Орнотуу жана орнотуу

The ALC2 LED Complete 2 Undercabinet fixture offers flexible installation options, including direct wiring or connection via accessories (sold separately).

Арматураны орнотуу:

1. Determine locations for each fixture. For hardwire installations, connect supply wires via knockouts before mounting.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver or driver bit to tighten captive mounting screws and secure fixture to an appropriate mounting surface.

Image: Page 1 of the installation instructions, showing mounting and wiring access.

Туташуу күчү:

The ALC2 fixture can be powered by an adjacent fixture using linking cables, or hardwired directly via the Hardwire Junction Box (ALC-BOX, sold separately), or powered by a 120V power cord (ALC-PC6, sold separately).

Connecting Power via Rear Access Door (Figures 1 & 2):

The rear access door is located in the center of the back of the fixture housing. It has its own knockout for quick connection to supply wires, bypassing the need to remove the lens cover and open the wiring compartment.

1. Remove knockout using a hammer or punch, then loosen the screw that secures the rear access door using a Phillips head screwdriver or driver bit.
2. Install the 3/8" cable connector (included) for the supply wire following National Electric Code and local codes through this knockout on the access door. Use 14AWG or 12AWG wire. AC should be protected by circuit breaker or fuse.
3. Strip back jacket on supply wires to 3/8" and use push-in connectors inside housing to connect the wires, matching polarity (Black=Black, Hot; White=White, Neutral; Yellow/Green=Ground). Ensure that push-in connectors are positioned on the housing side of the access door.
4. Арткы кирүү эшигин алмаштырып, бекитүүчү буроону бекемдеңиз. Зымдар корпустун же капкактын эч бир бөлүгүнөн кысып же бузулбагандыгын текшериңиз.

Connecting Power via Supply Wires Through Housing Knockouts (Figures 6 & 7):

Орнотуунун бул түрү азыраак кездешет жана адатта арткы кирүү эшигин колдонууга мүмкүн болбогондо гана жасалат.

1. Open wiring compartment by removing screws on each end of the fixture cover from housing body.
2. Punch out whichever knockout is best suited for connection to 120V supply wire. Knockouts are located along back and top of housing.
3. Install cable connector and connect fixture wires following National Electric Code and/or local building code requirements. Minimum 18AWG solid copper wire. AC should be 120V protected by circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Тиркеме сызык томtage supply wires to fixture lead wires with wire nuts: Black to Black/Hot, White to White/Neutral and Yellow/Green (Ground) to Green or bare wire inside the fixture. Secure each connection using push-in wire connectors provided on the fixture lead wire.
5. Replace wiring compartment cover, ensuring no wires are pinched.

Direct Wire Junction Box Installation (ALC-BOX, sold separately) (Figure 1, above):

This method is used to hardwire the fixture to a power source. The ALC-BOX is designed for use with LED Complete (ALC Series) Undercabinet Lights.

1. Turn off power for appropriate electrical circuit at electrical service panel.
2. Remove junction box cover screws and remove cover. Save screws and lock-washers.
3. Prepare flat, non-metallic cable (NM/2C+Ground) or armored cable (BX) by stripping conductor ends approximately 3/8".
4. For installation using 3/8" electrical connector (junction box as shown), determine mounting orientation and remove one side knockout on desired side of junction box. Attach 3/8" electrical connector to junction box then affix 3/8" electrical connector to electrical supply (BX or NM). NM cable outer jacket must protrude through 3/8" electrical connector to adequately protect internal conductors.
5. Tighten locknut and clamping screw(s) on electrical connector, fitting securely.
6. Use stripped ends of wires into the push-in wire connectors (see Figure 1). Supply wires are typically color coded: Hot-black, Neutral-white, Ground-green or bare copper.
7. Push excess electrical supply wire back into wall and locate the junction box on mounting surface. Affix the junction box to the underside of the cabinet with captive screws provided.
8. Replace and secure junction box cover with supplied screws. Make sure lock-washers are located beneath screw heads for proper ground.
9. Follow installation instructions provided with undercabinet light fixture. Mount fixture, and insert jumper wire (sold separately) or direct end-to-end connector (supplied with fixture) into appropriate electrical port of direct wire junction box.
10. Make sure that all fixtures connected to junction box are properly installed and that all open electrical ports on the module and fixtures are safely covered with electrical port covers.
11. Restore circuit power at electrical service panel. Turn on master switch on junction box and turn on switches for each individual fixture. Master switch can be used to control all fixtures simultaneously or fixtures can be operated individually.

Interconnecting Fixtures:

Adjacent fixtures can be linked using linking/jumper cables (ALC-EX6-BK/WH, ALC-EX12-BK/WH, sold separately) or end-to-end connectors (ALC-CON-BK/WH, sold separately).

• Via Linking/Jumper Cable: To interconnect nearby fixtures, remove the adjacent port covers and utilize the ALC-EX linking cable (sold separately) as shown in Figure 5. If needed, linking cables can be interconnected to make longer lengths.
• Via End-to-End Linking Connector: To interconnect fixtures directly to each other (end-to-end), utilize the in-line connector (included with each fixture) by removing adjacent port covers and inserting fully.
