Installation for IntelliTouch and EasyTouch Load Center The following describes how to install the Light Direct Connect in the IntelliTouch load and power center and EasyTouch load center. Note: For SunTouch power center installation, see page 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Unlatch the two load center door spring latches, and open the front door. Remove the two retaining screws securing the high voltage cover-panel. Remove the panel from the load center.
Installing for SunTouch Power Center 1. 2. 3. To access the SunTouch Power Center electronics compartment, unlatch the front door and loosen the retaining screw on front panel. Open the hinged front panel to access the electronics compartment. Proceed to “Installing the Light Direct Connect Fitting Using NonMetallic (PVC) Conduit” (page 6), or “Red Brass Conduit” for installation instructions” (page 9).
Installing the Light Direct Connect Fitting Using Non-Metallic (PVC) Conduit 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove one 3/4” knockout from the load center for the PVC conduit. Position the LOCK NUT over the load center knockout opening to align the lock nut and knockout opening. While holding the lock nut in place, insert the BUSHING through the knockout and into the lock nut thread. Hand tighten the bushing into the lock nut. Using a 1” pipe wrench, tighten the bushing to secure in place.
8. Insert the LIGHT CORD and the COPPER BONDING GROUND WIRE into the CORD GRIP. 9. Slide (or twist) the CORD GRIP down to the bushing. Leave a short length of copper bonding ground wire, enough to secure it to the ground terminal screw. 10. Screw the CORD GRIP into the BUSHING thread. Hand tighten the cord grip to secure the cord in place. If needed, adjust the cord grip nut to allow the cord grip more thread into the hub. 11.
13. Connecting the Copper Bonding Ground Wire: Insert the COPPER BONDING GROUND WIRE into the BONDING TERMINAL. Using a torque wrench, tighten the bonding terminal screw to a torque value of 25 in-lbs (minimum). 14. Connect the light cord ground wire (green) to the LOAD CENTER GROUND bus. 15. Seal the cord grip using a polyurethane insulating foam sealant (such as Great Stuff ®) at the cord grip cap, where the light cord exits, to restrict circulation of air flow through the conduit and cord grip.
Installing the Light Direct Connect Fitting Using Red Brass Conduit 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove one 3/4” knockout from the load center for the 1/2” for red brass conduit. Position the LOCK NUT over the load center knockout opening to align the lock nut and knockout opening. While holding the lock nut in place, insert the BUSHING through the knockout and into the lock nut thread. Hand tighten the bushing into the lock nut. Using a 1” pipe wrench, tighten the bushing to secure in place.
7. Insert the LIGHT CORD into the CORD GRIP. 8. Slide (or twist) the CORD GRIP down to the bushing. 9. Screw the CORD GRIP into the BUSHING thread. Hand tighten the cord grip to secure the cord in place. If needed, adjust the cord grip nut to allow the cord grip more thread into the hub. 10. Slide the CORD GRIP CAP down to the top of the CORD GRIP. 11. Using a torque wrench, tighten the cap onto the cord grip to a torque value of 80 in-lbs (minimum).
12. Connect the light cord ground wire (green) to the LOAD CENTER GROUND bus. 13. Seal the cord grip using a polyurethane insulating foam sealant (such as Great Stuff ®) at the cord grip cap, where the light cord exits, to restrict circulation of air flow through the conduit and cord grip. Note: The approved "duct seal type/method" is determined/ controlled by the local authority jurisdiction (NEC article 680.24). 14. Conduit Connection: Insert the brass conduit into the bushing thread.
