Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a product, 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

AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular product, see the label affixed to the back plate
of the product or refer to the product’s specifications chart. A product’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, check that the source voltage matches the product’s requirement.
Check the product 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! If applicable, verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth
Ground.
