Part 2a: Wire the Fixture (Non-Emergency Operation)
1.
Run power to junction box
a.
Remove the junction box's outer cover by pressing down on the outer latch and pulling the cover
toward you.
Note: A licensed electrician should perform all the wiring tasks. All electrical connections must
be made within the junction box.
b.
Run the conduit in (and out, if this is one downlight in a sequence).
Note: Maximum of ( 8 ) no. 12 AWG (4 mm2) through branch circuit conductors suitable for
165 ˚F (75 ˚C) permitted in the box.
c.
Run the building's power line wires* into the junction box.
2.
Splice the wires
a.
Using the provided connectors, splice the D3's flying leads into the building's power. Make sure
the housing is grounded in accordance with local codes.
b.
Replace the junction box's outer cover.
3.
Test the wiring
a.
Apply power to the D3. The emitter should immediately come on to 3000 K (warm white).
Note: If the emitter comes on red, see Diagnostic Colors, page 19.
b.
Wait several minutes while the D3 tests its installation conditions. Then use the color to determine
whether installation was successful:
•
If the light stays at 3000 K, installation was successful.
•
If the light changes color, a problem has been detected.
Note: Magenta can indicate success or failure. It indicates success if there are no other
powered-on Ketra devices within 50 ft (15.2 m); otherwise, it indicates a problem.
To troubleshoot problems, see Diagnostic Colors, page 19.
c.
After verifying a successful installation, remove power and continue to Part 3.
* Ketra lighting products should not be connected to, or directly controlled by, AC mains line voltage dimmers. These types of dimmers may also
be referred to as phase cut, triac, forward-phase, reverse-phase, ELV, or MLV dimmers. Ketra's lighting products should only be controlled via our
digital control architecture. Ketra does not recommend switching power on/off to Ketra lighting products via relays, contactors, or manual toggle
switches. When the lighting products are disconnected from power they cannot respond to digital commands from control devices. This could
confuse end users as the lighting may be in a state that is inconsistent with the control devices. Please refer to our controls products installation
guides for more information.
