MAGNETIC DIMMABLE DRIVER
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Before you begin, read all warnings and installation instructions thoroughly.
Safety & Warnings
• This driver must be installed in accordance with Article 450 of the
National Electric Code, and local regulations.
• This product is to be installed and serviced by a qualified electrician.
• This driver must be grounded to the green grounding wire.
• Install in a well-ventilated area free from explosive gases and vapors.
• This product is rated for wet location/outdoor use (NEMA 3R enclosure).
• Only install compatible LED dimmable fixtures. Contact technical support
or visit the online product page for compatible products.
• Utilize the wiring diagrams in this installation guide for basic installations.
• Do not modify or disassemble this product beyond instructions or the
warranty will be void.
• Ensure applicable wire is installed between driver, fixture, and any
controls in between. When choosing wire, factor in voltage drop,
amperage rating, and type (in-wall rated, wet location rated, etc.).
Inadequate wire installation could overheat wires, and cause fire.
• Do not test or install directly to 120VAC or through an ON/OFF
switch. This driver must be installed with a compatible Magnetic Low
Voltage (MLV) dimmer switch or the fixture may become permanently
damaged. Visit the online product page for a list of compatible dimmer
switches.
• Packaging will indicate output voltage, max load (de-rate 20%), and if
product meets Class 2 compliance. See dimmer switch for minimum
load recquirements.
Installation
1. Turn power OFF at main circuit breaker.
2. Determine locations to install the driver, fixture and control. See ‘System Diagram.’
3. Remove driver faceplate and pop out wiring knockouts as needed. Install 1/2” Romex connectors/wire strains. Feed wire through Romex
connectors prior to making wiring connections.
4. Attach the appropriate load to the dimmable driver.
5. Attach the 120VAC MLV dimmer switch to dimmable driver. Follow the install instructions provided with the control.
6. Replace driver faceplate and turn power ON at main circuit breaker.
Install in accordance with the NEC and local regulations. It is recommended to perform a dry test prior to permanent installation to ensure all system
components are functioning properly.
Ensure applicable wire is installed between driver, fixture, and dimmer. When choosing wire, factor in voltage drop, amp rating, and type to prevent
fire or electric shock.
Auto Reset Breaker
(20W - 100W Models)
Both primary and secondary circuits are protected with an automatic
reset breaker. A tripped circuit is indicated by the load powering off.
Reset may take between 50 seconds and 5 minutes depending on load
size.
For proper heat dissipation, mount vertically to
a sturdy surface, with the wiring compartment
pointing down. Install in a well-ventilated
area free from explosive gases and vapors. A
mounting tab is located at the top of the driver.
Manual Reset Breaker
(200W - 300W Models)
Both primary and secondary circuits are protected with a single reset
breaker in the event of an overload, surge, or short circuit. A tripped
circuit is indicated by a popped out, white edge. To reset, turn off main
power and push in button.
If breaker trips (indicated by a white edge), turn
off main power and push in to reset breaker.

Boost Tap
(200W - 300W Models)
200W & 300W models are equipped with a Boost Tap. Use the
Orange
Boost Tap
as an optional voltage boost (roughly 1V) in place
of the Black (Line) wire if the fixture is receiving noticeable light
degradation. Cap the existing hot wire not in use.
