6System Overview
CabLite® ECO is a general downlighting system for use in passenger, residential and freight elevator
cabs operating from one to twelve downlight. CabLite® ECO high output, long life low voltage LED
downlights provide general interior lighting that meets or exceeds ASME A17.1, local, state and federal
codes.
There are 3 options for the CabLite ECO system:
•ECO
•ECO with dimming
•ECO with dimming and emergency lighting
6.1 Downlights
Each downlight is equipped with 2 connectors (located on the top of the can) for chaining up to 12 lights
together. The 2 connectors are interchangeable so it does not matter which cable is connected to it. See
Figure 1 - Downlight Connectors. Each downlight has 2 spring loaded clips that hold the light tight to the
ceiling panel.

6.2 CabLite ECO
The CabLite ECO is our very basic lighting system consisting of the following:
•1 to 12 downlights
•24VDC power supply (mounted in gang box)
•One 8’ cable for connecting first downlight
•One 4’ cable for each additional downlight
•Gang box and cover

•Installation Manual
6.3 CabLite ECO with Dimming Option
•1 to 12 downlights
•Dimmer board (factory wired and mounted in gang box)
•24VDC power supply (factory wired and mounted in gang box)
•One 8’ cable for connecting first downlight (factory wired and located in gang box)
•One 4’ cable for each additional downlight
•Gang box and cover
•Installation Manual
This option allows for setting a desired brightness level for the cab by adjusting potentiometer located on
the Dimming board. There is also a connection on the board for an optional remote potentiometer
(customer provided) so brightness levels can be manually adjusted without having to access the car top.
The AC voltage input of the power supply (Brown = LINE, Blue = NEU) is left free for the customer to
decide how to connect. Figure 8 - CabLite ECO with Dimming Wiring shows wire nuts.
The 24VDC power supply output is prewired at the factory to the Dimmer Board. The Dimmer board has
a 12” cable prewired to the LIGHTING Output of the Dimmer board. It has a two pin connector for easy
connection to the 8’ cable of the first downlight.
6.3.1 Dimmer Board
The Dimmer Board (Figure 2 - Dimmer Board) allows for adjusting light level using the BROGHTNESS
potentiometer located on the board. The board comes factory prewired for easy installation.
6.3.1.1 Dimmer Board Connections
•Pin 1 is +24VDC output from supply (RED wire)
•Pin 2 is -24VDC output from supply (BLACK wire)
•Pin 3 is “+” LED output
•Pin 4 is “-“ LED output
•Pins 5 & 6 are for an optional external potentiometer (Customer provided) for setting brightness
level in place of using on board potentiometer.

6.4 CabLite ECO with Dimming and Emergency Lighting Option
This option allows for brightness control and emergency lighting. Included with this option:
•1 to 12 downlights
•Emergency Light board (factory wired and mounted in gang box)
•24VDC power supply (factory wired and mounted in gang box)
•12 Volt Battery (Factory wired w/ + side disconnected)
•Two 8’ cables for connecting first downlights (factory wired and located in gang box)
•One 4’ cable for each additional downlight
•Gang box and cover
•Installation Manual
This option allows for brightness settings and emergency lighting (2 downlights). In addition, there is a
standby mode that will turn off all downlights when cab is not in use. This is achieved with a key switch
connected to the STBY input pins 9 & 10.
6.4.1 CabLite ECO Emergency Board Connections
Refer to Figure 3 - CabLite ECO Emergency Board
•Pin 1 (IN +) is +24VDC input power (RED Wire)
•Pin 2 (IN-) is -24VDC input (BLACK Wire)
•Pin 3 (OUT+) is + output for general power (AC present) Downlight String (RED Wire)
•Pin 4 (OUT-) is –output for general power downlight string (BLACK Wire)
•Pin 5 & 6 is for external potentiometer (customer provided) for brightness adjustment
•Pin 7 (EM+) is + output for EMERGENCY downlight string (2 downlights) (RED wire)
•Pin 8 (EM-) is –output for EMERGENCY downlight string (2 downlights) (Black wire)
•Pin 9 & 10 (STBY) –is for external key switch that turns all downlights off when pin 9 & 10 are
closed. When closed EMERGENCY downlights will light only if AC power is lost.
•Pin 11 (BAT+) + side connection to battery
•Pin 12 (BAT-) –side connection to battery
•Pin 13 is FAULT relay common
•Pin 14 is Normally Closed contact of fault relay: Contacts open (between Common pin 13) when
there is a Battery Fault
•Pin 15 is the Normally open contact of the fault relay: Contacts close (between Common pin 13)
when there is a battery fault.

