Components for Installing SS Series Fixtures
Reector/ballast cover must be installed to complete enclosure! Assemble reector part
RSFSS8-844UP-W only with BP-S082/ S081 Strip xture!
BR-S4-2LE-P-SS
Install socket/
socket bracket
assembly into
slots at end of
xture. Twist end
of tab with pliers
to insure locking
as shown.
BP-S054
If xture is run
across red iron,
use Bracket
Connector Kit for
alignment and
stiening.
BP-S009 or
BP-S067
If xture is run
with red iron,
use either a
slide-in connector
for alignment
proposes.
BP-S068
If xture is at the
end of a row, use
Tall End Plate
to cover end of
xture.
HW-F041
Attach alignment
clips to join
next reector if
required.
MAINTENANCE
It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of the refractor to maintain the light
level. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the ambient dirt level and the minimum light
level which is acceptable to the user. The optional acrylic plastic lens should be washed
in a solution of warm water and any mild non-abrasive household detergent, rinsed
with clean water and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly become dirty on the inside,
wipe the reector and clean the inside of the lens in the above manner. Use of abrasive
cleansers will shorten the life of the optical assembly.
