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 all wiring be performed by a qualified electrician. 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.

Assembly Instructions

1. Preparing for installation.

A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or

servicing any part of this fixture.

B. After removing fixture from carton, place unit on a flat

surface. To gain access to wiring compartment, remove
thumbnuts (7), then ballast cover (9) by pressing at the
dimples on the side of the cover (4) and rotating up and
off. Remove appropriate knockout(s) for power supply
entry.

2. Fixture mounting.

A. To prevent light leaks between the fixture and ceiling,

attach supplied foam gasket (11) to lens frame (10),
adhesive side to frame.

B. To locate, hold fixture/frame assembly (2) up to ceiling

with power supply knockout located over entryway for
power supply wires. Mark the locations of the four 1/4”
diameter-mounting holes in the mounting brackets (1)
on the ceiling. Take the fixture assembly down and
punch a small hole into the ceiling 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 fixture assembly. Where there is no joist to screw into use a ¼” toggle bolt (not included) of suitable
length to mount fixture securely to the ceiling.

C. Feed the black and white supply wires, and the green ground wire into the fixture through open knockout hole (3). At this time you can

finish mounting the fixture assembly to the ceiling.

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 luminaire disconnect (provided), insert white supply wire into the hole across from white ballast lead. Insert black hot supply wire

into hole across from 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 luminaire disconnect.

C. Replace ballast cover (9) by placing one edge of ballast cover into dimples (4), swing upward, press cover allowing second edge to catch

second set of dimples and lock in place. Make sure no wires become crimped between cover (9) and channel (2). Lock the cover in place
by re-attaching thumb nuts (7).

D. Install appropriate lamps (6) (F32T8, not included) by inserting lamp pins into lamp holder. Rotate into place to seat lamp for proper

connection. It may be necessary to slide the lamps into the lens frame at an angle, and then up to the lamp holders.

E. Install diffuser (7) by sliding one corner of the lens into a corner of the frame until the short end of the diffuser is totally inside of the

frame. Slide the diffuser into the frame until the other end of the lens clears the inside edge of the frame. Lower the diffuser until it rests in
to the bottom of the frame.

4. Restore power at fuse or circuit breaker box.
