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

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,

diffuser and hardware kit.

C. Install four metal brackets (2) on the diffuser (1) with four

(3) screws.

D. Thread two (5) screws (provided) into the cross gem bar

(6). Leave about ½” length exposed.

E. Install cross gem bar (6) on the junction box (not provided) by securing it with two (4) screws.

2. Wiring

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.

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. 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.

B. For wiring ballast power leads and power supply

wires use Ballast disconnect Instructions (provided).

C. Tuck all connections neatly into junction box.

3. Mounting

A. Align the backpan (7) keyslots with screws (5). Insert screws

(5) through the keyslot openings. Twist backpan and secure it
by tightening screws (5).

4. Lamps

A. Install compact fluorescent lamps (8) (not provided) into

sockets (9).

5. Diffuser mounting

A. Raise diffuser to ceiling pan and align diffuser brackets with

all 4 ceiling pan slots.

B. Insert diffuser over slots and then rotate 1/8 turn clockwise

until diffuser brackets rest in corresponding notches.

C. Verify brackets are properly seated in notches by attempting to rotate diffuser. It should NOT rotate if properly installed.

6. Power to the fixture can now be restored.
