Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.

AC Power

To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of

the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average

current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures 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. Before applying power to a fixture, check that the
source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement. Check the fixture 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 fixture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the
voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to
circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
