Connect and Mount eW Burst Powercore
Fixtures
eW Burst Powercore fixtures can be installed in series or in parallel (wired to a
common junction box).
• eW Burst Powercore Architectural fixtures feature a canopy base for mounting
to standard US junction boxes. Fixtures can be mounted directly to a surface
or substrate by removing the nylon cable clamp and disengaging the 6 ft (1.8 m)
integrated power cable from the canopy base.
• eW Burst Powercore Landscape fixtures feature a 1.2 in NPT threaded post for
mounting to standard junction boxes and third-party mounting accessories such as
stanchion mounts, posts, and stakes.
eW Burst Powercore fixtures can be controlled either with a standard wall switch
(on / off) or a commercially available electronic low-voltage (ELV) dimmer. eW Burst
Powercore fixtures work with many trailing edge or reverse phase control ELV
dimmers. Refer to the installation instructions included with the wall or dimmer
switch for installing and wiring information.
Make sure the power is OFF before mounting and connecting eW Burst Powercore
fixtures.
Connecting eW Burst Powercore Architectural Fixtures to Junction Boxes
1. Mount junction boxes in accordance with the lighting design plan. Each fixture
is designed for mounting in a 4 in (102 mm) round US electrical junction box,
rated for your application, with 3.5 in (89 mm) center-to-center screw holes for
attaching the fixture’s base.
2. If installing fixtures in a series, pull 3-conductor copper wire between the junction
boxes. If installing fixtures in parallel, pull 3-conductor copper wire from line
power to a common junction box, and from the common junction box to each
fixture’s junction box.
We recommend the use of 12 AWG (2.05 mm), stranded 3-conductor copper
wire.
3. Trim the cable from the fixture to fit in the junction box, leaving enough cable to
make wiring connections.
4. If installing in a damp or wet location, Insert the fixture cable through the
provided junction box gasket before making wire connections. When attaching the
fixture to the junction box, ensure that the gasket is compressed evenly.
E
Ensure that all junction boxes are
suitable for the environment and that all
wiring between junction boxes complies with
local codes.
