SECTION 1 - PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
Tools Needed
Parts of this Light Fixture
This light fi xture can be installed via direct wire connection or with the 6’ Power Cord.
Become familiar with the parts of the light fi xture. See Figure 1.
- Mounting holes go through light fi xture to make it easy to locate where to drill pilot
holes for screws or for plastic anchors (not included) if installing in drywall.
- On/Off switch
- Screw Plugs to cover screws for a clean installation.
- Rear access door can be removed to access the 3 wires with quick connector plugs.
- Knockouts are provided in rear access door and in 4” increments on back and rear of
light fi xture for convenient locating of 120V power feed for optimal fi xture placement.
(Note: only one knockout is provided on the 12” fi xture in rear access door).
- Input Panel Cover can be removed to plug in 6’ Power Cord for non direct wire
installations, the 12” linking Cord or the In-Line Connector to link fi xtures together. The
Output Panel Cover can be removed to plug in the other side of the 12” linking Cord or
the In-Line Connector to link fi xtures together. See Figure 2.
Placement of Fixture
Determine location and method for connecting 120V power for fi xture. Portable units
are attached to house wiring with the use of a plug and Power Cord. They can be easily
moved from one location to another and have limited requirements for grounding
connections. Direct Wire units are designed to be permanently mounted and are often
directly connected to the house wiring through junction boxes.
If you are not sure
about this installation consult a local licensed electrician or electrical contractor before
proceeding.
Locate Mounting Holes: Place fi xture on mounting surface and with a thin screwdriver,
pencil or scratch awl mark the spot where the screws will be located through the Mounting
Holes in the top of the fi xture. See Figure 3. Do the same for a multiple fi xture installation.
For mounting into drywall, drill 3/16” holes for the plastic wall anchors (not included). Insert
the plastic wall anchors into the proper holes and tap them into place so they are fl ush
with the surface of your drywall. For mounting into wood cabinets drill 1/16” pilot holes,
1/2” deep.
Caution: Check your cabinet thickness fi rst. Be careful not to drill through
cabinet.
Prepare fi xture for installation by turning screws provided into mounting holes in the top of
the fi xture so they protrude through the back of the about an 1/8”. This will help you line up
screws to mounting holes.