is fully charged.
•FAULT –The fault LED lights when there is a problem with the battery. Wrong voltage or not
charging.
7Installation
Be sure all power is turned off before starting installation.
Locate the positions where you want each downlight and drill the ceiling panels according to the
specifications for your downlight listed in sections 7.1 and 7.2.
Be sure there is a minimum 1” clearance between the top of the downlight can and the cab
top to accommodate the connectors. See Figure 6 - Installation example

7.3 CabLite ECO Wiring Diagram
Figure 7 - CabLite ECO Wiring Diagram
Wire power supply as shown in Figure 7 - CabLite ECO Wiring Diagram.
•AC IN line –Brown wire on power supply
•AC IN neutral –Blue wire on power supply
•DC OUT + is RED wire of 8’ cable
•DC OUT –is BLACK wire of 8’ cable
Route the 8’ cable to the first downlight and connect remaining downlights with 4’ cables. The two
connectors on the downlights are interchangeable so cable connection does not matter.
Once wiring is complete and cover is on power supply box, apply power to lighting system. Check that
all downlights are lit.

As previously mentioned the CabLite system power supply and dimming board are pre-wired from the
factory. Route AC power through one of the punch outs of the gang box and secure cable to box with
appropriate hardware. Connect AC in as shown in Figure 8 - CabLite ECO with Dimming Wiring.
•AC IN line –Brown wire on power supply
•AC IN neutral –Blue wire on power supply
Route the 8’ cable through another punch out of the gang box and secure to box using proper hardware.
Connect the 8’ cable to the first downlight and the remaining downlights with the 4’ cables. The two
connectors on the downlights are interchangeable so cable connection does not matter.
Apply power to lighting system and adjust brightness using the potentiometer on the Diming board. (See
Figure 2 - Dimmer Board).
When complete install cover to power unit.
7.5 CabLite ECO w/ Dimming & Emergency Wiring
Figure 9 - CabLite ECO w/ Dimming & Emergency Wiring
As previously mentioned the CabLite system power supply and dimming board are pre-wired from the
factory. The BATTERY negative terminal is prewired to the control board and the positive terminal is
left disconnected. Route AC power through one of the punch outs of the gang box and secure cable to
box with appropriate hardware. Connect AC in as shown in Figure 9 - CabLite ECO w/ Dimming &
Emergency Wiring.
•AC IN line –Brown wire on power supply
•AC IN neutral –Blue wire on power supply
Route the 8’ cable through another punch out of the gang box and secure to box using proper hardware.
Connect the 8’ cable to the first downlight and the remaining downlights with the 4’ cables. The two
connectors on the downlights are interchangeable so cable connection does not matter.

The EMERGENCY lights are connected through a second 8’ cable as shown in Figure 9. There should
be two and only two downlights connected for emergency. Connecting more than two will shorten the
emergency lighting time.
With all downlights connected, remove the plastic cover from the POS terminal of the battery and connect
RED wire from control board to battery POS terminal. The EMERGENCY downlights should light at
this time.
Apply AC power to CabLite system. All downlights should light. Adjust the brightness of the
downlights through the potentiometer on the control board. See Figure 3 - CabLite ECO Emergency
Board.
When complete replace cover.
Allow 24 hours for battery to fully charge
