SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing one of the slimmest, most rockworthy
fi xtures anywhere! Now that you’ve got your ROCKER PANEL™ (or
hopefully, ROCKER PANELS!), 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 re-
turned 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).
• Please keep this User Guide for future use. If you sell the unit to someone
else, be sure that they also receive this User Guide.
• ALWAYS make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that
the line voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear panel of the fi xture.
• This product is intended for indoor use only.
• To prevent risk of fi re or shock, do not expose fi xture to rain or moisture.
• Make sure there are no fl ammable materials close to the unit while operating.
• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least
20in (50cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are
blocked.
• ALWAYS disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse
and be sure to replace with same fuse size and type.
• ALWAYS secure fi xture using a safety chain. NEVER carry the fi xture by its
cord. Use its carrying handles.
• DO NOT operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104°F (40°C).
• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.
NEVER try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people
can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.
• NEVER connect the device to a dimmer pack.
• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.
• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
