Getting It Out Of The Box
Brrrrrrrrr! Did it just get colder in here?! Now that you’ve been Snowballed™, you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents
to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything
looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save
the carton and all packing materials. If a fi xture must be returned to
the factory, it is important that the fi xture be returned in the original
factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
All fi xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot
be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to
100% switch.
AC Voltage Switch - Not all fi xtures have a voltage select switch, so
please verify that the fi xture you receive is suitable for your local pow-
er supply. See the label on the fi xture or refer to the fi xture’s specifi -
cations chart for more information. A fi xture’s listed current rating is
its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fi xture or
device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists
that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit
matches the line voltage applied. Damage to your fi xture may
result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage
indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fi xtures must be
connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
