Determine Layout

Determine total number of modules needed to populate the application

area based on width and height. Refer to estimating charts below.

NOTE:

For optimal light uniformity, application depth should be a minimum of 3 inches (76 mm) for Generation 2 SKUs (94900, 94983, 65463 and

65464) and 5 inches (127 mm) for Generation 1 SKUs (75547, 75548, 75549, 75550, 75551, and 75552). A mock-up using the PowerGrid module and panel to be illuminated is highly recommended.

Using the diagram below as an estimation guide, begin cutting strings of modules to create 8-inch (203 mm) tall

rows and 12-inch (305 mm) wide columns.

Modules should be 2 inches (51 mm) from the edge of the application with 2.77 inches (70 mm) between each column.

Electrical Connections

Strip the ends of the wire 1/2-inch (13 mm) on the

modules (white and red) of adjacent columns that you want to connect.

Use UL approved wire connectors (twist-on or

in-line connectors) and 18 AWG (0.82 mm2) wire to connect the corresponding wires.

Strip the end of the wire 1/2-inch (13 mm) on the

rst column of modules and connect to the output of the LED Driver. Output connections must be red-to-red and white-to-black.

Refer to the LED Driver Installation Instructions for

more information on connecting the LED Driver.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This Class [A] RFLD complies with the Canadian standard ICES-003. Ce DEFR de la classe [ A ] est conforme á la NMB-003 du Canada.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Solution

• Check wire connections to LED Driver to ensure red-to-red and white-to-white connections.

• Check row-to-row polarity connections.

• Check input voltage and check LED Driver input/output connections.

• Check wire connection attachment and polarity of wires.

• Ensure the overall length of modules does not exceed the maximum load for the LED Driver.

• Ensure the length of the supply wire is equal to or below the recommended remote mounting distance (see remote mounting distance chart above).
