Output Wiring Requirements

WARNING: All output channels are isolated from each other and require a separate 2
conductor 18 AWG twisted pair shielded wire for each output LED load. When connecting LED
loads to output cables observe ‘+’ and ‘-‘ polarity connections to prevent damage to loads. To
reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not interconnect output terminations.

WARNING: Wire shields on all output cable extensions MUST be connected ONLY to the Kirlin
SmartSupply™ output cable shields for effective RFI/EMI suppression. In MRI applications, DO
NOT connect the wire/cable shields OUTSIDE of the MRI room to the room shield grounding
bar or to the RFI/EMI filters.

In MRI applications, all wire shields INSIDE the MRI room MUST be terminated to the interior
room shield grounding bar. See diagram on page 15.

A common anode or cathode wiring method for multiple LED loads cannot be used for
the SmartSupply.

All output wires should be connected to their respective LED loads before power up to prevent
inadvertent shorting of outputs. Shorting of outputs will result in shutdown of power unit.
Recycling of AC input will be required to restart unit. Unused wire/channels should be
capped to prevent shorting

Output Class 2 circuit wiring must comply with NEC Article 725 wiring methods or to CEC
section 16-210 wiring methods.

Output cabling should be overall shielded cables with twisted pair conductors (18 AWG to
22AWG) to minimize cross talk between channels and minimize Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI). Consult your local Electrical Safety Authority for acceptability in your end use
application.

With appropriate cabling, the KIRLIN LED SmartSupply may be remote mounted up to 100
feet (30 meters) from the LED loads.

9.3
Analog Interface Cabling and Connections
In the end use application, proper separation between the class 2 control wiring from the analog 010 Vdc interface and AC mains must be observed in accordance with the applicable safety standards and/or NEC/CEC requirements.
The total run length of the 0-10Vdc control wiring (purple and grey) #18 AWG should not exceed 500
feet (150 meters). In situations where the control wiring is greater than 500 feet or electrical noise is
present, shielded twisted pair cabling should be used.

12.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Fixtures Do Not Illuminate
1. Confirm that the wire/cable shields outside of the MRI room are NOT terminated to the room shield

grounding bar. Terminating wire/cable shields on the room shield grounding bar may have damaged
the SmartSupply™ remote driver.
Confirm the installed RFI filter(s) are approved KIRLIN SmartFilters™ RFI-3100D. Use of any other
filter without factory approval is not recommended and may void the warranty.
Verify the SmartSupply is powered on. The green “POWER” indicator light, located on the top of the
unit, should illuminate continuously.
Verify the SmartSupply is dimming properly.
a. When the wall control is supplying 100% output, the green “DIMMING” indicator light should
flash.
b. When the wall control is supplying less than 100% output (dimming), the green “DIMMING”
indicator light should illuminate continuously (no longer flashing) and dim proportionally with the
light fixtures.
Check for a short circuit or incorrect wiring of fixtures or filters. Consult Wiring Diagrams in Section
11.0.
a. A short circuit will cause the SmartSupply to power off to protect itself. To reset the SmartSupply,
cycle off / on AC input power to SmartSupply.
b. Multiple 20W fixtures must be wired in series.
Disconnect the LED board that is not illuminating from the output channel. Using a true RMS meter,
check output voltage of the output channel. Output voltage should be 27-30V for a properly
functioning channel.
Lights Are Pulsing, Strobing or Flickering
1. Confirm the installed RFI filter(s) are approved KIRLIN SmartFilters™ RFI-3100D. Use of any other
filter without factory approval is not recommended and may void the warranty.
2. Verify the installed dimmer is 0-10V and approved for use with the SmartSupply. Consult Kirlin for
appropriate manufacturers’ models.
3. Verify that 18 AWG (minimum) twisted pair shielded wire is used.
4. Check all wire connections. The most common reason for one or more pulsing / strobing fixtures is a
loose wire connection. One loose wire connection can affect all luminaires on the system.
Some of the Fixtures Are Not Operating
1. Confirm the installed RFI filter(s) are approved KIRLIN SmartFilters RFI-3100D. Use of any other
filter without factory approval is not recommended and may void the warranty.
2. If there are two 20W fixtures per circuit, verify that the fixtures are wired in series. Consult Wiring
Diagrams in Section 11.0.
3. Visually inspect the LED circuit boards in the fixtures that are not operating properly. If one or more
of the LEDs are not illuminated, the LED lighthead requires replacement. Consult Kirlin.
4. Ensure each filter output channel is fed with power from the SmartSupply on the filter’s input side.
Fixtures Do Not Dim
1. Verify the installed dimmer is 0-10V and approved for use with the SmartSupply. Consult Kirlin for
appropriate manufacturers’ models.
2. Check to make certain the gray and purple dimming control leads from the wall box dimmer have
been fully inserted into the dimming contacts located on the top of the SmartSupply.
