FAQ
Performance
What type of surge suppression is standard and/or available?
Answer: Surge suppression is provided as part of the driver or power supply. Typically this is a 3kV
rating but varies depending on the specific model and brand of the driver. A voltage surge
suppressor (Cat. No. BSP3-480 by Thomas Research Products) is optional on ABHG and would be
mechanically secured to the wiring compartment.

Applications
Can 0-10V dimming be used to dim the fixture below 10%?
Answer: No. The dimming card used to dim Albeo fixtures can only reduce the lumen output to 10%.

How many fixtures can be linked together with βDaisy Chainβ dimming
option?
Answer: The number of fixtures allowed on a continuous daisy chain dimming line is dependent on
the 0-10V controller. Each fixture requires a source and sink current of 0.5mA. This means that the
0-10V dimming controller must be capable of supplying the appropriate amount of current for the
number of fixtures on the daisy chain.

If there are 84 fixtures intended to be used on a single dimming controller using the Daisy Chain
option, the 0-10V controller must be capable of supplying

How are various key parts serviced in the field (driver cards, dimming
modules, driver, etc.)
Answer: The Albeo fixtures all have drivers/power supplies that can be field replaced by qualified
persons. Some options like sensors or wireless controllers can also be field replaced. Most other
parts are not field-serviceable.

What are the implications of installing in environment withβ¦
Chlorine (Natatoriums, pools, etc.)
Answer: The chlorine is very corrosive so extended exposure can cause significant damage to
any metal parts of a fixture including the enclosure and electrical components.
