SynchronizingFixtures
The Gen3 Fixtures are “smart” fixtures that synchronize and start simultaneously when power is applied to one
or more Power Boxes. For dimming installations, this feature is enabled automatically. However, for non-dimming
installations, you can enable this feature by tying all white wires (Dim+), then repeating this step for the green wires
(Dim-). You do not need to connect these wires to the Power Box unless you want to synchronize multiple Power Boxes,
which you can do by using i2Systems Dimming Cables and linking Power Boxes together (no dimmer is necessary).

The LED bar graph will indicate the current dim level, based on 0 to 10V levels. The LL-205-10V reads these levels and
translates them to i2Systems LightLink protocol, adjusting the light intensity of the connected Gen3 Fixtures from 1%
to 100% (less than 1V is equal to 0% and greater than 9V is equal to 100%).
Use the Dimming Cables as specified on page 8 to combine or “daisy-chain” Power Boxes to a single LL-205-10V,
making sure you connect the Dimming Cable Drain Wire as shown above.

Gen3 Installation Guide
1.1 Limited Warranty. Products are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship and to conform substantially to i2Systems'
then-current (as of the date of Product shipment) user documentation and specifications for a period of three (3) years from the date of invoice
(the “Warranty Period”), provided the Products are used under those operating conditions (including electrical values and environmental conditions)
described in i2Systems' then-current user documentation and specifications for such Products. i2Systems shall not be liable under the foregoing
warranty if Buyer fails to provide i2Systems with notice of the alleged defect during the Warranty Period.
1.2 Remedies. In the event a Product does not comply with the foregoing express warranty, Buyer may notify i2Systems within the Warranty Period and
if so notified i2Systems will, at i2Systems' option: (a) provide a replacement for such Product or defective component or part thereof that has caused
the warranty claim (such Product or defective component or part thereof that has caused the warranty claim, the “Warranty Item”); or (b) refund to
Buyer the lesser of (1) the amount Buyer paid for the Warranty Item, or (2) Buyer’s cost to replace the Warranty Item, in each case as determined by
i2Systems in its sole and absolute discretion following receipt and inspection by i2Systems of the Warranty Item. For the avoidance of doubt, “provided
a replacement for such Product or defective component or part thereof” expressly does not include any removal or reinstallation costs or expenses,
including without limitation labor costs or expenses. All exchanged Warranty Items shall become the property of i2Systems. i2Systems may use either
new or remanufactured, reconditioned or refurbished components or parts (if in like-new condition), or functionally equivalent components or parts,
in the furnishing of replacement(s) for any Warranty Item. i2Systems' warranty flows only to Buyer of the products. If i2Systems chooses to replace the
Product and is not able to do so because it has been discontinued or is not available, i2Systems may replace it with a comparable product.
1.3 Limitations. The foregoing warranty is limited, and does not extend to, and i2Systems shall incur no liability for: (a) lumen maintenance of the
Products; (b) color shift of light output of the Products; (c) degradation or discoloration of the Product housing(s); (d) mechanical or cosmetic
deterioration of the Products associated with normal wear and tear. For clarity and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the foregoing
warranty does not apply if a Product’s light module continuously generates light at any intensity, regardless of whether such intensity has decreased
since the date of first use of such Product [(viz., warranty coverage only applies in the event that such light module generates no light or generates light
intermittently)]. This limited warranty only applies when the product has been properly wired and installed and operated within the electrical values,
operating range and environmental conditions provided in the Specifications. This warranty does not apply to damage or failure to perform arising as a
result of any Acts of God or from any abuse, misuse, abnormal use or use in violation of any applicable standard, code, or instructions for use including
those contained in the latest National Electrical Code, the Standards for Safety of Underwriters Laboratory, Inc., the Standards for the American National
Standards Institute or, in Canada, the Canadian Standards Association. This Warranty shall become void in the event any repairs or alternations not duly
authorized by i2Systems in writing are made to the Product by any person.
Buyer shall convey with each Product distributed to end users this LIMITED WARRANTY, and if i2Systems determines that the appropriate remedy for a
defective product is refund of Buyer’s purchase price, Buyer shall refund to the end user (or arrange for the refund to the end user of) the full purchase
price paid by the end user for such defective Product.
With respect to Products sold to the Buyer by i2Systems but not bearing i2Systems' name or sub-brand name, I2SYSTEMS MAKES NO WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, but will make available to the Buyer upon request but only to the extent permitted by law and relevant contracts, the warranties of the
manufacturer of the relevant product.
1.4 Exclusions; Buyer Indemnification. The foregoing warranty shall be void with respect to defective conditions or non-conformities of the Products
resulting from: (a) modifications of Products not authorized by i2Systems; (b) misuse, neglect, accident or abuse, improper wiring, repairing, splicing,
alteration, installation, storage or maintenance; (c) use in a manner not in accordance with i2Systems' published operating specifications or instructions
for the applicable Products; (d) Product defects caused by Buyer’s combination of the Products with equipment provided or manufactured by third party
vendors (unless i2Systems is advised, in writing, of such proposed combination and i2Systems thereafter consents in writing to such combination); (e)
breach by Buyer or its employees, partners to whom Buyer sold Product, contractors, representatives, agents or aliates, (collectively, “Buyer Parties”)
of any obligation herein; or (f) negligent use, application, installation or implementation of Product by any of the Buyer Parties. Buyer shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless i2Systems and its ocers, directors, agents, employees, aliates, representatives, successors, and assigns from and against all
losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising out of out of or in connection with claims by third parties for
any loss, damage, or injury (including death) caused by or alleged to be caused by the circumstances described in this Section 5.4. Buyer shall not join,
settle or otherwise attempt to aect or dispose of any such claim without i2Systems' written consent.
1.5 DISCLAIMER. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES GRANTED BY I2SYSTEMS AND THE REMEDIES IN
THIS SECTION 5 ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF SUCH WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
SECTION 1, I2SYSTEMS MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AND I2SYSTEMS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH
OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, CONDITION, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. No agent, employee, or representative of i2Systems has any authority to bind i2Systems to any
armation, representation or warranty concerning goods sold by i2Systems and unless an armation, representation or warranty is specifically included
herein or in I2Systems' sales acknowledgement, it does not form a part of the basis of any bargain between i2Systems and Buyer and shall not be
enforceable by Buyer.
