Determine the wiring distance between the power unit and the junction box which will be located directly above the AIR pendant. Select the appropriate wire gauge to be used for the DC wiring between the power unit and junction box according to Table A, B or C. Prepare a junction box at the desired location that is rated to support the 29 pounds/13 kilograms weight of the AIR pendant. NOTE: Increasing wire lengths beyond the distances recommended in Tables A, B and C may affect light ouput and EMC compliance. Prepare Power Unit Enclosure Local ordinances require an electrical enclosure for the power supplies. The size and type of enclosure will depend upon where it is to be installed. Mount the power supplies in a metal enclosure as follows: Select a suitable metal enclosure no smaller than 16" x 8" x 4" (406.4mm x 203.2mm x 101.6mm). Mount the power supplies to the metal enclosure using the supplied thermal pad material to ensure good thermal contact. NOTE: The power supplies have a maximum operating temperature of 70 C (158 F). Undersizing the enclosure or mounting the unit with poor thermal contact may result in decreased driver lifetime and void the warranty. Page 3
Installing the Power Unit (cont.) Connecting the Power Unit Ensure that the AC circuit is de-energized. Mount the power unit in the selected location. Using wire nuts, connect suitable wiring from the DC side of the power unit to the ceiling junction box using the appropriate wire gauge as determined in the planning section (red vand black wiring). Optional: Install the line filter on the AC side of the power supplies (required for Class B, residential installations). D0 NOT use with 277 VAC installations. Connect the control wiring to the DC side of the power supplies (purple and gray leads) using wire nuts. See NEC Article 725 for details. Connect the power unit to the AC wiring using wire nuts. Ensure cable entry and exit ports of the metal enclosure are properly closed and cables are secured. Inspect mounting and connections to ensure proper installation. Replace the lid on the enclosure.

Feed each of the four ball terminated aircraft cables through the four holes in the bottom portion until the balls are properly seated in the bottom. Replace the plunger and top cover on the sputnik. Feed the unterminated aircraft cable through the central hole on the sputnik. NOTE: If your installation has been specified to use the optional AIR by 3M 3-Cable Suspension System or the AIR by 3M Surface Mounting Kit, refer to the appropriate AIR by 3M Installation Guide enclosed with your AIR by 3M Accessory Kit for instructions before proceeding. Figure 5. Disassembling the Sputnik Plunger Top Cover Page 4
Mounting the AIR Pendant Feed each of the four span cables into the angled cable grippers on the AIR pendant. Adjust the lengths of the aircraft cables going to the central sputnik until there is even tension on each cable and the AIR pendant will hang at the desired tilt angle. If needed, cables can be slid back out of the gripper by depressing the plunger and pulling on the cable. note: When the AIR pendant is hung level, the minimum angle of the span cables, as measured from horizontal, must be no less than 20 otherwise the load bearing ability of the cables can be comprised (distance from the central sputnik to the angled gripper is no less than 19 inches). See Figure 6. note: The AIR pendant may be hung tilted if desired. However, the minimum angle of the span cables must still be no less than 20 as measured from horizontal. The maximum tilt angle of the AIR pendant that is permitted is 30. See Figure 7. Mount the bracket bar to the junction box as shown in Figure 8 and insert the 1/4 20 stud. Support the AIR pendant at the desired height taking care to protect the finishes. Trim the power cord to the appropriate length. Connect the power cord to the DC wiring using wire nuts. Single cable option: Mount the canopy plate by screwing the side exit gripper into the 1/4 20 stud as shown in Figure 8 and securing it against the ceiling. Triple cable option: Mount the canopy plate adapter to the canopy plate using the 1/4 20 stud as shown in Figure 9 and securing it against the ceiling. Feed the aircraft cable into the side exit gripper(s) until the AIR pendant hangs at the desired height. When installing threaded gliders DO NOT OVER-TorQUE THE THREADS. Finger-tighten only and wrench-tighten a quarter turn further, but no more.! Warning To reduce risk associated with physical injury from the AIR pendant falling: Do not place the AIR pendant in a moving-air environment unless it is laterally/seismically braced. Continuous oscillation may cause metal fatigue in the cabling systems, leading to cable failure. Avoid placing the AIR pendant close to HVAC vents. For more information please contact 3M. The angle of the span cables, as measured from horizontal, must be set up as shown in the Installation Guide. Do not install the AIR pendant in any orientation other than that shown in the Installation Guide. Figure 6. Minimum Angle of Span Cables 19" MIN Figure 7.
