  1. Test the light functionality.

  • Connect the distribution box driver to an outlet and plug the light into the end port of the driver.

    • This will be the port that connects to the distribution box.

    • This port receives consistent power regardless of a switch being connected.

  • If the light is not functioning according to standard quality, troubleshoot or contact the shop or warehouse to inquire about a replacement light.

With all fixed shelves (including those with lighting) installed, allow leads to fall to their respective distribution box

    • If the driveror distribution box has a red light and the puck or ribbon light is not working, try plugging the light into one of the back ports, and attach the switch (or set up network and connect the switch) to the switch port.

    • If the light still doesn't work, replace the light or lead cable.

  1. Plan your lighting setup.

Plug the leads into one of the distributor’s slots

    • Wrap a strip of blue tape around the light lead to create enough surface area to make a note.

    • Label the light according to its location in the system, component, and type of light.

    • For example, a label of C2, Top SF, Ribbon would indicate the light is located in the 2nd component, in the top fixed shelf and is a ribbon light.

      • This will allow for simple troubleshooting if there is a service call in the future.

  • Based on the location of your driverand distribution box, determine if any backing or fixed shelves will need to be notched for the leads to travel.

    • If you are installing 1/4” or 3/4” backing, an access hole will need to be created for the lead to travel. This will be in a later step.

    • If you are installing press-in-backing, assess if the backing is split for the fixed shelves.

      • If the backing is split, the leadswill travel freely behind the backing pieces.

      • If the backing is not split, you will need to follow the same process of creating an access hole in the backing.

    • If any of the fixed shelves are not offset, meaning there is no space between the shelf and the wall, a notch will need to be created in the back of the shelf.

  1. If Backing is not split: Create access holes for backing pieces.

  • If you are installing backing that is not split at each lit fixed shelf, access holes will be required for light leadsto travel.

  • Place the backing in the component.

  • Place the lit fixed shelf into its respective location.

  • Make a light mark on the backing to outline the top and bottom of the fixed shelf only where the light leadis located.

    • Repeat this process for each lit shelf.

  • Remove the shelves and place them outside of the component.

  • Using a 3/8” drill bit, drill the access hole through the backing where you made your mark.

  • Lean the backing along the side of the component so it is resting along the partition.

  • Begin threading the light leadthrough the access hole created.

    • Repeat this for each lit shelf.

    • Shelves should remain outside of the component during this step.

    • Leadextensions may be required to keep the shelf in its location and to reach the distribution box.

  • Pull the light leadsto the distribution box and plug them in. See Step 5 for more information.

  1. If Backing is split: Install each lit fixed shelf and allow leads to fall or pull them to their respective distribution box location.

  • Create any notches in shelves or partitions as determined in Step 2 for leadsto travel to the distribution box.

  • Depending on the length of space between the light and distribution box, leadextensions may be required.

  1. Plug the leads into the ports of the distribution box.

  • Ensure the connection is functioning by connecting the distributor distribution box to the driver and power source.

  • Ensure you are not overloading the distributor distribution box by connecting too many light leads. Lights will flicker if the distribution box has been overloaded.

  • Follow the wattage calculations completed by plan review.

  1. If a Connect Mesh Network is to be setup: Follow the Connect Mesh User Guide.

  2. If a wired switch is to be connected: Attach the switch lead to the distribution box and ensure the switch is functioning according to its abilities

.If one receiver is controlling multiple switches, you must use a switch splitter to plug in the respective switches

  1. .

  2. Attach the switch to the system in accordance with the system’s elevation.

If the customer has opted to control the lighting by their internal existing wall switch, test the switch to ensure it is controlling the driver's power.

  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all components containing LOOX5 lighting.

  • Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all switches.

  • Complete the set up of the Connect Mesh network, if applicable.

    1. Install all backing panels, and complete the remainder of the installation in accordance with the system’s elevation.
