Safety Precautions
Read all safety precautions and installation instructions carefully before
installing or servicing this fixture. Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in potentially fatal electric shock and/or property damage.
It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform all wiring. This fixture
must be wired in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
Do not handle any energized fixture or attempt to energize any fixture with
wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp surface or in water.
Make sure that the power source conforms to the requirements of the fixture.
(See labels on fixture housing).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to assure proper operation, this
fixture must be adequately grounded. To accomplish proper grounding there
must be a separate ground wire (green) or bare metal contact (metal conduit)
between this fixture and the ground connection of your main power supply
panel. The green ground screw location is clearly marked on the fixture
housing.
This fixture is intended to be used for general lighting in dry or damp
locations only
Assembly Instructions
1.
Preparing for installation
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of this fixture.
B. Remove the appropriate knockout(s) for power supply entry.
2.
Fixture assembly (Figure 1)
A. Stretch pre-wired socket(s) (2) out past each end of channel (1).
B. If not completed, snap socket bar (3) into slotted openings in channel (1) (Both ends).
C. If not completed, snap end cap (4) into position and secure with one 8-32 screw (6)
(supplied) (Both ends).
D. Install sockets (2) into lamp holder slots in socket bar (3) by sliding sockets up and
through until the tabs are engaged.
3.
Fixture mounting
A. To locate, hold channel (1) up to ceiling with power supply knockout located over
entryway for power supply wires. Mark the locations of the mounting holes on the
ceiling. Take the channel (1) down and punch a small hole into the ceiling at each
location using a nail or an awl to see if there is a wood joist. If there is a joist use a
suitable wood screw (not included) to mount the channel (1). Where there is no joist to
screw into use a toggle bolt (not included) of suitable length to mount channel (1)
securely to the ceiling. Proceed to step B before final mounting.
B. Feed the black and white supply wires and the green ground
wire into the fixture (1) through the open knockout hole.
At this time you can finish mounting the channel (1) to
the ceiling.
4. Wiring
Caution: Make sure power is off at fuse or circuit breaker box. Check power wires for damage or scrapes. If power supply wires are within
three inches of ballast, use wires suitable for at least 90C (194F). Note: Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated to 60C.
Consult a qualified electrician before installing.
A. This unit will not operate properly unless connected to a “grounded” electrical circuit. Electrical shock, over heating, low or no light
output, and shortened lamp life can result if proper grounding is not done. Securely attach green (or green and yellow) wire to the provided
green ground screw.
B. For models NOT ending in “MV”: using wire connectors (not provided), connect white supply wire to white ballast lead. Connect black
hot supply wire to black ballast lead. Do not mix wires. Pull on each wire to make sure connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires
are exposed outside of wire connectors.
C. For models ending in “MV”: using luminaire disconnect (provided), insert white supply wire into the hole across from white ballast lead.
Insert black hot supply wire into hole across from black ballast lead. Do not mix wires. Pull on each wire to make sure connections are
secure. Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside of luminaire disconnect.
D. Install wire way cover (5) by laying one edge down and around edge of channel (1) then snap opposite edge of cover (5) down and around
edge of channel (1).
E. Install appropriate lamp(s) (7) (not included) by inserting lamp pins into lamp holder. Rotate into place to seat lamp for proper connection.
F. Restore power at fuse or circuit breaker box.
