WIRING INSTRUCTIONS:
Mono-Point Mount: Connect the socket leads (Black/Blue) to Blue, (White/Red) to
Red and the Green Ground Lead to the ballast leads. (Figure 5) Connect the primary
leads (Black-to-Black, White-to-White, and Green-to-Green) on the Ballast/Supply side.
Take the ballast plate and attach the (4) Brass screws through the slots into the
threaded brackets. Connect the primary leads from the junction box to the primary
leads of the fixture (Black-to-Black, White-to-White, and Green-to-Green). Attach the top
round wiring compartment to the junction box and tighten the (2) Philips/Straight
Blade screws.
The white socket lead with the Red identification marker gets connected to the red
ballast lead. The black socket lead with the blue identification marker gets
connected to the blue ballast lead. The green socket lead wiring gets connected to
the green ballast lead and green housing lead. Warning: When cutting the jacketed
socket lead wiring, avoid slitting the individual wire conductor’s insulation which
could cause arcing.
Per UL1598 and NEC 300.14, “at least 150mm (6in.) of free conductors and less
than 8 in., measure from the point in the box where it emerges from its raceway or
cable sheath shall be left at each outlet, junction and switch point for splices or the
connector of luminaires or devices”.
