Step 6:
Strip the ground/earth wires to the length indicated in the table above and
terminate to the ground bus terminal. Torque to the recommended value also
indicated in the table above.
2-wire Fluorescent
To control 2-wire fluorescent ballasts, the power circuit in the rack must be configured as a
standard module type (D15, D20, AD15, AD20, ED15, ED25, HD15, HD25) with a 2/3 wire
fluorescent dimmer mode assignment. Reference the related Architectural Control
Processor programming guide for instruction to change dimmer mode.
Step 1:
Pull fluorescent ballast power wiring into the DRd rack enclosure per the wire
entry plan.
Step 2:
Strip 5/8” (16mm) of insulation from the end of each load wire.
Step 3:
Terminate the load wire (typically black) to the assigned dimmer lug by inserting
wire between the back of the lug and the pressure plate.
Step 4:
Strip the neutral wire to the length indicated in the table above and terminate to
the neutral terminal assembly. Torque to the recommended value also indicated
in the table above.
Step 5:
Strip the ground/earth wires to the length indicated in the table above and
terminate to the ground bus terminal. Torque to the recommended value also
indicated in the table above.
