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 specifications chart. 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.
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 Earth Ground.

there are no cuts or breach of integrity of the outer
shell at any point. Moisture could be drawn up inside
the cable due to a vacuum generated by heat inside
the fixture.
•
Protect connectors for both power and data lines in a
weatherproof housing or a weatherproof junction
box.

If you don’t hard wire the fixture to a weatherproof
junction box, make sure to use an IP55 or better rated
connector for both plugs and connectors.
•
Do not connect to a dimmer system.
•
For your protection, the fixture must be grounded and
the AC mains supply must be outfitted with a circuit
breaker and ground-fault protection.
