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 specification. 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.
1x ENX lamp (360 W, 82 V)
1x User Manual
1x Warranty Card
Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a
suitable Ground.
