Mounting (mount as shown on the right)
- Remove top cover to access multi-sided mounting key holes.
- Mount driver per the options shown to the right.
Notes
• Minimum of 3 in (76 mm) required between any two LED drivers.
• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
• Mount driver in a position where it can be easily located and accessed if service or troubleshooting is necessary.
• Any other mounting configuration will require additional mechanical support. Improper installation may result in hazards to personnel or property. Wiring (wire as shown below)
WARNING: Shock Hazard. May result in serious injury or death.
Turn off power at circuit breaker before installing the unit.
- Remove top cover to access the terminal blocks.
- Open necessary knockouts to pass wires into the wiring compartment.
- Connect the necessary wires according to the illustration below. For E1 / E2 wiring, please refer to Application Note #142. Terminals accept 12 AWG to 20 AWG (0.50 mm2 to 2.5 mm2).
- Optional – An AC line cord may be used for a 120 V~ application. The line cord must include a grounded plug to be a valid installation as shown to the right.
Must be permanently connected fixed wiring for 277 V~ applications. - Optional – Add barrier between non-Class 2 and Class 2 wires (e.g., EcoSystem wiring shown below has E1 / E2 as Class 2, therefore barrier is placed between input and control terminal block).
- Rotate Field Adjustment Knob to full counter-clockwise position.
- Ensure compatible dimmer and load are installed and restore power to the circuit. See reverse side for Compatible Controls.

Driver Leads
Maximum wire length between LED driver and start of the light engine:
| Wire Gauge* | Maximum Lead Length |
| 24 AWG (0.20 mm2)* | 6 ft (1.8 m) |
| 22 AWG (0.75 mm2)* | 10 ft (3.0 m) |
| 20 AWG (0.50 mm2) | 15 ft (4.5 m) |
| 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) | 25 ft (7.62 m) |
| 16 AWG (1.0 mm2) | 40 ft (12.2 m) |
| 14 AWG (1.5 mm2) | 60 ft (18.3 m) |
| 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) | 100 ft (30.5 m) |
| 10 AWG (4.0 mm2)* | 150 ft (45.7 m) |
* To use wire gauges larger or smaller than terminal blocks’ rated gauge of
20 AWG to 12 AWG (0.50 mm2 to 2.50 mm2), connect 12 in (30 cm) or less of rated wire from terminal and connect with larger or smaller wire.
Field Adjustment Knob
Adjusting knob on the outside of the enclosure changes the minimum light level that is reached during normal operation. This feature enables the user to address light output mismatch between two or more drivers at low-end dim level. Driver is initially defaulted to the minimum light output when at low-end. For more information, please refer to Application Note #591 (P/N 048591) at www.lutron.com
- Ensure knobs on all drivers are in the full counterclockwise position.
- Set control to get lowest light level.
- Turn knob clockwise to adjust light output to match the brightest driver.
- Repeat steps 2-3 for the remaining drivers.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
277 V~ NOTE: This equipment has been tested at 277 V~ and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
