LED Driver Installation
Best Practices Guide

Driver Mounting
Mount driver flush against fixture to provide best heat transfer. Avoid mounting driver close to heat source such as fixture cover
plate or light source. Installer is responsible for ensuring that the driver case temperature does not exceed the maximum rated
temperature.
Tab Mounting – M Enclosure
Correct
Driver must be grounded by a mounting screw to the grounded fixture. Fixture must be grounded in accordance with local
and national electrical codes.
Power Wiring
WARNING: Shock hazard. May result in serious injury
or death. Disconnect power before servicing
or installing.

OEM Note
For best dimming performance, Lutron recommends electrical insulation with
50 / 60 Hz impedance of at least 12 MΩ and minimum breakdown voltage of
at least 1 500 V~ between LEDs and fixture chassis.
