* Driver may not require a fault ground connection. Refer to driver specifications for additional
information.
** Install a compatible Class 2 constant voltage driver. Refer to each driver specification sheet for
full power ratings & load deratings.
*** Install a Class 2 constant voltage driver compatible with a low voltage PWM controller/
dimmer switch. Refer to each driver specification sheet for full power ratings & load deratings.
**** Determine the number of low voltage outputs of the driver when installing multiple PWM
controllers/dimmer switches. No more than one PWM controller/dimmer switch can be attached
to a single output of the driver.
^ Install a compatible dimming control or switch. See the ‘Electronic Dimmable Driver / Dimmer
Compatibility List’ for compatible dimming controls. See the dimming control manufacturer
installation guide for complete wiring instructions.
^^ Ensure to load the driver at least 60% the labeled load for proper dimming performance
(required for dimmable installations only).
† Install a compatible magnetic low voltage dimmer switch. See the MFG installation guide for
complete wiring instructions.
†† Dimmable drivers may require a compatible magnetic low voltage dimmer switch to supply
the driver and fixture with appropriate input voltage. Do not test or install directly connected to
an AC power source or to an On/Off switch. Refer to each driver specification sheet for full power
ratings & load deratings. See spec sheet for potential updated information. See dimmer switch
manufacturer specifications for minimum load recommendations.
‡ Refer to driver or controller specifications for a compatible junction box.
‡‡ See fixture specifications for maximum series run limits.
§ See in-line accessories specifications for maximum amperage ratings.
§§ See fixture accessories for a compatible adapter connector.
