Assembly Instructions
1. Preparing for installation.
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of this fixture.
B. Insert one set of #8-32 x 1-1/2 screws (9) through the top of gem bar (10) with the
threaded portions facing down to line up with the mounting holes in the canopy (6).
C. Attach gem bar (10) to junction box (not provided) in position shown with #8-32 x 1-1/2
screws (8) provided. Note: Allow access into junction box to complete wiring.
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. Feed cord (4) through strain relief (7) and center hole in canopy (6).
B. Connect the green ground pig-tail wire attached to the canopy to the supply ground wire
and secure with a wire nut (11).
C. To modify cord length, unscrew strain relief cover (7) from canopy (6). Pull cord (4)
through canopy to desired length. Secure cord by re-attaching strain relief cover.
D. Determine desired cord (4) length for fixture.
E. Once desired mounting length is determined, cut cord allowing for 6 inches of wire for
junction box wiring. Carefully remove outer insulation from cord without damaging lead
wires. Strip lead wires back 3/8 inch for wire nut connections. WARNING: Inspect
modified cord and wires for any damaged insulation.
F. Using wire connectors (11) provided, connect white (Common/Neutral) supply wire to
one clear fixture lead. Connect black (Hot/Incoming) supply
wire to the other clear fixture lead. Pull on each wire lead to
make sure connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires
are exposed outside of wire connectors.
3. Mounting
A. Tighten gem bar mounting screws (8).
B. Align canopy (6) over mounting studs (9) and fasten with
thumbnuts (5).
C. Tighten strain relief cover (7) to set desired length of cord (4).
4. Lamping/Re-lamping
A. Lift decorative cap (2) and glass diffuser (1) up to expose lamp-holder (13). Install appropriate 26
watt 4-pin fluorescent quad lamp G24q-3 (14) into barrel ballast (12), then install the barrel ballast
with lamp onto the socket (13) by aligning pins and turning clockwise until it stops. Carefully slide
glass and decorative top down to diffuser stop (3).
B. Restore power at fuse or circuit breaker box.
