Product Care & Maintenance
• Ensure power is off before installation begins, during replacements, additions,
or repairs.
• Do not use luminaires if damaged, such as broken boards, loose connections, or
frayed wire insulation. Inspect before installing.
• Do not install luminaires in hazardous locations.
• Do not cover luminaires with any material. Covering may cause LEDs to overheat,
melt, or ignite.
• Do not paint on or over fixture lens or LEDs.
Paint or any other substance on lens or LEDs will cause a shift in color temperature.
• Soffit must be evenly painted with a neutral white to avoid color shift.
• Do not modify luminaires in the field.
• Do not overlap luminaires in any way.
(Fig. 1)
• Luminaires have line voltage risk of shock. Consult factory for any malfunctions.
Do not attempt to repair.
• Only use luminaire with specified rated voltages. Do not exceed the specified
voltage for any luminaire.
• Do not use extrusion as a raceway for additional wire. Non-factory feed through
wires inside luminaire will void warranty.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protections should be provided on circuits
or outlets when luminaire is used for outdoor applications.
• Surge protector must be set up for electrical power system to avoid damaging
lighting system.
• Do not make wiring connections without referring to wiring diagrams.
• Do not cut wire while energized.
(Fig. 2)
• Do not exceed maximum run lengths.
• Always follow sequence labeling for continuous runs. Continuous run segments
are labeled in alphabetical order.
• Polarity of continuous run segments must be aligned.
• Do not assemble continuous runs prior to installing into mounting clips.
Each segment must be installed one by one into mounting clips. The weight of
the assembled segments will put strain on junctions, causing the board, pin, or
terminals to break.
• Do not install continuous runs without a mounting clip at each junction between
two segments.
• Do not secure luminaire with nails or like means that might damage the wiring
inside. Only secure by using mounting clips.
• Do not mount luminaire inside tanks or enclosures of any kind.
• Do not install downward facing luminaires without set screws.
• Do not use improper screw head type on mounting clips. It will cause the
mounting clip to open up and become dysfunctional.
• Do not modify mounting clips.
• Do not weld mounting clips to surface. Mounting clips must be mechanically
attached with screws appropriate for mounting surface and weight of luminaire.
• Do not mount fixture with less than the minimum number of mounting clips
required. See mounting clips section for details.
• Do not install mounting clips on uneven surfaces. Use shims to level out height
of mounting clips if necessary.
• Do not install mounting clips after luminaires have been assembled.
Install mounting clips first, then install luminaire into mounting clips.
• Do not force luminaire into a space that is too small.
• Do not force luminaire with cord grip into soffit.
(Fig. 3)
• Do not install luminaire at an angle within a cove. Only install fixtures straight
within a cove. (Fig. 4)
• Do not bend extrusion around radius.
• Do not submerge dry or wet location luminaire in any liquid.
• Do not install wet location in outdoor coves without proper drainage.
(Fig. 5)
• Do not install luminaire in any area that is continuously exposed to flowing or
pooling water, such as underneath drain pipes, sprinklers, fountains, misters, etc.
• Do not cut, puncture, or penetrate aluminum housing, end caps, or lens covers.
• Do not drop, bang, or rest weight upon luminaire.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to any part of luminaire.
• Do not remove end caps from luminaire.
• Do not bend power cord or continuous connector past permitted bend radius.
Bending past permitted bend radius will break the seal of the cordgrip or
damage the insulation. (Fig. 6)
Wet Location: 3.5” minimum bend radius
Dry Location: 1.5” minimum bend radius
• Do not install in places where the power cord is subject to continuous flexing.
• Do not twist continuous connector or power cord.
• Do not hold, carry, or suspend luminaire by the power cord.
• Do not install on ceilings without mounting clips and set screws.
(Fig. 7)
When using luminaires for any application, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury. Luminaires must be installed in accordance with the
NEC or CEC as applicable. ALUZ will not be responsible for damage or
malfunction caused by the following:

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
• Do not reset the breaker multiple times.
• If the unit is overloaded, the breaker will trip, shutting off the driver and lights.
• If the breaker reset button has been held down by hand or any type of pressure,
such as duct tape, or if the breaker has been reset multiple times without
troubleshooting, the unit will:
- Burn the driver bobbin.
- Burn the thermal or magnetic breaker.
- Burn the driver lead wires due to high amperage caused by overload.
- Short circuit in line which will not allow the breaker to reset.
- Damage the lighting.
CONTINUITY TEST
A continuity test is performed to determine if electricity can pass through
two points on an electrical circuit. This helps identify shorts or malfunctions
in the luminaire. Use a multimeter or continuity tester to perform the steps below.
• Always perform a continuity test before connecting to power source.
• Malfunctions are not always as obvious as the lights not turning on.
• A short or malfunction in the line or luminaire will cause damage over time,
irreparably damaging the lighting and voiding warranty.
12
3Measure area where luminaire will be installed. Use a laser line to create
a reference line along installation area, ensuring consistent alignment
of mounting channels. Mark location where mounting channels will be
installed along reference line.
2
Check for metal particles or other foreign objects causing the short.
3
Check to make sure cuts in the lightstrip are clean and not frayed, causing
positive and negative copper pads to touch.
1
Turn off power before beginning. Verify power is off by using a non-contact
circuit tester (by others). Touch the probe of the tester to the positive wire of
the power source. The tester will light up if an electrical current is detected.
2
Setup your multimeter tester (by others). First, insert the black probe lead
into the COM jack, then insert the red probe lead into the VΩjack.
1
Turn off power before beginning. Check for any twisting or damage to the
circuit in the LED lightstrip. If there is excessive damage and the circuit is
broken, the lightstrip must be replaced.
4Touch the red probe to the luminaire extrusion and the black probe to the
ground wire (green). If the luminaire is properly grounded, the multimeter
will beep, flash, or read 0Ω(ohms). If there is no conductive path, the
multimeter will not show any feedback. Troubleshoot to identify the
malfunction in the ground wire.
5Touch the red probe to any wire and the black probe to each other wire.
Repeat process for each wire. If a conductive path is formed between any of
the wires, the multimeter will beep, flash, or read 0Ω(ohms). Troubleshoot
to identify the malfunction in the line. If there is no conductive path, the
multimeter will not show any feedback.
Example: Check for continuity between Wire 2 and Wire 4
6Touch the red probe to the luminaire housing and the black probe to each
wire except ground. If a conductive path is formed between the housing
and any of the wires, the multimeter will beep, flash, or read 0Ω(ohms).
Troubleshoot to identify the malfunction in the line. If there is no conductive
path, the multimeter will not show any feedback.
7Set multimeter to AC voltage and test power source. Confirm the correct
voltage before connecting luminaire to power source. If the voltage reading
is more than 1 volt greater than the marked output voltage, there is a
problem with the power source or driver.
8Connect luminaire to power source. If LEDs do not turn on, troubleshoot to
find the problem in the line.
