CAST Lighting Impressionist Series User manual

1. Large Talon Stake Mounting Instructions.
CAST Impressionist LED Directional Area Light (CIDA140) includes (1)
Large Talon Stake (CTSL1).
• To assemble stake, insert flat end of each spike into stake body recepta-
cles. Secure set screws with 3/32” hex bit.
• Prepare turf or bed area by removing plant material or mulch to attain a
firm soil surface of about 6” diameter. Tamp down soil and test with bubble
level to ensure surface is level. If desired (for aesthetic reasons), Talon
Stake body can be set 1” below grade then covered with soil or mulch.
• Position stake so wire opening faces wire trench.
• Drive stake into ground prior to attaching fixture. Use rubber or dead blow
mallet to drive talon into ground. Strike directly above each spike in turn,
driving stake into ground in steady increments to ensure pins enter verti-
cally. Continue striking until body is firmly seated in soil.
• Extend narrow trench to directly beneath center of stake. Insert fixture
lead wire through wire opening. Insert fixture stem into stake receptacle.
Secure thumb screw. Back-fill wire trench and, if needed, cover stake with
soil or mulch.
2. Small Talon Stake Mounting Instructions.
CAST Impressionist LED Directional Light (CID140) includes (1) Small Talon
Stake (CTSS1).
• To assemble stake, screw spikes into stake body. Tighten securely with
vise grip.
• Follow instructions for Large Talon Stake, except prepare a smaller soil
surface area for seating the stake.
3. Tree Mounting Instructions.
CAST Impressionist LED Tree Light (CIT164) includes Tree Mounting
Hardware (CTREEH1).
• EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING IN ABOVE-GRADE
ENVIRONMENTS.
• Attach Tree Mounting Bracket to tree prior to attaching fixture. Holding
bracket in place with wire opening facing down, mark screw hole locations.
Put bracket aside. Using deep 3/8” drive socket and drill, drive screws into
tree until 1/4” thread is exposed.
• Place bracket over screws and secure provided nuts.
• Insert wire through opening and fixture into bracket. Secure thumb screw.
• Run wire down tree and secure with cable ties attached with stainless steel
screws or screw eyes. DO NOT USE “U” STAPLES TO SECURE WIRE TO
TREE.

1. OPTICS REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS.
CAST Impressionist LED Directional (CID140) and Directional Area Lights
(CIDA140) come with 40º optics. CAST Impressionist LED Tree Light (CIT164)
comes with 64º optics.
• DO NOT CHANGE OPTICS IN RAIN, MIST, OR FOG as this may lead to excessive
moisture inside the fixture. Only perform in a relatively dry environment. Changing
the optics in rain, mist, or fog may void the warranty.
• PREVENT DUST AND OTHER FINE PARTICULATES FROM ENTERING LED
COMPARTMENT as this may diminish optical performance.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LED CHIP OR OPTICAL SURFACES - use a fine brush or com-
pressed air to remove dust from surfaces. Evidence of physical damage to LED chip
or optical elements voids the warranty.
• To remove optics, loosen shroud thumbscrew. Remove shroud. Grasp black optical
module and pull away from fixture (do not turn module).
• To replace optics, grasp new optical module. Look at the underside of the module
to check location of two pin holes. Align pin holes with pins on LED board and push
in place. Replace shroud and secure thumb screw.
2. LIGHT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS.
All CAST Impressionist Series fixtures have built-in light level control. This can be
activated in two ways - using the provided Manual Dimmer Control Jumper Cable
or with the CAST Impressionist Dimmer Control (CDIMMER). Both of these devices
plug into the Fixture Control Plug located on the fixture lead wire.
• Manual Dimmer Control Jumper Cable (CIJ). Plugging this device into the fix-
ture wire Control Plug will activate the dimming (up or down) sequence. Each time
the device is plugged in (while fixture is powered) the dimming cycle reverses. As
long as the device is plugged in, the fixture will dim up or down until the maxi-
mum (100%) or minimum (5%) is reached. If the plug is left in place for 15 sec.
after either of these limits are reached, then the fixture resets to 100%. When the
device is unplugged, the fixture retains the specific light level even when not pow-
ered.
• CAST Impressionist Dimmer Control (CDIMMER). Connect CDIMMER plug to
fixture wire Control Plug. Switch unit “ON”. Depress and hold “DIM” button to dim
light up or down. Each time button is depressed, dimming direction reverses. To
bring fixture to 100%, depress and hold button for 15 sec. Store unit in cool dry
place. Change batteries yearly.

3. FILTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Filters can be added to all CAST LED Directional
Lights. Only one filter can be added at a time -
1.46” diameter by 1.1 mm thickness (such as CAST
Impressionist Dichroic Color and Diffusion Filters).
• Loosen shroud thumb screw. Remove shroud. Place
filter on top of optic module. Replace shroud.
• WARNING - Risk of Electric Shock. Install
all luminaires less than 10 ft. (3.05 m) or
more from a pool, spa, or fountain.
• Follow NEC guidelines for outdoor low volt-
age wiring.
• Obey all local electrical codes and require-
ments.
• Use only 25A/circuit 12-volt power supply.
• A luminaire shall not use tungsten halogen
lamps unless the luminaire is marked for
such lamps.
Electrical Requirements
Input Voltage:
10-24V AC/DC
Power Supply*:
Must use a toroidal magnetic
transformer to supply low
voltage power (such as CAST
Journeyman, Master, and
Perimeter Series).
Wire:
For maximum system lon-
gevity, use tin-coated
marine-grade wire (such as
CAST No-Ox® Wire).
Connectors:
For connecting single or
multiple wires, use robust
waterproof connectors and
junctions (such as CAST
Spider Splice Junction
Box and CAST Butt Crimp
Connectors).
*Use of approved power sup-
ply activates extended war-
ranty.
Electrical Consumption:
Wattage: 4.9 W
Power Factor: 0.7
Volt-Amps: 7.0 VA
(for wire and transformer
sizing; and voltage loss cal-
culations)
• The luminaire’s low voltage cable shall:
a. be protected by routing in close proximity
to the luminaire or fitting, or next to a build-
ing structure such as a house or deck;
b. not be buried except for a maximum 6
inches (15.2 cm) in order to connect to the
main low voltage cable.; and,
c. have the length cut off so that it is con-
nected to a connector within 6 inches (15.2
cm (from a building structure, a luminaire,
or fitting.
• Contact only switch or plug when turning
system on or off at transformer.
• Do not look directly into a lighted lamp.
• Do not operate the lighting fixture if dam-
aged.
• Do not mount stake mounted fixtures in
tree application. Use Tree-Mount fixture
only!!
