Smart & Control Features
The SEAL4/E linear washdown vapor tight supports standard wired dimming and optional factory-configured or field-programmable sensing and wireless automation:
- 0–10V Continuous Dimming (Standard): Dims smoothly down to 10% on standard 0–10V DC low-voltage control circuits. Compatible with commercial dimmers and centralized building automation systems (BAS).
- Lightcloud Blue Wireless Mesh (Optional Configuration): Available in Lightcloud Blue-enabled Bluetooth Mesh configurations (/LCBS, /LCBS/MVS) for gateway-free wireless commissioning, dimming, and scheduling via the Lightcloud Blue mobile app.
Compatible occupancy sensor options in the SEAL family include Passive Infrared (/PIR & /LCBS, max 40 ft mounting height, 40 ft detection diameter at 40 ft) and Microwave (/MVS & /LCBS/MVS, max 50 ft mounting height, 50 ft detection diameter at 50 ft), as well as PIR20[B][/LCB] and MVS20[B][/LCB] sensors (20 ft detection diameter mounted at 9 ft, sold separately). Field adjustments for non-Lightcloud sensors require the handheld multi-sensor remote control (catalog # MSR1, sold separately).
Electrical
Powered by a Class 2 constant current driver operating on 120–277V AC at 50/60Hz. Delivers high electrical efficiency with a Power Factor of 99.90% at 120V (96.98% at 277V) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of 3.53% at 120V (4.35% at 277V). Integrated 2.5kV surge protection protects internal electronics against transient voltage spikes. Includes pre-wired 0–10V dimming leads and a quick connector for fast wiring.
Emergency Battery Backup: Includes a factory-installed emergency battery backup wired for 120–277V that operates the fixture for a minimum of 90 minutes if primary power fails (Battery Backup Light Loss Factor: 0.207).
