GENERAL
This electronic, Class 2, power supply is to be installed indoors in
accordance with Articles 450 & 725 of the National Electric code (NEC)
and local ordinances. Proper operation requires free air convection
when installed. A qualied electrician should install this hardwired
power supply.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING
Check the label and ensure the electronic transformer has the
proper input voltage, output voltage and wattage for the job. Check
the wire markings to ensure they match the wiring diagram on this
instruction sheet.
LOADING
Recommended minimum 10W loading for optimal performance.
The minimum dimming level is around 10% to 20%. May vary with
dimmer model and loading.
MOUNTING
Select a suitable location capable of supporting the weight of the
power supply.
INPUT CONNECTIONS/GROUNDING
Use black for hot, white for neutral to connect electronic
transformer to 120V power.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Connect the LED positive (+) wire ito red wire from electronic
transformer. Connect the LED negative (-) wire to blue wire from
electronic transformer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• See ‘Wiring Diagrams’ and installation guides of all components.
• Ensure the system is wired correctly and polarities are correct.
•
Ensure the power supply and xture have the same voltage specications
(12V &12V or 24V & 24V).
• Ensure all connections are properly secured.
• If ickering happens at minimum dimming, adjust bottom level of dimmer.
• If a short ashing happens during startup, adjust bottom level of dimmer.
• Ensure the minimum loading are connected.
• Ensure a compatible dimming control is installed and wired correctly.
• Ensure a compatible constant voltage dimmable xture is installed.
• Ensure a compatible dimming control is installed and wired correctly.
• Dierent xture types have dierent circuit designs and may react
dierently when dimmed. Ensure each xture type is installed on a
separate dimmable power supply for best performance.
• Check wiring for short circuit. If breaker continues to trip there may be
a short in the power supply. Call customer support for a replacement
power supply.
• Check AFCI for faults.
• Check for neutral or ground faults.
