LEDstixx® for Horizontal Refrigeration
Lighting System for UNDER-SHELF Applications
INSTALLATION GUIDE
This installation guide outlines step-by-step instructions
for proper mechanical and electrical installation of the
OSRAM LEDstixx® for Horizontal Refrigeration products
and power supplies. This document should never be
considered a substitute for any provision of a regulation
or state and/or legal code.
WARNING: ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM INSTALLATION
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR COMPONENT DAMAGE, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION OF THE
POWER SUPPLIES AND/OR MODULES.
Failure to install the power supplies and/or LED modules in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), all applicable Federal, State
and local electric codes as well as the specific Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety standards for the installation, location and application
may cause serious personal injury, death, property damage and/or product malfunction.
These instructions are guidelines for installation of LED fixtures and power supplies. Installation requirements may vary depending on the
application. Licensed electricians should provide all installation services for connection for both primary and secondary (input/output) of the
power supplies.
“WARNING”: Risk of fire or electric shock. Luminaires, wiring, ballasts, or other electrical parts may be damaged when drilling for installation
of reflector kit hardware. Check for enclosed wiring and components.
“WARNING”: Risk of fire or electric shock. Reflector/retrofit kit installation requires knowledge of fluorescent lighting luminaires electrical
systems. If not qualified, do not attempt installation. Contact a qualified electrician.
“WARNING”: Risk of fire or electric shock. Install this kit only in luminaires that have the construction features and dimensions shown in the
“product diagram”.
“WARNING”: To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects.
Identification and Warnings of Safety Hazards In accordance with ANSI Z535.4-2002 the following system of identifying the severity of the
hazards associated with the products is used:
“DANGER”: Imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
“WARNING”: Potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
“CAUTION”: Potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or property damage. Also used to
alert against unsafe practices.

1.4 Case Identification
If the installation is a replacement of an existing fluorescent system, it is recommended that the
case manufacturer be identified. Case brand labels are generally displayed near the top of the
case, at the frame header and should identify the manufacturer. Obtaining this information may
be beneficial as many case manufacturers offer specific installation, repair and replacement
documents online. This installation guide is written such that any removal or access instructions
are dictated by the manufacturer’s provisions and to instruct the installer concerning any product
specific instructions once access and provision are made.
WARNING – Turn off and disconnect the power to the case and the ballast before
proceeding with the installation.
1.5 LEDstixx Horizontal Refrigeration Under-Shelf Fixture Installation Instructions
Note: there are two mechanical methods of attaching the LEDstixx Under-Shelf
fixture to the refrigerated case shelving. Installer may either screw the supplied
Mounting Brackets to the existing case shelving OR use optionally available
Tombstone Adaptors that may mount directly to existing fluorescent tombstone
sockets, if available. Existing tombstone sockets are only used for mechanical
mounting and not for making any electrical connection. If not using the optional
Tombstone Adaptors, skip to section 1.5.3.
1.5.1
1.5.2
If using the optional Tombstone Adaptors, snap the Tombstone Adaptors on to the
press fit clips on outer ends of the Mounting Brackets as shown in Figure B.
Snap the Tombstone Adaptors on to the existing fluorescent tombstone sockets as
shown in Figures C and E and skip to section 1.5.6.

The fixture includes two Mounting Brackets (Figure B), one per each end. Attach
one to each end of the fixture with the screw slots facing outwards. Be sure they
are attached such that the screw slots face outwards and such that the side of
the Mounting Bracket with larger inside diameter opening faces the LEDstixx
fixture body. The release clip on the Mounting Bracket allows for opening up the
bracket to install the fixture body and for rotational aiming of the fixture body
after it is installed.
1.5.5
Mark mounting hole locations.
1.5.6
Secure each Mounting Bracket to the horizontal under-shelf surface of the
refrigerated case using two self tapping 3mm screws (not included) in each
bracket.
1.5.7
Install the LEDstixx Under-Shelf fixture body into the Mounting Brackets with the
LEDs aimed in the general direction of the merchandise. See Figures D & E.
1.5.8
Close the release clip on the left side Mounting Bracket.
1.5.9
Rotate LEDstixx Under-Shelf fixture body for aiming.
1.5.10 Close the release clip on the right side Mounting Bracket to lock fixture in place.
The Release Clip and be opened later for future aiming once units are energized.
1.5.11 The LEDstixx Under-Shelf fixture is rotatable in 5° increments. If the fixture body
needs to be aimed, open the right side release clip, rotate the fixture body, and
snap the release clip closed to secure the fixture in the desired position.

ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
2.0 General Instructions:
If additional wiring becomes necessary, it is the responsibility of the installer to provide this wiring
and ensure that the wiring meets all applicable Class 2 requirements as pertains to the installation.
Pay attention to standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when installing the system.
2.1 Wiring Instructions and Power Supply Installation Instructions
2.1.1
When retrofitting a refrigerated case, access the existing fluorescent ballast.
2.1.2
Disconnect the line and load side connectors from the ballast. Unscrew the ballast
mounting screws and remove the ballast.
2.1.3
Install the new Optotronic OT75 power supply and re-use the previous ballast’s
screws to secure the OT75 into the existing mounting holes.
2.1.4
The LEDstixx Under-Shelf fixtures must be wired in parallel to the power supply. Up
to a total of 36 feet of the LEDstixx Under-Shelf fixtures can be operated on one
Osram Sylvania OPTOTRONIC OT75W/24V power supply. See wiring diagram in
Figure H.
2.1.5
Connect 24V output leads from power supply to existing wiring used previously for
the removed fluorescent system making connections for multiple fixtures as shown
in Figure G.
Note:
Depending on the size of the ballast removed, it may become necessary to drill an
additional mounting hole to match the foot print of the LED Power supply. The AC
ground wire from the line side wiring must be firmly bonded to the case of the LED
power supply.
2.2 Wiring Diagrams
Figure G – Basic Wiring Diagram Showing Parallel Connection
Notes:
1. The wiring diagram is purely diagrammatic. The power supply DC output wiring must be
kept separate from any AC wiring. Therefore the orientation of the LEDstixx and
subsequent wiring schemes to maintain this separation must be determined in the field.
2. Contractor is responsible for providing any additional wiring necessary to feed from the
output of the power supply to the fixture input leads noted in the diagram.
3.0 CLEANING and CARE
Cleaning of the LEDstixx Under-Shelf fixture should be done using non-abrasive cleaners and cloths. The outer lens
and the plastic housing should be cleaned




Due to possible product damage, do not use chemical solutions to clean the lens
Keep the outside of fixture clean. Wipe with gentle liquid dish detergent. Dry with a soft cloth
Do not wipe the lens with a wet towel. This could leave a residue that can cause damage
The lens and the housing needs to be cleaned from time to time with a gentle liquid
detergent
 Do not use scouring pads, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because this can scrape and
harm the finish
