INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

 

VERIFY CORRECT LUMINAIRE WAS RECEIVED WITH 

CORRECT COLOR TEMPERATURE, VOLTAGE, AND WATTAGE BEFORE CUTTING OR 
INSTALLING. CALI WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF INCORRECT LUMINAIRE IS INSTALLED.

READ ENTIRE GUIDE BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION

• Electric Hammer Drills (optional)    
• 14.4 to 28 Volt Cordless Drills          
• Phillips Bits - Sufficient Quantity    
• Utility Knife
• Electrical Cords                   
• Marker 
• Wire Strippers

• Long Nose Pliers
• Drill Bits - Concrete or Wood
• Electrical Three Ways
• Safety Glasses
• Measuring Tapes
• Chalk Line 

             

• ALS500T-RMW can be mounted to concrete, wood, or metal using proper
   mounting hardware.
• Ensure surface material can support the weight of the luminaire.

ELECTRICAL

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

INSTALLATION TOOL REQUIRED

• ALS500T-RMW requires a remote driver. The driver may be mounted on
   top of the luminaire or in a remote location.
• Drivers are 120V - 277V (UNV) Input Voltage and 24VDC Output Voltage
• To calculate driver size, determine Watts per Foot.
   

Example:

 4W per Foot

• Determine Length in Feet.
   

Example:

 20’

• To calculate Load, Multiply Watts per Foot x Length in Feet
   

Example:

 4W x 20’= 80W. The Load of the driver is 80 Watts.

• Maximum load for a Class 2 low voltage luminaire is 96 Watts
