Power Supply Installation
Mount power supply and remove
1
junction box cover. Carefully remove
knockout for AC line input wires.
Install appropriate electrical ttings
in the knockout holes for wire
protection.

To Tetra LED System
Output wires
Connect the supply wire that is
2
attached to the Tetra LED System to
the red (+) and black (-) output wires
of the power supply as outlined in
the “Electrical Connections” section
of your LED system’s Installation
Instructions.
NOTE: Three 60 watt output banks per
power supply. Do not interconnect
output terminations.

(ground)
AC line
White
(neutral)
Connect the AC line to the black
3
(line) and white (neutral) input
wires of the power supply using
18-14 AWG (0.82-2.08 mm2) twist-on
wire connectors. Ground power
supply by connecting green wire
with yellow stripe to grounding
screw. Replace junction box cover.
Black (line)
NOTE: For installation in Canada, a disconnect/toggle switch of appropriate rating needs to be placed within 29.5 feet (9 meters) of
primary side of the power supply. The minimum rating of the switch must be either 120 or 220 Volts AC. The switch must also support
twice the amount of input current.
NOTE: When installing power supply, connect to the appropriate sized building breaker or disconnect device for line, neutral and
ground connections, in accordance with National Electric Code (NEC) Article 600 and all local regulations.
NOTE: Exceeding maximum load per bank will cause the power supply to shut down. Once the excess load is removed, cycle the input
power to restart the power supply.
