WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Indoor Fixtures

1

Connect positive supply wire (a) (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of

the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead (b) with appropriately sized twist

on connector - See Drawings 1 or 2.

2

Connect negative supply wire (c) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of

the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead (d).

3

Please refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical

connections.
Outdoor Fixtures

1

Connect positive supply wire (a) (typically black or the smooth unmarked side of

the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead (b) with appropriately sized twist

on connector - See Drawings 2 or 3.

2

Connect negative supply wire (c) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of

the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead (d).

3

Cover open end of connectors with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal.

• If installing a wall mount fixture, use caulk to seal gaps between the fixture

mounting plate (backplate) and the wall. This will help prevent water from

entering the outlet box. If the wall surface is lap siding, use caulk and a fixture

mounting platform specially.

screws in strap.

Any remaining tapped hole may be used for the ground screw.

Chain Hung Fixtures

Loop fixture ground wire (e) (typically copper or green plastic coated) under the

head of the ground screw (2) on fixture mounting strap (1) and connect to the

loose end of the fixture ground wire directly to the ground wire of the building

system with appropriately sized twist-on connectors - See Drawing 2.

Post-Mount Fixtures

Connect fixture ground wire (e) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to

power supply ground with appropriately sized twist-on connector inside post.

Cover open end of connector with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal - See
