Assembly Instructions
1. Preparing for installation
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of
this fixture.
B. Thread short screws (2) into the threaded holes of the gem bar (3) that
line up with the holes in fixture mount pan (4).
C. Thread the long screws (1) into the holes in the gem bar that line up
with the 2 threaded tabs in your junction box (not included). Secure

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 green ground screw on gem bar with provided hardware.
B. Using orange wire connectors (provided), connect white supply wire to white ballast lead. Connect black hot supply wire to
black ballast lead. Connect the ground wires. 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.

A. Line up the holes in the fixture mount pan (4) with the short screws (2) from the gem bar and slide the screws through the
holes. Thread the 2 thumbnuts (5) on to the screws until secure.
B. Install 55 watt circline fluorescent lamp (6) into socket (10) by inserting lamp pins and pressing until lamp snaps in place.
