

CAUTION: Customer is responsible for ensuring appropriate ceiling construction to support the weight of the fixture.

4. Proceed to assembly steps on Page 6 - Page 9 before installing the cable to the Posts.
5. Insert the Cable ? into the Post and adjust to the required height: to shorten, push the cable up ⬆️; to lengthen, push in the plunger while pulling down on the Cable, release the plunger to lock. Cut off the excess cable where it exits the Post.

CAUTION: Do not cut off excess cable until after the final step when the configuration is fully assembled and leveled.

Canopy installation

1. Shut off power ?❌ to the Outlet Box (A).
2. Secure the mounting plate (B) into the ceiling using included screws (C).
3. Make appropriate electrical connections using wire nuts ?. If wires need to be cut, see Appendix A for instructions on stripping the coaxial cable. Note: Use included large wire nuts.
   • a. Connect the LED driver's (D) live wire to the live supply wire.
   • b. Connect the LED driver's (D) neutral wire to the neutral supply wire.
   • c. Connect fixture's ground wire (green or uncoated) to the ground outlet box wire.
   • d. Carefully place connections in outlet box (A).
4. Feed the power cords (E) through the correct holes in the canopy (F) and bushings (G) on mounting plate (B) to approximate desired height plus 1 inch and tighten with set screws (H) using included screwdriver (J). This can be adjusted to the desired height later. Note: Bottom of assembled fixture will be 45 inches below the top of the cap resting on the strain relief knot.
5. For each cord (E), connect the cord inner conductor to one of the driver positive (+) output wire and connect the cord outer conductor to the driver negative (-) output wire. Note: DO NOT UNTIE STRAIN RELIEF KNOTS.
6. Reserve extra cord in canopy (F).
7. Attach canopy (F) to mounting plate (B), and secure with canopy nuts (K).

Diagram shows the canopy (F) being attached to the mounting plate (B) with electrical connections being made within the outlet box (A). Components labeled include Outlet Box (A), Mounting Plate (B), Screws (C), LED Driver (D), Power Cords (E), Canopy (F), Bushings (G), Set Screws (H), Screwdriver (J), and Canopy Nuts (K).

Connecting Fixture Elements

1. Align the tooth on the luminaire (A) with one of the gaps on the connector (B) and insert partially.
2. Rotate the outer collar of the connector (C) counter-clockwise to tighten onto the luminaire. Luminaire should sit rigid when fully tightened (Fig. 3). Note: Connectors have "short" and "long" ends; this is very important to identify while connecting the fixture together.

Fig. 3: Illustrates the connection of a luminaire (A) to a connector (B) by aligning a tooth and rotating the collar (C). It highlights the 5mm milled back section on Unpowered Arms required to accommodate the connector.

Appendix A: Coax Splicing

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

Coaxial Power Cord:

If field-cutting is required, please follow these instructions:

Diagram showing Coaxial Power Cord structure: Illustrates the Outer Braided Conductor, Inner Stranded Conductor, Insulation, and Outer Jacket, with an End View.

1. Make a 1" slice along the length of the cord's outer jacket (Fig. 1). CAUTION: Do not cut through the outer braided conductor.
2. Carefully strip the outer jacket of the cord and keep the outer braided conductors intact (Fig. 1).
3. Slide the outer braided conductor back to create a bulge and reveal the inner stranded conductor (Fig. 2).
4. Bend the cord to create an opening through the bunched-up portion of outer braided conductor, then pull out the inner stranded conductor (Fig. 3).
5. Twist together the outer braided conductor to form the negative wire of the fixture, then strip 5/8" off the end of the inner stranded conductor to form the positive wire of the fixture (Fig. 4).
6. Re-splice all power cords.
