Tools and Components
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
WARNING
Risk of re, electrical shock or injury. Observe the
following instructions when installing this product.
LED Cove Fixture
Light Shield Connector (Optional)
(62818)
• This product is intended solely for the use of non-residential architecture
lighting and is not intended for use in any other application.
• Before installing, servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at the service
panel and follow appropriate lock out/tag out safety procedures.
PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION
Inspect the planned area for your installation and prepare a sketch and materials
list for LED Cove xtures, mounting tracks, leader cables and jumper cables.
FOR 120VAC INSTALLATIONS:
• No more than 200 LED Cove xtures (~200 feet/60.96m) are recommended
to be run in series.
FOR 240VAC INSTALLATIONS:
• No more than 330 LED Cove xture (~300 feet/91.44m) are recommended to
be run in series.
• Installing multiple 240V Cove xtures, on the same lighting circuit, may
cause GFI or RCD circuits to trip due to the ground leakage current of the
xtures. To avoid this issue, when designing lighting circuit s using GFI or
RCD protection, the total leakage current for a string of Cove xtures
should be calculated using the value of 0.5 mA per xture.
Prepare Electrical Wiring
Electrical Requirements
• Do not use in wet locations.
• The grounding and bonding of the LED Driver shall be done in
accordance with National Electric Code (NEC) Article 600.
• Follow all National Electric Codes (NEC) and local codes.

Install Mounting Tracks
NOTE: Select and use same degree angle mounting track
throughout entire installation.
Position mounting tracks in cove. Maintaining a xed distance
between the mounting track and the wall being illuminated is
critical for consistent appearance.
Maintain at least 0.5 inches (13 mm) between wall and
mounting track.
For curved sections or angles, cut and lay out sections of
mounting track spaced no less than 12 inches (305 mm) on
center along prole of wall to achieve desired radius.
A jumper cable can be placed between modules to provide a
gap in a single run.
Use a saw capable of cutting through 1/8-inch (3 mm) PVC to
cut mounting tracks to length as needed.
CAUTION
Risk of injury. Ensure that hands are free from cutting area.
Install a minimum of two #10 (M5) screws per cut section of
mounting track to x the track in place within the cove.

Install LED Cove Fixtures
Unpack and lay out LED Cove xtures along the layout of
the mounting track.
Connect the leader cable to the male plug on the rst
LED Cove xture.
Connect LED Cove xtures together in series with the male
plug of the xture at the start of the run. You may connect
all LED Cove xtures together before snapping into
mounting tracks. This makes access to connections easier.
Connect female plug to male plug of next xture in
series.
Locate series of LED Cove xtures along mounting track until
you are satised with location and positioning of the xtures.
Use jumper cable as needed to work around any obstacles,
corners or separations.
Press down back end rst, then front end to snap the LED
Cove xtures into the mounting track. Ensure both locks are
engaged.
