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.
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 all contents from packaging.
C. Remove the four screws (4) from end cap (2).
D. Slide diffuser (1) off channel (6)
E. Remove wire way cover (7) by squeezing along channel (6).
F. Remove the appropriate knockout(s) for power supply entry.
G. Install junction box cover plate (5) to junction box with #8
screws (not provided).
2. Fixture mounting
A. To locate, hold channel (6) up to the wall with power supply
knockout located over entryway for power supply wires. Mark
the locations of the mounting holes 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. Install junction box cover plate (5). Proceed to step B before final
mounting.
B. Feed the black and white supply wires, and the green ground wire into the fixture through the open knockout hole. At this time you can
finish mounting the channel 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 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 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 to make sure connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside of wire connectors.
C. Install wire way cover (7) by laying one edge down and around edge of channel (6) then snap opposite edge of cover down and around
edge of channel.
D. Install appropriate lamp(s) (8) (not included) by inserting lamp pins into lamp holder. Rotate into place to seat lamp for proper connection.
4. Diffuser mounting
A. Slide diffuser (1) & end cap (2) over channel assembly and align holes in end cap with support bracket (3). Insert screws (4) and hand
tighten.
5. Power to the fixture can now be restored
