Step One:

Locate the fluorescent lighting fixture that is to be retrofitted. Turn off power.

WARNING: Electrical shock can occur during retrofit component installation if power is not turned off.

WARNING: Installation of this retrofit assembly requires a person familiar with the construction and operation of

fluorescent luminaire electrical systems and the hazards involved.

WARNING: Unless otherwise instructed, do not make or alter any opening in the wiring compartment or any

electrical components during the installation of this retrofit assembly.

WARNING: Ensure that existing fixture is and remains properly connected to building ground. Use of any other

than the Lithonia Lighting supplied screws to install assembly may result in ungrounded fixture components.

Remove louver or doorframe from existing fixture. Remove lamps and set aside to be recycled. Remove existing

ballast cover.

•

Identify power supply wires to disconnect. Clip wire and prepare for conection to ballast disconnect.

•

Remove ballast, lamp holder brackets, and lamp leads as necessary to provide adequate clearance for kit

installation.

•

Recycle or properly dispose of all components removed from host fixture.

Step Two:

Install ballast / electrical assembly into existing

housing using provided tek screws.

NOTE: Install ballast as close as possible to edge

of channel flat to allow adequate clearance for

reflector. Upper end brackets hang freely during

ballast installation. See page 2

notches under the 30° bent tabs as shown in detail B. Rotate reflector into final position on the end

with the 90°

bent tabs and bend tabs up, temporarily securing reflector. Use provided serrated washer head

Step Five:

The trim assembly hinges and latches from either

side . Slide corner hinge into the slot in one if the

end brackets and repeat on opposite end.

Close door and rotate cam latches into cam latch

receiving slot. Verify cam latches are properly engaged

and door is secure

Optional Step to Install Trim Kits (lensed troffer application):

The 2VT8RT / 2VT5RT Relight Assembly is shipped with two flexible reveal cover trim pieces. Some

installations in existing lensed troffers can leave unsightly gaps between the side rail of the Relight door frames

and the existing housing, which can leave old hinge and latch points exposed. The trim kit is designed to cover

these to insure an attractive installation.

To install, slide the ends of the trim piece under the Relight end brackets as shown in in the photo. When they

are fully in place, slide the notch of the trim piece towards the end bracket to fully seat the part. The part is

flexible so this step can typically be completed either before or after full installation of the Relight assembly.

Help save our environment by recycling

all remaining components.

Save these instructions.
