Determine which corresponding knock-out is closest to the supply
wire feed and remove it (
Fig. 3
).
CAREFULLY REMOVE THE
KNOCK-OUT BY HAMMERING A FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER OR
PUNCH UNTIL THE SURFACE BREAKS.
If the knock-out did not
break free, use pliers and bend it back and forth until it snaps off.
Attach the strain relief by inserting the threaded end through the
knock-out. Secure the strain relief to the fixture by tightening the
fastener to the threaded tube (
Fig. 4
).
NOTE
: Remember to have
the strain relief screws oriented in a manner that allows
tightening/loosening of the clamp after the fixture has been
attached to the mounting surface.

Inside the wire compartment are 2 lead wires: a black wire and
a white wire, both with crimp-on connectors over the ends of
the wires, as well as a green ground wire (
Fig. 6
). These are the
only wires that will be connected to the supply wires.
NOTE:
It
may be necessary to cut the ties holding groups of wires in
order to free up the fixtures’ lead wires (
Fig. 7
).
Insert a flexible whip or NM cable (not included) through the
strain relief and tighten the clamp until it is secure (
Fig. 5
).
Allow enough wire length to make the connection.
Using pliers uncrimp the connectors to remove them, or use a
wire cutter to cut each lead directly below the crimp-on
connector (
Fig. 8
). When cutting, make sure there is enough
wire to complete the connection. After removing the wire nut,
carefully strip away about 3/8 in. of the insulation.
NOTE:
Do not
remove the crimp-on connectors and try to use them again. Use
the screw-on wire nuts provided.
For safety and proper operation, the fixture must be properly
grounded. If unfamiliar with the methods of properly grounding
the fixture, consult a qualified electrician. A copper ground wire
is pre-attached to the fixture. If the electrical box is made of
plastic and/or has a green or bare copper grounding wire inside,
the fixture grounding wire and the electrical box ground wire
should be connected using one of the wire nuts. If the fixture is
being connected using a flexible whip or NM cable, the fixture
grounding wire and the electrical supply ground wire should be
connected using one of the wire nuts. Connect the supply leads to the fixture wire leads using
the supplied wire nuts. The black leads from the fixture go to the black supply lead and the
white leads from the fixture go to the white supply lead (
Fig. 9
). Tighten the wire nuts properly
to prevent the wires from coming loose. If unsure of tightness, tape the wire nuts to the wire
using electrical tape. (
Fig. 10
). Carefully push any excess wiring back inside the fixture.

Using a flathead screwdriver, carefully pry off the plastic
cap that covers the power port on the fixture (
Fig. 1
).
With power disconnected each additional fixture (not included) should be mounted in the
same way as the first installed fixture. Make sure that the distance between fixtures does
not exceed the connector cord length of 18”.

Linking Instructions
Fig. 2
NOTE:
The linking cord is fitted with a distinct cord
connector plug at each end and will only connect one way.
Try inserting one end of the linking cord into the power port,
if that fails try the other end of the linking cord (
Fig. 2
). DO
NOT try to force the plug into the port. When correctly
inserted the catch on the top of the cord connector plug will
click into the power port.

Link additional fixtures by following the linking instructions
outlined in steps 1 and 2 (
Fig. 3
). Once all fixtures have been
linked, insert the power cord connector plug into the power
port on the end of the last fixture and the grounded plug into
the outlet.
NOTE
: Each light can be individually operated by
the on/off switch located on each fixture.

Once the screws are removed place the cover aside to
expose the wire compartment and the captive mounting
screws (
Fig. 2
). These will be located on both ends of the
wire compartment.

The fixture can be mounted in two ways. For installation using
pilot holes for the screws place the fixture firmly against the
mounting surface. While holding in position, mark the surface
for the pilot hole locations by turning both screws until they
dimple the surface. Using a 1/16” drill bit, drill the pilot holes
for the screws. Secure the fixture to the cabinet by tightening
the mounting screws into the drilled pilot holes. The fixture
can also be mounted without the use of pilot holes by firmly
holding the fixture against the mounting surface and turning
the mounting screws until the fixture is snug against the
surface (
Fig. 11
). Once fixture is secured to the cabinet
replace the wire compartment cover (
Fig. 12
).
