Additionl support is recommended for long verticl nd ll horizontl tue runs. Review locl uilding requirements nd consult with pproprite uilding code officil for proper mteril nd plcement of dditionl support. Avoid glvnic rection (corrosion) if dissimilr metls re used. Electricl Components Before instlling, servicing, or clening unit, switch power off t service pnel nd lock service pnel to prevent power from ecoming switched on ccidentlly. When the service disconnecting mens cnnot e locked, securely fsten prominent wrning device such s tg to the service pnel. Re-Roofing Soltue products require specil cre if removed for re-roofing. In order to ensure proper removl nd re-instlltion, plese contct your Soltue Interntionl representtive. Plese refer to the instlltion tips for the pproprite product elow: Dylighting Systems Instlltion Tips These instructions re step-y-step guide for the instlltion of Soltue Dylighting System in the following conditions. For other roof types, plese contct your Soltue Interntionl representtive for dditionl informtion.

Dylighting Systems Instlltion Tips (Continued) Allow t lest 2-3 hours for the instlltion, prticulrly if this is your first instlltion. During the dy, turn off ll the lights in the room to see how much nturl light comes in through the windows, nd determine the est position for the Soltue Dylighting System. To light specific re, plce the system over the re, not in the center of the room. This will prevent the desired re from eing shded y tll ojects in the room. Mesure the distnce etween the roof nd the ceiling. If you don t hve enough tuing, contct your Soltue Interntionl representtive for dditionl tuing. Avoid roof loctions shded y trees, ridges nd chimneys, or ner wter chnnels or vlleys. Also void roof res with ostructions such s fire sprinklers, HVAC equipment, gs, wter or drin pipes, ir ducts or flues nd mke sure tht the roof is dequte to endure n instlltion without dmging its wterproofing properties or wekening the uilding structure. All dhesives, sels nd tpes re recommended to e pplied to clen nd dry surfce t minimum of 70 F (21 C) for mximum performnce. Foil tpe contins pressure sensitive dhesive nd pressure must e pplied t ll sems for proper onding. Foil tpe is not intended for use s structurl support of the extension tues. For structurl integrity use mnufcturer supplied fsteners on ll overlpping extension tue joints. Uninstlled product tht is stored nd exposed to excessive het nd or humidity cn experience dmge. Store product prior to instlltion in cool dry plce. For instlltions where high levels of suit or deris my e present it my e necessry to use foil tpe to sel the diffuser to the tuing to prevent the excess deris from entering the tuing. Dylight Dimmer Instlltion Tips Plese follow ll locl municipl nd uilding code requirements prior to mking electricl connections. WARNING: To void risk of fire or electric shock do not connect high voltge to the power input terminl on the Soltue 0-10v Dylight Dimmer. CAUTION: To void dmge to the Dylight Dimmer Circuit Bord use only 9V ttery to mnully operte dmpers. See Optionl Step on pge 11. Generl Circuit Limittions: (3) Soltue Dylight Dimmers per 20VA trnsformer nd (11) Soltue Dylight Dimmers per 96VA trnsformer. Mx cle length etween units 30 ft (9.14 m), ggregte control cle length not to exceed 2,110 ft (643 m). Ensure Plcement of Dylight Dimmer Junction Box is uniform for ll units in instlltion for ese of wire connection nd for est esthetics. For ese of wire connection to terminl locks do not strip wire more thn 3/16. Good ground connection is criticl to proper opertion of this system. Ensure tht ground connections re properly nd securely onded to terminl locks to reduce risk of noise nd ensure proper functionlity of system. Segregte power nd signl cles entering into junction ox to void crossover noise. Also, cross the control lines nd the power lines perpendiculr inside junction ox to void noise. (See digrm on pge 9 nd 10) Avoid umping cpcitors on PCB (Printed Circuit Bord) to reduce risk of dmge. If cpcitors re umped nd ecome loose, replce entire junction ox s improper functionlity of Dylight Dimmers is highly prole. When connecting to 0-10V Current Sinking Lighting Controllers, Keep resistor in Aux CNTR Terminl on first unit in control circuit series. Remove resistor from ll susequent units. When connecting to 0-10V Current Sourcing Lighting Controllers, Remove resistor in Aux CNTR Terminl on ll units. When connecting to Open/Close opertion to stndrd wll switch remove resistor from Aux CNTR Terminl on ll units. When connecting to dimming wll control remove resistor from Aux CNTR Terminl on ll units. Importnt Sourcing Notes The Soltue 0-10v Dylight Dimmer is dylight ctutor. It is importnt to source controls for n ctutor rther thn dimmer. The Soltue 0-10v Dylight Dimmer does not hve lod to control. When sourcing controls to use with the Soltue 0-10v Dylight Dimmer, it is est to source controller tht is dimming only nd does not hve n internl/externl rely or lod control. If using controls tht re equipped with n internl/externl rely or lod control, it is importnt to cp off this feture s it will not e used. Trouleshooting 3
