AUC/MAUC SERIES – WIRING MODULE

• Shut off power before connecting wiring module to

electrical circuit.

• Install in accordance with all national, state, and local

codes.

• Do not connect to an ungrounded supply.

• Wiring module is intended for undercabinet or

undershelf mounting for use in conjunction with the

Stratalume ConnectsTM undercabinet light xtures.

Failure to install on a mechanically-sound surface may

result in personal injury, xture damage, or potential

re hazard.

This instruction sheet applies for the Stratalume ConnectsTM WML, WML/SW, WML/HGO, WMD, WMD/SW, WMD/

HGO and WMD/MS wiring modules. These accessories are designed to decrease installation time of series-mount

xtures by eliminating the need to electrically wire each xture.

The WML series of wiring modules are used in conjunction with the AUCSL, AUCDL, and AUCLED xture series. The

WMD series of wiring modules are used in conjunction with the AUCSD and AUCDD series.

GENERAL

SEE FIXTURE LABEL OR ANY APPLICABLE RESTRICTIONS.

• Do not install outdoors or in applications not intended

for use.

• Read all markings and labels to ensure correct

installation of wiring module. Supplemental instructions

may be located within the wiring module, in addition to

this instruction sheet, regarding orientation, mounting

restrictions, or optional equipment.

• Read additional instructions provided with the

Stratalume ConnectsTM light xture(s).

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including the following:

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE

APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH

THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND

THE HAZARDS INVOLVED. DISCONNECT POWER TO ALL CIRCUITS

BEFORE WIRING FIXTURE. INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH

ALL NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL CODES. DO NOT CONNECT

TO AN UNGROUNDED SUPPLY. READ ALL FIXTURE MARKINGS

AND LABELS TO ENSURE CORRECT INSTALLATION OF FIXTURE.

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE LOCATED ON THE

FIXTURE, IN ADDITION TO THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET, REGARDING

ORIENTATION, OR MOUNTING RESTRICTIONS.

INSTALLATION

I. Wiring Module Mounting Procedure Wiring modules

provide power to ConnectsTM light xtures designated

as “series-mount” through the electrical connectors

at each end. Make sure all xtures to be mounted in

the run are indeed “series-mount”. Depending on

the type of electrical accessory provided, the wiring

modules can also provide master switching of the run

by toggle switch or occupancy sensor. The available

hospital-grade outlet can also provide a powersource

for electrical appliances up to 15A.

Use the following steps to mount all Stratalume

ConnectsTM xtures with wiring modules. Refer to xture

instructions for additional information.

1. Determine where xture(s) will be mounted.

Determine location of wiring module within the run. The

wiring module will be mounted rst.

2. Determine overall length of series to ensure

that adequate under-cabinet space exists. Allow

1" clearance on each side for installation of plastic

end covers (provided with xtures) after xtures are

mounted in desired location.

3. Ensure adequate clearance exists at the rear of the

wiring module for electrical connection with FMC or NM

wire.

NOTE: All xtures being mounted together must be

mounted in a straight line to ensure proper electrical

connection is made between xtures.

4. Draw a straight line that will locate the back edge of

all xtures.

5. Lift the wiring module into place in desired location

by lining up the back edge with the line drawn in Step

6. When the wiring module is positioned correctly,

secure xture by the mounting holes (see Figure 1) with

four #8 screws (A).

7. Skip to Section II—Electrical Connection.

Make electrical connection at wiring module

before mounting additional xtures.

8. Lift subsequent xtures into place using line drawn

in Step 5 for proper alignment. Mounting ears on

endcaps t into previouslymounted unit. Each new

xture should butt against the previous xture without

gaps.

9. Secure subsequent xtures at opposite ends using

two #8 screws (A).

10. Test operation of xtures and wiring module

electrical accessories before extending series too long.

11. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 for each additional xture in

the series.

12. If interconnect cordset (IC) accessories will be used

to connects runs around corners or across transitions,

plug them into their respective endcaps now. If not,

snap in end covers to hide unused electrical connectors

and mounting hardware.

II. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PROCEDURE

MAKE SURE AC POWER IS OFF. ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION TO SUPPLY MUST BE MADE WITHIN

POWER MODULE

1. Remove plastic cover by squeezing the ngergrab

area in the middle of the wiring module to disengage

the internal hook from the housing.

2. Remove the two (2) small screws securing the cover

plate to the housing and swing out.

3. Remove access plate from the back of the xture

housing.

4. On WML models, attach supplied NM/FMC

connector (D, E, F) to access panel. On WMD models,

use standard 3/8” conduit tting. Refer to Figure 3.

5. Secure the proper length of supply wire to the NM/

FMC connector using connector-provided screws for

FMC or screws (B) for NM wire. Re-install the access

plate.

6. Connect supply wires to wiring module wires using

appropriate wire nuts. Notice wire labels and color

to ensure correct wires are connected—especially

in two-circuit applications. Make sure secure ground

connection is made.

7. Push wires neatly into wiring module and reinstall

cover plate and plastic cover.

8. Return to Section I – Mounting Procedure, Step 8 for

mounting the Stratalume ConnectsTM light xtures.

III. FINAL ASSEMBLY

After all xtures have been mounted and tested

for operation, install the plastic end cover(s) over

any exposed end to hide electrical connectors and

mounting hardware. Both left and right end covers

simply snap into their respective ends.

Refer to xture instructions for the end cover removal

procedure.
