1. Preparing for Installation
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part
of this fixture.
B. Remove channel (2); place the diffuser (1) and the yellow bag with
hardware off to the side.
2. Wiring.
All wiring must take place inside junction box.
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 wire 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
back of fixture with provided hardware.
B. Using wire connectors (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 lead to make sure connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires are
exposed outside of wire connectors.
