First remove the four cables and the power cord sub-assemblies that are packed in the plastic bag.

• Install the power cord top strain relief (10) by using the 1/8IPS hex nut (9) to

mechanically secure to the 13/32 diameter hole on the canopy (5).
NOTE: You need to connect the in-line power service to the power cord – First, to
adjust the length of the cord, you must loosen the outside portion of the top strain relief
(10), with the wire nut provided connect the black in-line power service to the power cord
black wire, next with the wire nut provided connect the in-line white wire to the white
wire of the power cord, now with the wire nut provided connect the in-line ground wire
to the power cord green wire.

• Install the canopy (3) to the plate (6) by aligning the four ¼-20 screws to the canopy (3)

four 9/32 diameter holes, with one your hands holding up the canopy to the plate, install
the four cable top holders (11) to the four ¼-20 screws (5). Make sure that cable top holders are mechanically secured.

proper length and tighten to secure the desired length.

• Fourth, install the power cord bottom strain relief (12) at the 13/32 diameter hole near the ballast side as it is shown in Fig 2 and make sure to

mechanically secure it with the bottom 1/8IPS hex nut (14).

Note: Make sure the power cord length is longer (1/2 inch) than the cable wire length. (to adjust cord length, loosen-up the outside portion of the
strain relief (12) then adjust to proper length and tighten to secure the desired length.

6. Wiring the Fixture

A.

First, connect the ballast black wire with the wire nut provided to the black wire of the power cord (17), now, connect the ballast white wire with the wire nut
provided to the white wire of the power cord and with the wire nut provided connect the power cord green wire to the ground wire of the fixture (Fig 1).

B. Now, re-install the channel cover (2) to the channel (1) as per the instruction in Fig 3.
