Step One: Remove existing components from host fixture. Locate the fluorescent lighting fixture that is to be retrofitted. Turn off power. WARNING: Electrical shock can occur during retrofit component installation if power is not turned off. WARNING: Installation of this retrofit assembly requires a person familiar with the construction and operation of fluorescent luminaire electrical system and the hazard involved. WARNING: Unless otherwise indicated, do not make or alter any opening in the compartment of wiring or electrical components during installation of this retrofit assembly. WARNING: Ensure that existing fixture is and remains properly connected to building ground. Use of any other than Lithonia Lighting supplied screws to install assembly may result in ungrounded fixture components. Remove existing louver, lamps and channel cover. Identify power supply wires to disconnect. Follow installation step 2 wiring option A or B based on incoming supply wire. Remove ballast, sockets and lampholder bracket. Recycle or properly dispose of all components removed from host fixture. Step Two: Install relight assembly. Install end brackets to 2 length (socket side) of fixture. Install end bracket assembly by inserting bottom flange between bottom of fixture end plate and tee-bar. Center end bracket and attach using two 8-32 self-drilling TEK screws through the small holes at the top of the bracket (provided). Repeat on opposite end of fixture as shown.
Optional Step: The 2RT8RT/2RT5RT Relight Assembly is shipped with two flexible reveal cover trim pieces. Some installations in existing lensed troffers can leave unsightly gaps between the side rail of the Relight door frames and the existing housing, which can leave old hinge and latch points exposed. The trim kit is designed to cover these to insure an attractive installation. To install, slide the ends of the trim piece under the Relight end brackets as shown in in the photo. When they are fully in place, slide the notch of the trim piece towards the end bracket to fully seat the part. The part is flexible so this step can typically be completed either before or after full installation of the Relight assembly. Optional Step: FLANGE SITS ON T-BAR BENEATH FIXTURE Option A: Fixture Supply wire is (2) #18AWG solid 1) Remove splice to existing ballast. 2) Connect #18AWG black and white to RT8RT/RT5RT ballast disconnect. Option B: Fixture supply wire is any other than (2) #18 AWG solid 1) Cut ballast input leads 6 " from splice, and strip lead to 3/8. 2) Connect #18 AWG black and white (old ballast input lead) to RT8RT/RT5RT ballast disconnect. 3) Install splice box to cover input wire splice, using two TEK screws. Make wire connections and ground assembly to host fixture per option A or B based on existing fixture supply wire. Option A and B (see photos on next page)
Option A and B (continued) Install reflectors by inserting notched end of the reflector past lance in end bracket assembly and then rotating opposite end (end accepting twistlock fasteners) into fixture. Shift reflector until notches are locked in place under lance and attach using a quarter-turn fastener twisting tabs that protrude through the reflectors (spacers). Rotate second reflector 180 and repeat installation steps. Install lamps. Use center slot in housing to clear lamp pins. Install trim assembly by inserting hinge into slot of end bracket and sliding back into the corner. Repeat with opposite hinge, swing louver closed and rotate latches into locked position. Trim hinges and latches from either side. Simply slide hinge into slot s universal bracket assembly, close door and engage cam latches.
