WIRING THE FIXTURE
CAUTION
Wiring should only be performed by a professional electrician.
General
Connection of the individual ballast input leads and incandescent socket leads must be made at the time of the installation.
Series ballast circuitry is used in the X-Rite Overhead Luminaires. In order to accommodate possible installation
requirements, wire entry for input power is possible from either end of the fixture.
Note:
All leads are arranged so that the knockouts at one end of the fixture are desirable for wire entry. If you use the
other end of the fixture, note that all input wiring within 3 inches of the ballast and socket will tolerate 90° C
