OMNI Puck
Installation instructions for OMNI-3KIT and OMNI-1 Series
WARNING: These products may represent a possible shock or re hazard if improperly installed or attached in any way. Products
should be installed in accordance with these instructions, current electrical codes and/or the current National Electric Code (NEC).
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect or disable power at the source prior to installation or maintenance.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, use only with 12V DC plug-in power supply or with 12V DC hardwire power supply.
Factory warranty will be void if used with a non-recommended power supply, transformer, or driver.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The OMNI Puck is IP44 rated and intended for indoor use in dry locations only. Do not use in the vicinity of standing water or
liquids. Do not submerge in water or liquids.
2. Do not use if there is any damage to the unit or to the power cord’s insulation. Inspect periodically.
3. Do not route cords or units through walls, doors, windows or any similar part of a building structure.
4. Do not secure unit or its power cord with staples, nails, or any other sharp objects that may damage xture.
5. Please read and understand these instructions before beginning installation.
IMPORTANT
Risk of shock or re hazard: This xture utilizes a constant voltage design and has a maximum number of pucks that can be
connected to a power supply, depending upon the power supply’s capacity and the type of installation. Do not exceed
capacity of power driver used, nor maximum number of pucks per the examples below. Each puck consumes 3 watts. For all
drivers, a maximum load less than or equal to 80% of its capacity will result in maximum driver life.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
3-light OMNI Kits (OMNI-3KIT-XX items) include three OMNI Pucks with surface mounting hardware and a plug-in 12-watt
power supply, c/UL/us Listed for indoor use with attached 6ft power cord and 3-port connection hub on a 24AWG lead, also 6
feet in length. Kits are designed to be used in a hub system as illustrated below.
Bulk/individual OMNI Pucks (OMNI-1-XX items) are available to build sytems with more or less than three pucks. Bulk pucks
have a 24 AWG lead wire, 6 feet in length, each of the two conductors is stripped back to 3/8” for attaching to a plug-in or
hardwire driver with a regulated 12V DC output.
Determine the quantities and locations of OMNI Pucks that will be needed, whether pucks will be surface mounted or
recessed, and what type of power supply (plug-in or hardwire) will be best.

Surface mounting
1. Separate the surface ring from the OMNI Puck housing. With the puck
lens facing away from you, hold the surface ring with your ngers
and press on the center of the back of the puck with your thumbs to
separate housing from surface ring. See Figure 1.
2. Determine desired locations for each puck and mark the locations of
the mounting holes on the mounting surface, using the surface ring
as a template. Note: Each puck has a 72” lead wire which needs to be
routed to the power connection hub (for kits) or to the driver (for
bulk pucks). Be sure to locate the puck lights and power hub (or
driver) so that each puck can reach it.
3. Before attaching the surface ring to the mounting surface, route the
lead wire through the installation notch. See Figure 1.
4. Secure surface ring using appropriate mounting hardware.
5. Gently push the puck light into the surface ring until it is fully seated,
making sure the lead wire is not pinched or crimped in any way.
