Wiring
WARNING: The luminaire must be grounded as required by the National Electrical Code (Paragraph 410.21 and Article 250) or
Canadian Electrical Code (Rule 30-500 and Section 10). Verify that ground continuity has been established by using an Ohm meter or
other suitable testing equipment before energizing the luminaire. Failure to properly ground the luminaire will create an electric shock
hazard, which can cause serious injury or death.
Please use supply wires with temperature rating 90°C or above
Wiring the Rigmaster™ LED Luminaire with Wire Nut Option
Note: Each wire nut can accept 2 # AWG12 (user wires) with 1 # AWG18 wires (Luminaire wire). Use the appropriate wire gauge based on the
application. Refer to the table below for power system application.
