INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect power before installing.
2. Verify the voltage and current ratings of the luminaire are
equal to or less than the disconnect (4A, 600v)
3. Strip wire insulation to 3/8” minimum, 13/32” for 12 AWG
(Figure 1).
4. If stranded wire, straighten and uniformly group (Figure 1).
5. Insert the wires completely into the wire entries marked
“B” for black or hot lead, and “W” for white or neutral lead.
Slightly twisting stranded wire while inserting helps keep
strands together.
6. Insert black ballast lead (18 AWG solid) into the black
marked wire entry (also marked “B”) and ballast neutral lead
(18 AWG solid) into the other wire entry (marked “W”), on
the ballast side of the disconnect (Figure 2).
7. Insert supply line and neutral leads into the line side wire
(entries marked “B” and “W”) of the disconnect making sure
the wire leads are in-line and match the ballast leads on the
ballast side.
8. Energize the circuit and confirm the luminaire is functional.
