Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one way cool, way THIN LED PAR fi x-
ture! Now that you’ve got The Puck™ RGBA (or hopefully, Pucks!), 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).
