Align adjacent xtures
6Suspend xture
Insert other end of suspension cable through grip-
per and suspend xture at designated spot. Make
sure male joint of one section faces female joint of
other section.
Fixture sections will be labeled if required to feed
power cables from one section to another. To con-
nect power, route power cable to adjoining xture
and pass through to the indirect side. For ceiling
mount xtures, this step has to be completed before
mounting xture to ceiling.
7Feed power cable through adjoining section

Align male and female connectors of adjacent
xtures and pull wire into xture so that there is no
slack around rotating connectors. Lilghtly tighten set
screws with 5/64" hex key so rotating joints remain
connected but can still be adjusted. For ceiling
mount version, similary align connectors while
mounting. Make sure wires do not get pinched
between parts.
8Connect wires
Connect wires from adjacent section to lever nuts
on the indirect side. Pull lever up, insert wire and
press lever down. Make sure there are no loose
connections and polarity is correct.
SHOCK HAZARD! May result in serious injury or
death. Turn power OFF at circuit breaker prior to
installation or servicing.

nal/record drawing). Follow steps 2-3 to install "Canopy"
J-Box and Remote Driver J-Box and run wiring.
Installation: Ceiling Mount
19 Install Non-Power Feed Cleat Bosses
Install two non-power feed Cleat Bosses either directly
into framing/blocking, onto a 1/4"-20 rod, or using toggle
bolts. Use a 1/2" washer (0.05-0.069" thickness) between
Cleat Boss and ceiling.
23 Install Non-Power Feed Cleat Bosses
Insert Retaining Pins, ensuring that they "click" into place
around Boss and sit in gap between Mount Bracket and
Collar of Boss. CAUTION: Do NOT pinch wires during this
process.

Troubleshooting
Full Fixture does not illuminate • Ensure xture is wired correctly and power is on.
• Check that circuit breaker is on and not off or tripped.
• LED driver may be defective.
• Ensure no wires are pinched between parts after joining connec-
tors.
Full xture is ickering • 0-10V, DMX, and DALI Dimming Models: Ensure polarity is correct for
DATA + and - connections. Swapping DATA + and - connections can
cause ickering.
• TRIAC Dimming Models: Ensure a compatible TRIAC Forward Phase
dimmer is connected to xture. Call tech support for further informa-
tion.
• Possible loose DATA + and - connections from xture to 0-10V, DMX,
or DALI control.
• Possible loose low voltage DC + or - connection from driver to LED.
Call customer support.

• Possible loose low voltage DC + or - connection between LED
boards or from LED driver to LED boards.
• Some xtures need multiple LED drivers. In this case, it’s possible one
of the drivers is defective, which will cause the LED connected to
the driver not to illuminate. Call tech support.
• Ensure no wires are pinched between parts after joining connec-
tors.
• Possible loose low voltage DC + or - connection between LED
boards.
• 0-10V, DMX, and DALI Dimming Models: Ensure polarity is correct
for DATA + and - connections. Swapping DATA + and - connections
can cause ickering.
