Once the transformer has been installed and all fixture locations have been determined, the next step is to run a correctly sized cable from the transformer to the fixtures. FX Luminaire LED fixtures require between 10 and 15 volts for optimal operation and longevity. This is accomplished by the following:
- Group fixtures into distance zones as illustrated on the following page. Do not place a fixture that is 10 feet away from the transformer on the same cable run as one that is 100 feet away.
- Use the proper cabling method for the application. To minimize the voltage differential between fixtures, center-load all cable runs when possible.
- Use a correctly sized cable to accommodate voltage drop. As a general rule of thumb, limit the wattage load per cable run to no more than 160 watts.
