Assembly Instructions

1. Preparing for installation

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

this fixture.

B. Remove fixture from carton, set back-pan (3), lamp (2) and diffuser

assembly (1) aside. Open hardware bag and remove contents.

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.

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.

B. Using orange wire connectors provided, connect white supply wire to white fixture lead. Connect black hot supply

wire to black fixture lead. Connect the ground wire. Do not mix wires. Pull on each wire lead to make sure connections are secure. Make
certain no bare wires are exposed outside of wire connectors.

This fixture is designed for use in a 120-277VAC, 60Hz. 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. The green ground
screw location is clearly marked on the fixture housing.

This fixture is intended for use for general indoor lighting in dry or
damp locations only.

into outer glass diffuser (6). Align holes, fit outer brackets
(9) thru holes. Attach outer brackets with thumb nuts (8)

B. Mount the diffuser assembly by aligning three brackets with

the large slots on back-pan, lift diffuser assembly (1) up and
