support or visit the online product page for compatible products.
• 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.
• This specific model driver may be installed with an ON/OFF switch or
a compatible Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV) dimmer switch. Visit the
online product page for a list of compatible dimmer switches.
• Utilize the wiring diagrams in this installation guide for basic
installations.

minimum load requirements.
Installation
1. Turn power OFF at main circuit breaker.
2. Determine locations to install the driver, fixture and control. See ‘System Diagram.’
3. Remove both driver faceplates 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 faceplates 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.
Reset Breaker
Both primary and (6x) secondary circuits are protected with a 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.
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.
