Revolution Lighting T-Lite LED Signage Tube Lamps Installation Guide

Installation Instructions T-Lite LED Signage Tube Lamps Installation Notes Precautions T-Lite LED Signage Tube Lamp Read all precautions warnings instructions contained in this document. These instructions can be used to retrofit T-Lite LED signage tube lamps into a properly wired HO-series fixture with G13 or R17d sockets and a minimum lamp-to-lamp spacing of 6.3 inches 160 mm. Before installing lamps verify that socket spacing matches the T-Lite base-to-base lamp length. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or installer. Operating voltages 120277VAC 2 3 4 and 5 T-Lite tubes are powered from one end SEP the other end is NOT live and only serves to secure and mount the LED tube in the socket. 6 8 T-Lite tubes are wired SEP at both ends DSEP. Verify that luminaire is properly set up for each style of LED tube before installing modify luminaire if necessary. WARNING Do not use shunted lamp sockets when rewiring fixture for SEP or DSEP LED tube lamps. Shunted lamp sockets are found only in fluorescent luminaires with Instant-Start ballasts. These ballasts are labeled Instant Start or I.S. or designated as IS on the ballast markings for example F40T12IS. For more information contact your Revolution Lighting representative. Lampholder contacts must be electrically open internally for proper wiring of SEP or DSEP LED tubes. Refer to installation diagrams. This light source is not intended as an emergency exit fixture or light. Luminaire Power Source Socket and Retrofitted Luminaire labels are included with your T-Lite tube. These decals must be placed in the luminaire as described in the instructions below. Always connect ground lead to fixture when applicable. The T-Lite LED tube fits into any T-series T8T10T12 medium-bi-pin G13 socket or R17d HO socket using the included R17d end-cap adapter. Lampholder sockets do not need to be replaced unless they are shunted damaged or missing. The T-Lite LED tube lamp is not for use in luminai

res controlled by a dimmer. Warnings WARNING Risk of fire or electric shock. Do not use this retrofit kit in luminaires employing shunted bi-pin lampholders. WARNING Risk of fire or electric shock. Do not alter relocate or remove wiring lampholders ballasts or any other electrical component. If necessary contact a qualified electrician for assistance. WARNING To prevent wiring damage or abrasion do not expose wiring to exposed edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects. WARNING Always disconnect power for your safety when performing the luminaire modification steps below In some cases it may be necessary to test the power feed with the power connected. Only connect the power when doing the testing then disconnect the power from the luminaire when performing the steps below. WARNING Always follow local and regional NEMA Electrical codes. NEMA codes provide information on proper procedures safety guidelines proper tools connection methods and specifications on materials. WARNING Revolution Lighting Technologies Inc. cannot and will not be liable for any modifications or results of modifications to electrical devices or luminaires. These instructions are provided as a reference. By using the included instructions you are solely responsible for following all applicable electrical safety procedures codes methods and materials. If you are unsure about any electrical modification or installation please consult a licensed electrician or electrical contractor in your area. WARNING A luminaire modified to function with SEP or DSEP LED tube lamps cannot be used with the originally intended fluorescent lamps. Cautions CAUTION Risk of Shock. Use in Dry or Damp Locations Only. CAUTION Do NOT install an LED tube into a fluorescent luminaire containing a ballast andor starter. The ballast andor starter must be removed prior to installation. CAUTION Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation. CAUTION Do

not remove existing wires from socket terminals. Make new connections to existing socket lead wires using appropriate wire nutsconnectors instead. Contents Carefully open the box and check contents. Contact Revolution Lighting if any items are missing. Qty. T-LITE LED SIGNAGE TUBE LAMPS SKU as ordered T-Lite LED Signage Tube Lamps Qty. 2 LUMINAIRE POWER SOURCE SOCKET LABEL Place this decal at the base of any powered socket on the luminaire so that the arrow points toward the powered socket and is visible when replacing an LED tube. Use only one label for SEP-modified fixtures and two for DSEP-modified fixtures. See Step 3 below. Qty. 1 RETROFITTED LUMINAIRE LABEL This decal must be placed in a prominent location of the modified luminaire so that it is visible when replacing an LED tube. See Step 3 below. Qty. 1 T-LITE LED SIGNAGE TUBE LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN061 Provides information necessary to retrofit an existing HO fluorescent luminaire with SEP T-Lite LED tube lamps. T-Lite LED Signage Tube Lamp Installation Instructions STEP 1 STEP 2 BallastStarter Bypass Disconnect power to installation site. WARNING Ensure that all power is off using a voltmeter or other method. Single-End-Power SEP Bypass For 2 3 4 5 T-Lite Lamps Only Open fixture and remove existing fluorescent tube lamps by rotating one quarter turn and sliding each lamp out. Remove any wire or ballast covers to access ballast and all wiring. To bypass ballast and starter if applicable cut all ballast wires as close to ballast as possible as shown in the upper diagram. Cut all wires leading from the sockets at ONE END of luminaire. Only one side of luminaire needs wired sockets for SEP installation. Sockets at the other end of the luminaire remained wired as shown in the lower diagram. If existing sockets are shorted with a jumper remove jumper wire. If existing sockets are internally shunted replace with new un-shunted sockets. STEP 2 Contd Double Single-End-Power DSEP Bypass For 6

8 T-Lite Lamps Only Open fixture and remove existing fluorescent tube lamps by rotating one quarter turn and sliding each lamp out. Remove any wire or ballast covers to access ballast and all wiring. To bypass ballast and starter if applicable cut all ballast wires as close to ballast as possible as shown in the upper diagram. Leave all wires leading from sockets at both ends of luminaire connected as shown in the lower diagram. If existing sockets are shorted with a jumper remove jumper wire. If existing sockets are internally shunted replace with new un-shunted sockets. BallastStarter Bypass STEP 3 SEP DSEP Wiring SEP Wiring Diagram 2 3 4 5 T-Lites only DSEP Wiring Diagram 6 8 T-Lites only Ensure that powered sockets are wired according to the diagrams labeled either SEP Wiring Diagram or DSEP Wiring Diagram which depict 4-tube wiring configurations. Cut and strip approximately 12 of insulation from the free ends of the hot black and neutral white socket wires. Splice the hot and neutral incoming power leads with the corresponding hot and neutral socket wires using the appropriate wire nuts. Secure all fasteners clips and wires use electrical tape if necessary and replace ballast cover and all socket or wire covers. Apply supplied Luminaire Power Source Socket label with the arrow pointing to wired luminaire sockets indicating modified power sockets. Place only one label near the powered end of an SEP-modified fixture or each of two labels near the powered ends of a DSEP-modified fixture. Apply Retrofitted Luminaire label on inside of luminaire housing near one end of housing next to powered sockets. Ensure that the label will not be covered by any cover pieces trim pieces or other items. If necessary clean the area where label will be placed before affixing the selfadhesive label. STEP 4 If applicable secure R17d adapters to the G13 medium bi-pin end caps of each tube lamp. For 2 3 4 and 5 SEP T-Lites read the label on the tube lamp to ensure t

hat the powered end of the tube is aligned with the powered luminaire socket then insert single-end-powered LED lamp into sockets in the normal way. LED lamp is now fully installed. Repeat above steps for all T-Lite LED tube lamps. Reassemble luminaire. Switch power back on. Secure R17d Adapters Install Lamps STEP 5
