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 110-120VAC, 60Hz fused circuit. Do
not use on a dimming circuit. 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 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 channel cover (4) by squeezing near the
dimples at each end of the fixture channel (5).
C. Remove appropriate knockout(s) for power supply
entry.
2. Fixture Mounting
A. To remove knockout, it is recommended to use a
blunt object facing away from you to punch out.
B. Position the fixture channel (5) onto the wall and
mark all appropriate mounting locations. You may
need someone to help you hold the fixture up.
Take the fixture channel (5) down and punch a
small hole in the wall at each of the locations you
have marked using a nail or an awl to see if there is a wall stud you can mount the fixture to. Where there is a wall stud, use a suitable
screw (not included) to mount the fixture. Where there is no stud to screw into, a 3/16” toggle bolt (not included) must be used to mount the
fixture channel securely to the wall.
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 90
o C (194 o F). Note: Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated to 60 o C. 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. Feed the green (or green and yellow) wire through knockout and securely attach to
provided green ground screw.
B. Feed the white and black wires through knockout. Using provided wire nuts, connect white
supply wire to white ballast wires, connect black hot supply wire to black ballast wires. Pull on
each wire lead to verify all connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires are exposed
outside of the wire nuts. Secure fixture channel (5) to wall.
C. Install sockets into lampholder slots by sliding socket up and through until the tabs are engaged.
Important: Sockets that are flagged (Fig. 2-1) and marked with a dot (Fig. 2-2) correspond to
the one-light circuit and should be placed furthest from the night light. These are the upper set of
sockets when fixture is installed
.
D. Replace channel cover (4) by placing one edge of ballast cover over dimples, swing over
opposite side and press cover allowing second edge to catch the dimples securing the cover (4) onto the channel (5). Make sure no wires
are trapped between the channel cover (4) and fixture channel (5).
E. Fasten divider (6) to channel cover (4) using two 8-32 screws (7).
4. Lamping & Final Assembly
A. Install appropriate lamps (not included): Insert linear lamp pins into lamp holders; rotate lamps into place to seat lamps for proper
connection. Verify there are no large gaps between the lamp end and socket face.
B. Place the diffuser assembly (1) over the channel (5) and mount with screws (2) and finish washers (3).
C. Restore power at fuse or circuit breaker box.
