Mount LED driver and remove
junction box cover. Carefully remove
knockout for AC line input wires. Install
appropriate electrical ttings in the
knockout holes for wire protection.
Connect the AC line to the black
(line) and white (neutral) input
wires of the LED driver using

NOTE: For CSA approval, a disconnect/toggle switch of appropriate rating needs to be placed within 29.5 ft. (9 m) of primary side of the
power supply. The minimum rating of the switch must be either 120 or 220 Volts AC. The switch must also support twice the amount of
input current.
NOTE: When installing power supply, connect to the appropriate sized building breaker or disconnect device for line and neutral
connections, in accordance with local, state or country regulations.
NOTE: Exceeding maximum load will cause the power supply to shut down. Once the excess load is removed, cycle the input power to
restart the power supply.
