The provided documentation details installation instructions for Lithonia Lighting’s CLX LED strip/low bay luminaires. These instructions cover handling precautions, mounting options, wiring procedures, and component identification. The CLX series offers various length and lens options, and can be equipped with optional sensors and test switches. The documentation focuses on the CLX luminaire itself, as well as associated accessories like V-hangers and THCLX hangers. Safety instructions are emphasized throughout the provided materials.
Identifying CLX Luminaire Components
The CLX series includes several configurable options. Available CLX length options are not specified in the documentation. Lens options are also available, though specific types are not detailed. The luminaire may be equipped with an optional sensor (PS1050 option) and a test switch located on the side of the fixture.
The documentation highlights the importance of identifying components before installation. These include the V-hanger accessory and the THCLX hanger, which ships with a screw installed.
Pre-Installation Precautions
Prior to installation, several precautions must be observed. It is essential to ensure that power is switched OFF before commencing any work. The documentation stresses the need to handle the fixture carefully during unpacking and installation to avoid damaging the plastic lens and plastic end caps. Dropping the fixture or applying excessive force to the end caps could result in damage.
Mounting Options
The CLX series offers multiple mounting options. Installation can be performed using V-hangers or the THCLX hanger.
V-Hanger Installation
To install using V-hangers, the V-hanger should be fed into the holes on the driver channel. If a continuous row mount is being implemented, this step can be skipped, proceeding directly to steps 5-9 (which are not detailed in the provided documentation).
THCLX Hanger Mount Installation
For THCLX hanger mounting, the CLX brackets must first be attached to the structure. When mounting to a T-Grid, the mounting bracket can be snapped into the T-Grid. Two CLX brackets are required for standalone fixtures. For continuous row mounting, a minimum of one bracket per fixture, plus one additional bracket per row, must be used. Once the brackets are secured, the fixture is snapped into the THCLX mounting bracket, ensuring it is fully engaged.
Wiring Procedures
The documentation outlines wiring procedures for standard installations and installations involving emergency battery packs (BGTD, PS1050).
Standard Wiring
Standard wiring involves removing an access plate screw to expose input wires. Necessary knockouts must be removed, and input wires connected black to black, white to white, and green to green. Only UL-listed connectors rated for 75°C or greater should be used.
Emergency Wiring (BGTD, PS1050)
When installing with an emergency battery pack, the fixture should be mounted using brackets before wiring. The emergency battery pack indicator light must be plugged in during installation. Access to electrical components is gained by removing six screws. The fixture will hang from wires with zip tie strain relief. The LED channel can hang from the driver channel during servicing.
Detachment and Reattachment of WDL
The documentation provides instructions for detaching and reattaching a component labeled “WDL”. To detach, press against the lens wall. To reattach, press toward the fixture while simultaneously pressing against the side wall.
Accessing Electrical Components
Access to electrical components is achieved by removing six screws. The LED channel can be suspended from the driver channel during servicing.
Safety Instructions
The documentation repeatedly emphasizes the importance of safety. The initial pages contain “important safety instructions” that must be read before installation. The documentation also highlights the need to ensure power is OFF before beginning any installation work.
Additional Considerations
The documentation references plastic lens caps, acrylic lenses, and plastic/sheet metal housing. Care should be taken when handling these components to prevent damage. The documentation also mentions a test switch located on the side of the fixture, though its function is not detailed.
Conclusion
The provided documentation offers a focused guide to installing Lithonia Lighting’s CLX LED strip/low bay luminaires. Key aspects covered include component identification, mounting options (V-hanger and THCLX hanger), wiring procedures for standard and emergency configurations, and safety precautions. The documentation emphasizes careful handling of the fixture and adherence to electrical safety standards. The CLX series offers flexibility in mounting and configuration, with options for sensors and emergency battery backups.
