This document provides installation instructions for Green Creative LED PLL retrofit kits. The installation requires bypassing the existing ballast. The product is double-ended, meaning Line (L) and Neutral (N) must be connected to the corresponding ends of the tube. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Safety Warnings
- Risk of fire or electric shock: Installation requires knowledge of luminaire electrical systems.
- Power: Disconnect power at the source before installation. Do not simply switch off the fixture.
- Compatibility: Not for use with dimmers, emergency exit fixtures, or luminaire ballasts.
- Wiring: Do not make or alter any open holes in the enclosure of wiring or electrical components during installation.
- Modification: The luminaire must be marked with a "This luminaire has been modified to operate LED lamps" sticker, visible during normal maintenance.
Installation Requirements
The retrofit kit is intended for surface mount, Type IC, or non-IC recessed mount fluorescent luminaires. Minimum luminaire dimensions vary by model:
- 17PLL/16PLL models: Minimum lamp compartment dimensions are 61.5cm (L) x 60.5cm (W) x 10.5cm (H). Maximum 3 lamps.
- 10PLL/8.5PLL models: Minimum lamp compartment dimensions are 44cm (L) x 14cm (W) x 10cm (H). Maximum 2 lamps.
Installation Steps
- Read all warnings before starting.
- Ensure power is turned off at the source.
- Remove the lens, cover, and existing fluorescent tubes.
- Cut all wires connected to the ballast and remove the ballast.
- Connect the Line (L) and Neutral (N) to the corresponding ends of the tube marked L and N. Note: This product is double-ended; do not wire to a single end.
- Follow the specific wiring diagrams provided in the manual for the number of lamps and original ballast type.
- Affix the "Modification Sticker" to the fixture.
- Reinstall the housing cover and lens if applicable.
- Return power to the source.
Wiring Configurations
The manual provides specific wiring diagrams for 1-lamp and 2-lamp configurations, detailing how to bypass Instant Start and Program Start ballasts. Ensure all wires connected to the ballast are cut and the ballast is removed before rewiring the fixture according to the provided diagrams.
