System Overview
These instructions review how to install TruGroove Perimeter Ambient and Graze fixtures. Modules can be installed as individual
standalone units, or they can be joined together to create continuous runs. The graphics below show the components required to
install a typical run of TruGroove Perimeter fixtures. IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before beginning installation.

Refer to page 1 and steps 1a/1b above for determining mounting locations. To install the 1st module,
two brackets and suspension cables are required.
When joining luminaires, only one bracket and suspension cable are required for each joining module.
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.
!
Determine required power feel locations. Refer to
page 1 for typical power feed locations for each
housing. Prepare power feed drop conduit and
suspend close to required location. Attachment to
fixture module is shown in step 8.
Lift fixture module past ceiling plane, Tilt as shown
and engage housing hook on wall rail.

Insert suspension cables installed in step 3 through
cable grippers inside fixture housing. IMPORTANT:
Ensure suspension cables are vertical. Level fixture
and trim excess cable to 1” below fixture. Tuck
remaining cable inside fixture housing.

Engage housing on wall rail. Insert suspension cables
installed in step 3 through cable grippers inside fixture housing. Pull cables through and refer to next
step for levelling. IMPORTANT: Remove graze packaging insert from both ends of each housing.

Secure joiner bracket to module 1 with screw provided. Slide module 2 on rail and engage on free end
of joiner bracket. Complete all required electrical
connections and tuck all wires inside both wiring
cavities.
ATTENTION: Install in accordance with national and local building and electrical codes.

IMPORTANT: Before sliding fixtures together, make
sure all electrical wires and suspension cables are
properly tucked inside fixture wiring cavities. Slide
fixture housings together and attach second joiner
bracket screw.
For variable end installation, skip to step 14b.
Rotate and position bottom of endplate inside grid
and push flat against housing end.
Secure endplate to housing with 3 screws as shown.
