Page 5: Electrical Warnings
Gen3 Installation Guide Electrical Warnings Failure to follow these warnings could cause injury or death, damage the Fixture, and/or void the warranty. • Read and understand the Fixture installation instructions and safety labels before you begin your installation. • Turn off the power before installing or servicing the Fixture and/or connecting or disconnecting individual units. • Follow all national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations. • Avoid all temptation to disassemble the Fixture because there are no serviceable parts and tampering with it could cause shock. • Use only Fixtures marked for exterior use in outdoor applications. • Comply with the maximum voltage rating of the Fixture. • Operate the Fixture within the specified temperature and environmental ranges. • Avoid making live connections, also known as hot swapping. -
Page 6: Installation Site Considerations
Gen3 Installation Guide Installation Site Considerations i2Systems designs its Fixtures for an extended, trouble-free operating life but all electronic equipment requires cleaning, service, and, eventually, relamping. As part of the installation process, make sure you install the Fixture with a simple, inexpensive means of safely accessing the Fixture in the future. i2Systems Fixtures are not for use in applications that would require scaffolding, swing stages, cranes, or any exotic means of accessing the Fixtures for replacement and/or relamping. You will void the warranty if you create such an installation without first obtaining written permission from i2Systems management. Temperature Considerations This Fixture is rated for an operating temperature range of -20 to 40°C with a rated maximum case temperature of 50°C. After installation, measure the case temperature to ensure it will not exceed 50°C on any point on the housing at worst-case ambient temperature. The Fixture has i2Systems' Active Thermal Management (ATM), which will reduce power and therefore the case temperature if the Fixture overheats. However, you should not rely on ATM to regulate temperature as part of the normal operation of the Fixture. Failure to operate the Fixture within specified operating and case temperature guidelines will void the warranty. -
Page 7: Outdoor Installation Considerations
Gen3 Installation Guide Wet Location/Outdoor Use Fixture Labeling Use only wet location Fixtures for exterior applications. Fixtures marked with an “I” are intended for indoor use only. They should not be used for exterior applications. ✓ V3285A-16A AG V3285A-16AAG I Outdoor Installation Considerations You must install and operate all i2Systems Fixtures within the recommended temperature and environmental ratings. • Fixtures rated for exterior applications are not rated for submersible use. You should not mount the Fixture in a location that has or may have standing water. • You should never install a Fixture where there is or may be moving water from runoff or downspouts. It is good practice to seal all Fixtures and junction boxes with electronics-grade RTV silicone sealant. This will ensure that moisture cannot enter or accumulate in wiring compartments, cables, or other electrical parts when you install the Fixture in wet or damp locations. - Page 8 Rotation. of the fixture.

Page 13: System Layout
Gen3 Installation Guide System Layout The diagram below illustrates a basic system installation using the hardwire Fixture configuration with dimming functionality. If your installation does not require dimming, omit the LL-205, dimming cables, and third party dimmer. Max Load: 10 Feet of Gen3 120-277V Power Box Max Load: 10 Feet of Gen3 AC input Max Distance: 50 Feet (using 16 AWG wire) Dimming Cable... - Page 14 Gen3 Installation Guide Wiring Restrictions Always use a minimum of 16 AWG wire between the Power Box and Fixtures. Never exceed the maximum distance of 50 feet from the last Fixture to the Power Box or the maximum load of 10 feet of Gen3 Fixture per PS24V75W-E05P / PW Power Box. There is no limit of Fixtures or Power Boxes that the LL-205 Dimmer will dim, however the distance between the LL-205 Dimmer and the last Power Box should never exceed 1000 feet of Dimming Cable. Depending on the installation, exceeding this limit may cause flicker and/or reduce dimming performance. When using 0-10V control for large installations, multiple LightLink LL-205s may be connected to the same 0-10V signal. All Fixtures installed to a single LL-205 will dim together (single zone). All LL-205s installed to a single 0-10V signal, will dim together. Every installation is unique and should you experience a reduction in dimming performance, you may need to set up multiple LL-205 dimming zones. Call 1.860.567.0708 or email support@i2systems.com if you have further questions about dimming. www.i2systems.com Integrated Illumination Systems, Inc. tel +1.860.567.0708 Product information is subject to change without notice.
- Page 15 Gen3 Synchronizing Fixtures The Gen3 Fixtures are “smart” fixtures that synchronize and start simultaneously when power is applied to one or more Power Boxes. For dimming installations, this feature is enabled automatically. However, for non-dimming installations, you can enable this feature by tying all white wires (Dim+), then repeating this step for the green wires (Dim-).

The LL-205-10V reads these levels and translates them to i2Systems LightLink protocol, adjusting the light intensity of the connected Gen3 Fixtures from 1% to 100% (less than 1V is equal to 0% and greater than 9V is equal to 100%).

Page 18: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I connect the Gen3 directly to line voltage? A: No. Connecting the Gen3 directly to line voltage or any voltage higher than 30V DC will damage the Fixture and void the warranty. Use an i2Systems Power Box to convert line voltage to the proper voltage. Q: I see the Gen3 is rated from 20-30V DC. Will the intensity vary over the voltage range? A: For best performance and efficiency, nominal input voltage at the Fixture is 24V DC. Long wire runs may result in reduced performance and possible overloading on the Power Box should the voltage drop below 20V DC depending on the fixture load and the wire gauge used. Q: Can I load the Power Box to the full wattage specified (i.e., 75W)? A: Yes. The power supplies installed in i2Systems Power Boxes are derated (i.e. a 75W Power Box uses a... -
