NEW INSTALLATION FOR PDLFV
Lay-in panel T-bar ceiling:
1. Cut an opening in the ceiling. This opening
must be slightly larger than the outside
diameter of the mounting frame.
2. Position mounting frame through opening
in ceiling. Release clamping latch arms and
adjust channel bars to the correct spacing
between T-bar as shown in Figure 1. Secure
channel bars to T-bar by means of wire ties,
screws, or by bending ends onto T-bar as
shown in Figure 2.
3 Once mounting frame has been secured in
structure, adjust the mounting frame vertically
to align the bottom edge to either flush or
slighty above (1/8” max) the ceiling line as
shown in Figure 3. Secure mounting frame
into position by closing the clamping latch
arms.
4. If additional security is required, a No.8 sheet
metal screw, wire tie or wire (not supplied)
may be used to tie the latch arm to the mounting frame as shown in Figure 1.
WARNING: Risk of fire. Do not install
insulation within 3 inches of fixture sides
or wiring compartment, nor above the
fixture in such a manner as to entrap
heat.
1. Electric current can cause painful
shock or serious injury unless handled
properly. For your safety, always
remember the following:
• Turn off the power supply.
• Ground the fixture to avoid poten-
tial electrical shocks.
• Do not handle an energized fixture
or energize any fixture with wet
hands, when standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in water.
2. Specific safety information concerning
lamps:
• Match wattage of fixture and lamp
exactly.
• Do not remove or insert lamp when
power is on.
• Do not scratch glass or subject lamp
to undue pressure as either may
cause lamp breakage.
• Protect operating lamp from sources
of moisture.

5. Remove knockouts on junction box to feed
power supply to fixture as shown in Figure 4.
Supply wire must meet applicable electrical
codes and be rated for a minimum of 75o C.
Junction box is thru-wire rated for (8) No.12
AWG conductors (4 in - 4 out).
6. Drop socket cup and telephone cord through
mounting frame aperture.
7. Complete necessary splices. Snap the LED
driver assembly onto the junction box as
shown in Figure 4.
IMPORTANT: See Figure 6 for LED Driver and
compact fluorescent ballast wiring schematics.

LED (PDLFV) Installation Instructions
NEW INSTALLATION FOR PDLFV
Non-accessible ceiling:
(plaster, drywall, etc.)
1. Release clamping latch arms and adjust channel bars to the correct spacing between joists as shown in Figure
1.
2. Mounting Channel Bars
Flexible Wiring Method
Bend ends of channel bars 90° and mount
to joists with vertical adjustment at its
lowest point on the mounting frame.
Make sure bottom of the flange is flush
with the bottom of the joists. Secure
mounting frame into position by closing
the clamping latch arm. Channel bars
will accommodate up to 24” O.C. joists.
Non-Flexible Wiring Method
If non-flexible wiring methods are used
follow procedure for flexible wiring
methods. Then lower mounting frame
equal to the thickness of the finished
ceiling or slighty above as shown in Figure 3.
3. Remove knockouts on junction box to
feed power supply to fixture as shown in
Figure 4. Supply wire must meet applicable electrical codes and be rated for
a minimum of 75°C. Junction box is
thru-wire rated for 8-No. 12 AWG conductors (4 in - 4 out).
4. Drop socket cup through mounting
frame aperture.
5. Complete necessary splices. Snap the
LED driver assembly onto the junction
Installation for PDLFV Ethernet cable:
1. ETHERNET CABLE INSTRUCTIONS
SINGLE UNIT, NON-NETWORKING
INSTRUCTIONS
If you are installing one unit and do
not intend to use an external driver
control, you will not need the
Ethernet cable provided with the
housing. The LED driver can be
manually programmed by setting the
dials located on the top of the driver housing. It is recommended that
the driver is set prior to installing
the housing (see operations
manual). If you are installing multiple units and the LED drivers are
individually controlled by an external control, the Ethernet cable
will run out of the control and in to
the “Network DMX512 IN” port for
each unit (see Figure 5). If you
should require longer lengths of
cable, it can be purchased at most
electronics stores. (Ethernet cable
type: CAT5, RJ45 - 11 FEET IN
CLUDED).
2. ETHERNET CABLE INSTRUCTIONS
NETWORKING INSTRUCTIONS
(Multiple Units Connected/
Controlled Together)
The Etherenet cable provided with
the housing can be used to network
multiple LED drivers togther (11 Feet
included). If you should require
longer lengths of cable, it can be
purchased at most electronic
stores (Ethernet cable type: CAT5,
RJ45). The first driver in the network
will act as the master. If you are
using an external LED driver control,
the Ethernet cable from the the
control will be plugged into the
“Network DMX512 In” port on the
master unit only. (See figure 5). If
you are not using an external LED
driver control, the master driver can
be manually programmmed by setting
the dials located on the top of the
driver. It is recommended that the
driver is set prior to installing the
housing. (See Operations Manual).
The Ethernet cable on the master
driver should be plugged in the
“Netowrks DMX 512 Out” port (see
figure 5). The next driver in the the
network will behave as a satellite.
Plug the cord from the master into the
“Network DMX 512 In” port of the
satellite. Continue this process until
you have reached the last driver in
the network. (MAX 128 drivers per
network).
