110VAC INSTALLATION LED DRIVER Strain Relief Barrel 2 black or white wires LED Module Terminal Block side Determine where you wish the LED MiniDisc Scoop Light to be placed. 1. Drill a 1.0" diameter hole into mounting surface. LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights will require a hole of at least 3-1/2" long x 1.0" diameter. Note that an 18 gauge wire will also have to pass from LED Driver to all LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights. 2. Place LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights loosely into holes, do not mount at this time. 3. Locate LED Driver adjacent to 110VAC. Remember, 100 LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights maximum per LED Driver. Leave LED Driver unattached to 110VAC power. 4. Use only 18G wire of the following specifications: For all applications with wire interior to a wall, use only UL listed 18G wire labeled CL2, NSL part number LW-18G-CL2. For all outdoor or burial applications, use only UL listed 18G wire labeled Sprinkler Wire or Direct Burial, NSL part number LW-18G-BUR. Strain Relief Barrel 5. Disassemble LED MiniDisc Scoop Light per diagram below. Bring power wire from LED Driver to LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights and strip insulation off of the wire leaving 3/8" of bare copper wire. 6. Bring both the incoming power wire, and the outgoing power wire, into the LED MiniDisc Scoop Light strain relief by pushing each through the respective hole in strain relief rubber gland. If you encounter difficulty inserting wire into the gland, apply a small amount of Vaseline on the outside of the wire. Once through the strain relief gland, separate the incoming and outgoing power wires into two sets of black or white, and two sets of red wires. See diagram above. 7. Note polarity in terminal block. Attach both black or white wires to the - side. Attach both red wires to the + side. Tighten terminal block screws. See diagram above. 8. Pull wires and LED module into LED MiniDisc Scoop Light barrel until LED module is flush with top of barrel. Screw on cover firmly. Tighten strain relief nut firmly. LED Module Gland Cover Mounting Screws Top view 2 red wires + side Very Important! To properly tighten the black plastic strain relief nut, first tighten firmly with your hand, then tighten an additional one-half turn with a 7/8" open end wrench. 9. On the last LED MiniDisc Scoop Light in the run, you will only have one incoming power wire, no outgoing power wire. On this LED MiniDisc Scoop Light place the incoming power wire through one hole in the strain relief, and in the other hole place acrylic rod included with this instruction sheet. 10. Bring power wire from first LED MiniDisc Scoop Light through a proper strain relief, and into the LED Driver. Note polarity. Place black or white power wire into - side, and red power wire into + side of LED Driver output. 11. Assure all connections and strain reliefs are firmly tightened, cover is tight on LED Driver, and then hard wire LED Driver to 110VAC. 12. LED MiniDisc Scoop Light will illuminate in about 3 seconds. If all do not illuminate, check connections and polarity at the LED Driver. If one does not illuminate, check connections and polarity at the unlit LED MiniDisc Scoop Light. 13. With system working properly, attach LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights to mounting surface by securing mounting screws provided through LED MiniDisc Scoop Light cover and into mounting surface. Side view
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons: 1. Use only with our UL Listed LED Class 2 Driver, LEDDR-12-60W. 2. Parallel wire LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights to LED Driver. 3. Use only 18G wire of the following specifications: For all applications with wire interior to a wall, use only UL listed 18G wire labeled CL2, NSL part number LW-18G-CL2. For all outdoor or burial applications, use only UL listed 18G wire labeled Sprinkler Wire or Direct Burial, NSL part number LW-18G-BUR. 4. First, make sure LED Driver is not receiving power in any way. Wire LED MiniDisc Scoop Lights per these instructions, assure proper tightness on all terminal blocks, strain reliefs, and MiniDisc Light covers, and then apply 110VAC power to LED Driver. 5. Do not try to adjust, fix, rewire, LED module. In the unlikely event LED module does not illuminate, check wiring polarity and terminal block first. If this does not work, send LED module back for warranty replacement, if applicable. 6. Not for use with dimmers. NOTE: These products may represent a possible shock or fire hazard if improperly installed or attached in any way. Products should be installed in accordance with the owner s manual, current local codes, and/or the current National Electrical Code (NEC).

LED MINIDISC LIGHT 100% LED LIGHT OUTPUT CHART With every foot of lead wire, and every light fixture, there is voltage loss. With too much voltage loss, all light fixtures will not develop 100% of their potential output. Below is a chart of acceptable voltage loss which will maintain 100% of the potential light output of the LED MiniDisc Light. Simply plot the number of MiniDiscs you wish to place on one lead on the horizontal axis, with the total distance from the LED Driver to the last LED MiniDisc on the vertical axis. If the resulting plot is at or below the line shown, you will have acceptable voltage loss and your LED MiniDisc will output 100% of their potential. Please note that this is per lead, and you have the option of up to three leads from the LED Driver. In any of the three leads, if your plot is below the line shown, you have acceptable voltage loss. The only limitation is that you may place no more than 100 MiniDiscs on any one LED Driver. 900' 850' 800' Total distance from LED Driver per lead 700' 600' 500' 400' 300' 425' 280' 200' 100' 210' 170' 140' 120' 100' 90' 80' 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Number of LED MiniDiscs per lead NOTE: No more than 100 MiniDiscs per LED driver.

should I use underground conduit to wire the Concrete Forms? In applications where the wire exiting the Concrete Form is below the concrete, and close to the edge of the pour, our 18-12 solid conductor direct burial wire is all that is required between Concrete Forms and to the driver. In applications where the design requires the wire to be encased in concrete, significantly distant from the edge of the pour, or for any other regulatory or access requirement, you may choose to place the burial wire in conduit connecting to the Concrete Forms. For these questionable access applications, we have designed the Concrete Form to fit over almost all standard 1/2 T junction boxes. Please see picture below showing the Concrete Form mating with a 1/2 T junction box. Both the T type junction boxes, and the 1/2 flexible conduit can be purchased at any electrical distributor. A good brand name to check would be Carlon junction boxes and Carflex conduit. A quality plastic glue will be required to secure the junction box to the Concrete Form, and the junction box to the conduit. 1. Remove the center centre knockout from one end of the concrete form. 2. Using two sturdy tie-straps, secure two 10 lengths of rebar to each concrete form 1.5 below the top. 4. Through the bottom knockout, bring in a 9 loop of 18-2 solid conductor burial wire. wire.

Cut wire at center of loop and coil back into concrete form. The last concrete form in a gang wired run only needs one incoming wire. 3. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the top cover of concrete form. 6. Prior to replacing top cover, coat the complete top cover where exposed to concrete with a concrete non-stick solution.
7. Install concrete form and wire in sub-grade. Adjust concrete form so that it will be level with finished concrete level. 8. While pouring concrete, insure nothing moves concrete form. Minor adjustments while concrete is wet may be necessary to assure concrete form will be level with finished concrete surface.
