High-Intensity Light Fixture Assembly
Step 1.
Remove the protective plastic film from the black side of the Light Fixture Hoods. Place a Light Fixture Hood upside down on
a level surface. This will reveal the Ballast Clips inside (Figure 3).
Important:
Do not install the Light Tubes until Step 6.
Step 2.
Locate the Ballasts and note that each end of the Ballast has an open pin (female) and closed pin (male) socket.
Important:
Place the Ballasts into the Hood so that male and female ends alternate at each end of the Light Fixture, exactly as shown in
Figure 3. One end will be male-female-male (as shown) and the other end will be female-male-female. Push a Ballast into each set
of Clips, making sure to center the Ballasts in place (Figure 3). Use the same configuration for both Light Fixtures.
Step 3.
Plug the Electrical Cord into the male end of one outside Ballast (Figure 4).
Step 4.
On the same end of the Light Fixture, connect the other two Ballasts together by plugging in the Link Cord provided with the
T-5 Lights, as shown in Figure 4. Snap it firmly into place. (The Link Cord is specifically molded to fit only one way on the end of
each Ballast. If is does not fit, make sure the Ballasts are positioned with alternate male and female sockets at each end of the Light
fixture.)
Step 5.
On the opposite end of the Light Fixture, use a Link Cord to connect the Ballast that's attached to the Electrical Cord to the
center Ballast. All three Ballasts should now be connected to each other. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 for the other fixture.
Step 6.
To install the Light Tubes, slide the pins on the Light Tube into the Ballast sockets, then gently twist the tube 90 degrees until
it “locks” into place (Figure 5). Installing the Tubes correctly ensures that they will produce the optimum amount of light. Do not
force the Tubes into place. Repeat to install all Light Tubes. Place one Light Fixture on each Poly Tray in the assembled Frame. Turn
them over so that the Tubes are facing down and the Power Cords are on the same end of the Frame.
