Ledalite NatureConnect Install Instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the provided installation guide for the LEDALITE NatureConnect lighting system. This document provides detailed instructions for installing various components including the control cabinet, Lightscapes, Island frames, Skylights and Daylights. I can help you with questions about wiring, connections, testing, and troubleshooting mentioned in this document. Feel free to ask me anything about the installation process.
  • What type of cable is needed for the DALI connection to the island?
    How do I know if the Dali/DMX cable is connected correctly?
    What should I do if the module LED is red or orange?
    What is the purpose of the 'TEST MODE'?
