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.
This fixture is designed for use in a 120-277VAC, 60Hz fused circuit.
Do not use on a dimming circuit.
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 indoor 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 wire way cover assembly (3) by removing four
screws.
2. Fixture mounting.
A. To locate, hold channel (5) up to the wall with 2-inch hole
located over entryway for power supply wires. Mark the
locations of the keyhole slots on the wall. Take the channel
down and punch a small hole into the wall 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. Where there is no joist to screw into use a toggle bolt
(not included) of suitable length to mount channel securely to
the wall.
B. Feed the black and white supply wires, and the green ground
wire into the fixture through the 2-inch opening.
3. 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 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 provided
green ground screw.
B. 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.
C. Install wire way cover assembly (3) onto channel with screws and secure.
D. Install appropriate lamp(s) (2) (not included) by inserting lamp pins into lamp holder. Rotate into place to seat lamp for proper connection.
4. Diffuser mounting.
A. Remove frame-mounting screws (4) from channel (5). Position frame (1) over the mounted fixture channel (5), align holes
and secure with frame-mounting screws (4).
Power to the fixture can now be restored.
