3 Chain or Cable Mounting: Please follow all UL, NEC and minimum load rating guidelines when selecting and installing a cable or chain.

NOTE: When selecting chain, a joint in a circular chain link shall be welded. A joint in a chain link of another shape shall not be located within 30 degrees of the vertical unless welded.

Electrical Connections (120/277V)

4 Hang two chains/cables from a structural member of the ceiling. Fixture must be supported independently of an outlet box. Loop chain/cable through the mounting slots next to each fixture end. Chain/cable mounting locations must be in the slots closest to the fixture end-cap.

1 Loosen screws to remove power access plate.

A) Conduit B) Power cord

2 Option 1: power input from top – A) Install 1/2” conduit, or B) install AC power cord with strain relief into power access plate.

A) Conduit B) Power cord

3 Option 2: power input from side – Remove knockout in endcap and A) install 1/2” conduit, or B) install AC power cord with strain relief. Plug unused hole on power access plate with appropriate fitting

4 Connect the green (ground), black (line) and white

(neutral) wires of the AC line to the similarly colored wires of the fixture’s power supply using UL listed connectors. Place all connections and exposed wire inside of fixture and reattach power access plate.

Electrical Connections (347/480V)

1 Loosen screws to remove power access plate.

2 A) Install 1/2” conduit, or B) install AC power cord with strain relief into power access plate.

3 Connect AC line to fixture’s power supply using the supplied UL listed wire connectors. Green to green

(ground), red to red (line) and black to black (neutral).

If supplied with a factory installed cable connect green to green (ground), red to black (line) and black to white (neutral).

Optional Mounting Methods

OPTION A Rod Mount Kit

Fasten with nuts

Attach to structural member

4 Place all connections and exposed wire inside of fixture and reattach power access plate.

Rod Mount Spacing (in.)

≤ 11.5”

≤ 26.5”

1 Determine rod spacing based on the above table.

Secure 1/2” threaded rods into structural members in ceiling. Place a nut on each threaded rod where fixture should hang. Slide rod mount brackets onto threaded rods and tighten second nut onto rods to secure fixture.

2 Lift fixture up to installed rod mount brackets until they snap onto mounting features. Let the fixture hang and install (4) 8-32 x 3/8” screws into rod mount brackets.

Do not over tighten screws.

OPTION B Pendant Mount Kit

Attach to structural member

1 Attach pendant mount bracket hub to 3/4“ conduit and pass AC input wires through conduit and mounting bracket. Determine rotation of fixture and lock orientation in place with provided set screw.

2 Lift fixture up until the pendant mount bracket snaps into mounting features. Let the fixture hang and determine if the bracket needs to be moved for balance.

Attach (2) 8-32 x 3/8” screws to pendant mount bracket to lock position. Do not over tighten screws.

3 Connect AC input wires to fixture wires and reattach power access plate.

4 Fasten (2) endplates to bracket with 8-32 x 3/8” screws.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

Luminaire will not turn on.

Mounting insert slides from side to side.

Solution

• Check that the color of the supply side wires match the color of the wires they are connected to.

• Check that all wire connectors are properly connected.

• Verify that your input voltage is within specs.

• If you are using any additional controls (i.e. wireless controls/motion sensors), please also verify that those are working properly and that the unit is setup to interface with the controllers.

• Check that the mounting insert is properly tightened using the adjustment screws provided.
