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 pow er 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 fixture is designed for use in a 110-120VAC, 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. Make sure to connect the
canopy (8) ground wire to the incoming earth ground from your main
power supply panel.
This fixture is intended to be used for general indoor lighting in dry
locations only.
A. Feed cord (4) through strain relief (7) and center hole in canopy (6).
B. Connect the green ground pig-tail wire attached to the canopy to the supply ground wire
and secure with a wire nut (11).
C. To modify cord length, unscrew strain relief cover (7) from canopy (6). Pull cord (4)
through canopy to desired length. Secure cord by re-attaching strain relief cover.
D. Determine desired cord (4) length for fixture.
E. Once desired mounting length is determined, cut cord allowing for 6 inches of wire for
junction box wiring. Carefully remove outer insulation from cord without damaging lead
wires. Strip lead wires back 3/8 inch for wire nut connections. WARNING: Inspect
modified cord and wires for any damaged insulation.
