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.
