THE RADIANT TWO
CIRCUIT SYSTEM NEC 411 and UL 1598 specify that the maximum allowablecircuit is 25 AmpsIn order to overcome restrictions this 25 Amp limit,wehave included a 2nd 25 Amp circuit in the fixture itselfNo complex calculations are needed The second 25 Amp circuit is automatically accessed with any of our RAD 200 series connector accessories RADIANT CHECKSUM™ SYSTEM THE RADIANT CHECKSUM SYSTEM > is our unique, simple and accurate method of ensuring that every Radiant Linear LowVoltage System is properly circuited and meets applicable U.L. and N.E.C. codes, which allow a maximum of 25 amps perLow Voltage circuit. TRADITIONAL AMPERAGE CALCULATIONS Traditionally extensive calculations were necessary to determine the size and number of transformers, circuits, feed locations
and overcurrent protection devices needed for a linear low voltage system. HERE IS THE MATH FOR EXAMPLE 317 feet x 12 inches/foot = 3804 inches
3804 inches / 2.125 inches on center = 1790 lamps manufacturer
1790 lamps x 5 watts/lamp = 8950 watts
8950 watts / 24 volts = 373 amps
373 amps x 1.06 (6% Load Margin) = 396 amps
396 amps / 25 amps/circuit = 15.84 16 circuits25 amps each 317 linear feet of linear low voltage
strip with 5 watt lamps, 2.125 inches

Low Voltage strips are 2.125 inches
(54 mm) on center) note:always round up THE RADIANT CHECKSUM SYSTEM > eliminates all the traditional calculations associated with low voltage products. The SUM™ is precalculated based upon the voltage and amperage characteristics of 12 and 24 volt systems, including aLoad Margin.
