INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE: VERIFY CORRECT LUMINAIRE WAS RECEIVED WITH
CORRECT COLOR TEMPERATURE, VOLTAGE, AND WATTAGE BEFORE CUTTING OR
INSTALLING. CALI WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF INCORRECT LUMINAIRE IS INSTALLED.
READ ENTIRE GUIDE BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION
• Electric Hammer Drills (optional)
• 14.4 to 28 Volt Cordless Drills
• Phillips Bits - Sufficient Quantity
• Utility Knife
• Electrical Cords
• Marker
• Wire Strippers
• Long Nose Pliers
• Drill Bits - Concrete or Wood
• Electrical Three Ways
• Safety Glasses
• Measuring Tapes
• Chalk Line
• ALS500T-RMW can be mounted to concrete, wood, or metal using proper

• Ensure surface material can support the weight of the luminaire.
ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
INSTALLATION TOOL REQUIRED
• ALS500T-RMW requires a remote driver. The driver may be mounted on
top of the luminaire or in a remote location.
• Drivers are 120V - 277V (UNV) Input Voltage and 24VDC Output Voltage
• To calculate driver size, determine Watts per Foot.
Example: 4W per Foot
• Determine Length in Feet.
Example: 20’
• To calculate Load, Multiply Watts per Foot x Length in Feet
Example: 4W x 20’= 80W. The Load of the driver is 80 Watts.
• Maximum load for a Class 2 low voltage luminaire is 96 Watts

F
Driver: The driver is typically mounted on top of the first luminaire
segment of a run. The driver may also be mounted elsewhere. Each run
typically has its own driver.
GContinuous Connection: Each luminaire segment is built with quick
disconnects to easily connect to the next segment in line.

After all luminaires are mounted, adjust height and levelness of each luminaire
by tightening or loosening hex nuts on Hanging Bracket assembly. Use a dummy
piece of drywall to perfect the height at which the luminaires will rest.
The drywall will be tucked into the gap between the Hard Ceiling Trim and the
concealed ceiling grid when hung.
Note: One person holds the luminaire and another person adjusts hex nuts.
12
Secure a tie wire to each Hanging Bracket Arm after luminaires are set in place.
Note: Refer to the diagrams on page 3 for details.
13
If applicable, position the driver in the center of luminaire and secure using set
screws (by others). Do not mount drivers between luminaires.
Note: Driver size and location of mounting holes may differ from below example.
14
Make wiring connections from driver to 1st PCB. Pull lead wires from luminaire
and make splice connections to lead wires from driver. Verify wiring diagram
before connecting.
15
Verify driver wire colors from wiring diagram, then connect luminaires to power
source. Drivers used for this product vary. Always confirm wiring diagram from
driver installation instructions before connecting.
17
Apply mud to Wall Trim until completely covered and smooth. Allow to dry
completely before painting or sanding. Do not use pre-mixed mud compounds.
18
After all installation steps are complete and lighting is confirmed to be working,
install reflective film to runs.
Note: Follow the steps on page 14 to install reflective film.

sturdy surface, such as studs, using hardware (by others) that is rated for the
weight of the luminaire. Ensure each luminaire is appropriately balanced.
Note: Do not hang luminaire from weak material such as drywall or plywood.
6
Secure Aircraft Cable Assemblies to mounting surface. The top of the assembly
should rest approximately 5” above ceiling line. Adjust position of assembly along
aircraft cable using cable gripper. Do not trim excess cable at this time.
