Lightvault®RGBW LTV81/LTV82 RGBW Installation Instructions
In-grade luminaires often become ineffective or inoperable simply
because they are not installed and maintained correctly. While it is
tempting to install these fixtures below grade, this generally turns out
to be unsatisfactory unless the installation is in a paved area. When
the fixtures are installed too low, they become a collection point for
dirt, mud and encroaching ground cover. With a little preplanning
and care, in-grade luminaires can be installed in a manner that will
promote easy maintenance and longevity. The following installation
methods represent our best recommendations.
When the fixtures are to be installed in areas planted in ground
cover and shrubbery, a buffer zone is needed to prevent lens
overgrowth as the plants mature. Elevating the fixture will
encourage water runoff around the unit rather than over the top.
Advantages of a buffer zone:
• Helps prevent lens overgrowth.
• Provides a defined edge for trimming.
• Provides drainage around fixture and helps keep the lens clean.
• Rock-fill partially buffers fixture from corrosive soil and improves
ground drainage.
• Visually looks like a flush mounted installation.
Wood Framing
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
Remember, always isolate and elevate.
Another option for ground cover, shrubbery or lawn areas is
to encase the fixture in concrete. This has some additional advantages
over the rock-fill method (above).
Advantages of concrete installation:
• Allows higher wattage lamps because concrete makes
an excellent heat sink.
• Totally isolates fixture from corrosive soils.
• Helps prevent lens overgrowth.
• Allows edging without scratching fixture.
• Provides drainage around fixture and helps keep
the lens clean.
• Rock-fill partially buffers fixture from corrosive soil and improves
ground drainage.
• Visually looks like a flush mounted installation.
Note: Always use adequate rebar surrounding the fixture to prevent cracking of concrete.
To make fixture installation easier in concrete, use Rebar Cage
Anchor (RCA81/82/83) and tie into paving rebar to support fixture
during concrete pour.
Advantages of paved area installation with
rebar cage anchor
• Supports fixture during concrete pour.
• Can be easily tied into reinforcing rods used for paving
• Easily adapts to any paving material.
NOTE: Concrete foundation is to be designed according
to local soil conditions (by others).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY!
WARNING: Fixtures must be grounded in accordance with local codes or the
National Electrical Code. Failure to take these steps may result in serious
personal injury. All electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician
SAFETY WARNING: DO NOT install these fixtures in submersible
installations such as fountains or swimming pools. Extreme caution
should be taken when installed in paved areas. MAINTENANCE: To maintain
light efficiency and prevent overheating, lenses must be kept clean and free
of dirt, dust, leaves, trash and mineral deposits from water. For optimum
performance a regularly scheduled maintenance program should be
followed. DO NOT operate luminaire with missing or damaged lens.
KEEP THIS SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
!
CAUTION:
• To help maintain a clean, dry splice
compartment, always apply sealant to
both conduit threads and molded
housing to seal. (sealant not supplied.)
• When tightening gasketed splice cover
into bottom of molded housing, always
Torque screws to 25-30 in-lbs in a star
pattern.
• Make sure all electrical supply is OFF
before starting fixture installation.
ALIGNMENT: Fixture can be installed on
housings at 90° increments.Care must be
taken when installing the housing so
directional marker on lens frame can be
installed at a desired orientation.
• Refer to pour box Debris Shield for
proper alignment.

lock out.
MOLDED HOUSING
ROUGH-IN INSTALLATION:
Read guidelines on page 1 before starting.
1. Excavate 20" dia. hole in desired fixture
location. Run conduit 3" deeper than
height of housing. Fill with gravel for
drainage.
2. With 3/16" Allen wrench, unscrew (4)
hex screws to remove debris shield from
molded housing.
3. Check to make sure pour box is dry.
4. Remove gasketed splice cover in bottom
of molded housing using 3/16" Allen
wrench and (6) hex screws.
5. Remove necessary pipe plugs from
molded housing. Connect molded
housing to conduit. Apply sealant to
both conduit threads and molded
housing to seal.(sealant not supplied.)
6. Pull (3) supply conductors into supply
compartment. DMX Installation: Pull
supply conductors and 3 wires from DMX
control system into supply compartment.
7. Standard Installation: Connect (3) field
wires to splice cover connector wires
observing polarity, i.e. black (voltage),
white (common), and green (ground).
Cap off wires with the remaining
wire nuts if they’re not being used;
cutters or strippers will be required. DMX
Installation: Connect (3) field wires and
the (3) wires running from DMX control
system to splice cover connector wires
observing polarity. I.e. red (DMX +), violet
(DMX -), gray (DMX ground), black
(voltage), white (common), and green
(ground); cutters or strippers will be
required.
8. Cover the bottom of molded housing
with the gasketed splice cover using
3/16" Allen wrench and (6) hex screws.
Torque screws to 25-30 in-lbs in a star
pattern.
9. With 3/16" Allen wrench, screw in (4) hex
screws to reinstall debris shield.
10. Align molded housing using markings on
debris shield keeping longitudinal
reference line parallel to street, wall or
walkway.
11. Back fill for stability. Do not back fill with
bark or Vermiculite. Never install below
surrounding ground level.
COMPONENT MODULE INSTALLATION:
12. When the component housing has been
delivered to site and you're ready to
install, unscrew (4) hex screws with 3/16"

water-tight.
14. Drop component housing in place and
attach to molded housing using 3/16"
tamper resistant hex wrench and (4)
tamper resistant hex screws. Torque
screws to 25-30 in-lbs.

improve connectivity.
Why won't it work on my iPhone 4 or iPad 2?
The Kim Remote app for Apple devices requires an Apple device that support Bluetooth low energy (BLE).
This includes iPhone 4S and above, iPad 3 and above and iPad mini.
Why did my dimming settings change?
The advanced electronics inside the LTV8 are designed to retain your settings for both dimming and aiming.
Note: Each time you connect to the xture with the KIM REMOTE app, dimming settings are automatically reset to
100%. Please follow the following steps.
1. Power on xture.
2. Pair and Connect device.
