PREPARATION
1. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and remove existing
fixture, including the crossbar.
2. Carefully unpack your new fixture and lay out all the parts on
a clear area. Be careful not to lose any small parts necessary
for installation.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE (Fig. 1)
3.
Remove the mounting screw (B) and rubber gasket (C) from
the fixture.
4. Secure the mounting back plate to the junction box using the
screws provided with the junction box.
Note:
(i) using any other non-original-manufacturer provided
junction box screw may result in safty issue;
(ii) The side of the mounting plate marked “GND” must
face out.
CONNECTING THE WIRES (Fig. 2)
5. Connect the fixture’s wires to junction box wires as shown in
Fig. 2, making sure that all wire connectors (A) are secured.
If your outlet box has a green or bare copper ground wire,
connect the fixture’s ground wire to it. Otherwise, connect the fixture’s ground wire directly to the back plate using the green screw provided.
After wires are connected, tuck them carefully inside the junction box.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
6. Secure the fixture to the mounting back plate using the mounting screw (B) and the rubber gasket (C).
7. To prevent moisture from entering the outlet box and causing a short, use clear caulking (i.e. indoor/outdoor silicone sealant) to outline the
outside of fixture back plate where it meets the wall. Leave a space at the bottom to allow moisture to escape (Fig.3).
