Tools Required
• wiring tools
• 3/32" hex key
• 3/16" hex key
• 5/16" Socket wrench
• Flat head screwdriver or ¼" socket wrench
Included components:
• Uplights, with wiring harnesses, pre‐installed in front horizontal beam
• Down lights, with wiring harness and connectors, one per rafter
• Wayfinding lights, with wiring harness, two per unit
• Glass solar panel with brackets and attaching hardware
• 16 batteries with wiring harness
INSTALLATION:
Order of installation: Install batteries in front horizontal beam. Batteries are installed in a Velcro harness
to facilitate easier removal, if needed. Install downlights. Install wayfinding lights. Connect wiring
harnesses to driver. Install fuse. Run test of lights.
1.
Remove access cover in horizontal beam near front right post. Ensure Velcro strip is installed on
front horizontal beam. Secure one end of long Velcro harness to the top half of the strip mounted in
the horizontal beam. Connect (‐) lead of the battery harness to the first battery (‐). Install short
jumper harness to the positive pole of the battery as shown in Fig. 2. Attach the other end of the
jumper harness to the second battery. Install the second battery. Repeat this process for batteries 3
th
and 4, with the 4
battery hooking up to the main wire harness (+) connector. Repeat this process
for the remaining batteries. See Fig. 4 for wiring reference. Slide each battery into Velcro harness as
it is being installed. Once all batteries are installed, twist Velcro strap and secure it to the bottom of
the mating Velcro strip in the horizontal beam, see Fig. 3.
2.
First rafter downlight: make connection at front horizontal to quick disconnect. Push rafter light
connection through grommet. Grommets may be removed to push wires through and then
reinstalled, if necessary. See Fig. 5. Using a 3/32" hex key, attach downlight to rafter using (6) #8‐32
x 5/16 socket button head cap screws, located in hardware pack #62599. Do not overtighten screws.
3.
Install remaining rafter downlights: make connection to quick disconnects. Push connection through
grommet on front horizontal beam. Attach downlight to rafter, see Fig. 5.
4.
Unused grommets on rear horizontal beam can be sealed with clear or black silicone (supplied by
others).
5.
Install left and right side rafter skins, with the sharper angle of the skin toward the front of the
rafter. See Fig. 6. Rafter skins have a boss on the bottom flange that hooks into the downlight, see
Fig. 6. Hook the bottom of the skin into position and then rotate the top of skin up to the rafter
beam. Using a 3/16" hex key, install (2) ¼‐20 x ¾" socket head cap screws, located in hardware pack
#62599. Tighten until gap between light and rafter skin is gone and rafter skin does not rattle. Do
not overtighten screws.
6.
Wayfinding lights: Run wiring harness up through front vertical post. On the front left side of the
unit, remove the access cover on the front horizontal beam. Make connection from the wiring
harness to the quick disconnect located in the beam. Secure LED to front vertical post, using (4) 8‐32
x ½" hex head machine screws with external tooth lock washer, located in hardware pack #62810,
see Fig. 7. Before final tightening of screws, ensure only the lens from the light is showing through
the front opening. Repeat for opposite side. Install cover plates, using (2) ¼‐20 x ½" socket head cap
screws, located in hardware pack #62607, see Fig. 8. Make connection to pre‐installed wiring
harness labeled "wayfinding light".
7.
Driver plate assembly: Attach driver plate to front horizontal beam, in the front right access
location, see Fig. 9.
8.
Make connections to PDM as labeled: Uplight, Wayfinding (x2), Downlight, see Figs 10 and 11. Make
connections to Morningstar unit, in the order noted on the device. When all of the wiring
connections are complete, install the fuse, see Fig. 9.
