Installation Guide
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
WARNING/AVERTISSEMENT
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Turn power off before inspection, installation or removal.
• Properly ground electrical enclosure.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Follow all NEC and local codes.
• Use only UL approved wire for input/output connections.
Minimum size 18 AWG or 14 AWG for continuous runs.
RISQUES DE DÉCHARGES ÉLECTRIQUES
• Coupez l’alimentation avant d’’inspecter, installer ou déplacer le luminaire.
• Assurez-vous de correctement mettre à la terre le boîtier d’alimentation électrique.
RISQUES D’INCENDIE
• Respectez tous les codes NEC et codes locaux.
• N’utilisez que des ls approuvés par UL pour les entrées/sorties de
connexion. Taille minimum 18 AWG ou 14 AWG pour les rangées continues.
Save These Instructions
Use only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Prepare Electrical Wiring
Electrical Requirements
• The LED driver must be supplied with 100-277VAC, 50/60Hz or
347V, 50/60Hz and connected to an individual properly grounded
branch circuit, protected by a 20 ampere circuit breaker. Use min.
75°C supply conductor. 347V power should only be supplied to
luminaires with voltage code ”D”.
Grounding Instructions
• The grounding and bonding of the overall system shall be
done in accordance with National Electric Code (NEC) Article
600 and local codes.
Tools and Components Required:
• T15 torx screwdriver
• UL Listed conduit connections per NEC/CEC for nominal conduit trade sizes ½” or ¾”
• UL Listed wire connectors
Components Supplied:
• Luminaire
• 2 Mounting Brackets
• End Caps (2 supplied with IS1 and ISS series)
Important
• Maximum length of electrical run per table below
• Please see technical data sheet for electrical
properties to ensure safe installation.
• Under any circumstance, maximum driver current
through connected xtures shall not exceed 15A.

IS series luminaires come in three versions: Starter units (ISS series), continuous units (ISC series) and independent units (IS1 series).
A continuous electrical run will consist of one starter unit and a number of continuous units up to a maximum current of 15A. When
installing luminaires use clean gloves in order to avoid fouling the reective surface.
Attach mounting bracket to ceiling
support structure either directly or
using a GE suspension kit according
to the suspension kit instructions
(kit number 69075, 69076, 69077 or
94210 supplied separately). Maximum
distance between suspension points
shall not exceed the length of the
luminaire.
Choose suspension method
Carefully unpack unit from its
packaging. Properly inspect for
defects before installing. Wear work
gloves to prevent dirt and oil from
being transferred to the luminaire.
Prepare luminaire for installation
by loosening the PSU cover screws
and removing the cover.
Clip luminaire to the previously
installed mounting brackets.
For 347V xture: Loosen PSU cover
screws and remove two covers.
Fix the mounting position and secure
the suspension by tightening the two
screws on both mounting brackets.

Mechanical Installation
Electrical Connections
PSU wires
Carefully remove appropriate
knockout for AC line input wires
(inner knockout for ½” conduit,
outer knockout for ¾” conduit).
Install listed electrical ttings in the
knockout holes for wire protection
and pass supply conduit through
electrical ttings.
Optional dimmer: Install UL listed
electrical tting and insert dimming
control wires through. Connect
dimming control wires (grey and violet
for 0-10V or violet and violet/white
strip for DALI) to the similarly colored
xture wire using the provided push-in
wire nuts (starter unit) or separate UL
listed wire-nuts (independent unit).
Connect the green (ground), black
(line) and white (neutral) wires of the
AC line to the similarly colored wires
of the power supply unit using the
provided push-in wire nuts (starter
unit) or separate UL listed wire nut
(independent unit).
Replace power supply cover(s) by
sliding over the captive screws and
secure by tightening them.

Mechanical Installation for Continuous Runs
Continuous runs must begin with
a starter unit. Remove the power
supply side end cap from the starter
unit and save for Step 5.
Continuous runs must begin with a starter unit which is suspended at both ends. The power supply side end cap from the starter unit
must be removed and used to terminate the run.
Remove the PSU cover from the
previously hung luminaire if present.

To add a continuous unit to a
continuous run, rst suspend the
new unit per the instructions above.
Position the non-power-supply end of
the luminaire near the power-supply
end of the previously hung luminaire.

To terminate a mechanical run
take the end cap from the starter
luminaire and clip down onto the
last bridge.
Replace the PSU cover(s) and secure
using the mounting screws.
Note: When installation is complete,
all lead wires and connectors shall be
totally enclosed.

Pull the continuous wiring out of the luminaire being mounted and slide the bridge of the luminaire down onto the bridge of the
already installed luminaire so that the tabs and slots at top and bottom nest into one another. The bridges will engage with a load
click when fully mated.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Solution
Luminaires will not turn on • Check that the color of the supply side wires match the color of the wires they are connected to.
• Check that the LED driver connector is fully engaged to the LED light engine connector.
Luminaire on through wiring
will not turn on
• Check that the through wiring connector from the previous xture in the linear row is fully
engaged to the malfunctioning luminaire.
Luminaire to luminaire mating
in continuous run is loose
• Ensure that both upper and lower connecting features are correctly engaged.
• Ensure that through wires are correctly routed in the wiring notch.
Suspension method won’t
engage with luminaire
• Check that the suspension method is one of the approved types in the installation instruction.
