and/or property damage.

It is recommended that all wiring be performed by a qualified

Assembly Instructions

1. Preparing for installation

A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of

this fixture.

B. Remove fixture from carton; remove backpan assembly (4) and diffuser

assembly (9).

All wiring must take place inside junction box. 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. 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 ground supply wire.

Make sure that the power source conforms to the requirements of the
fixture. (See labels on fixture housing). Model numbers ending in
MV are designed for use in a 120-277VAC, 60Hz fused circuit (Do
not use on a dimming circuit).
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.

This fixture is intended to be used for general indoor lighting in dry
or damp locations only.

A. For wiring ballast power leads and power supply wires use Ballast
Disconnect Instructions (included).
B. Tuck all connections neatly into junction box.

backpan/bracket assembly as a template, hook up the assembly on the
gem bar by using top plate (3) tab -see picture below).

C. If installed on the dry wall, drill two .25” dia holes 1 1/2” deep. Install

two anchors (7) (included) on the wall.
