Carefully unpack unit and properly inspect for defects before installing. Wear work gloves to prevent dirt and oil from being transferred to the luminaire.

Choose a mounting method: chain, cable, rod, or surface mount.

NOTE: Please follow all UL, NEC and minimum load rating guidelines when selecting and installing a cable, chain, or rod.

3 The mounting brackets come pre-installed. Loosen the screws to move the brackets to a desired location, then re-tighten. Each mounting bracket can connect to a chain, cable, rod, or be surface mounted.

Installation Guide

A Position the two mounting brackets at the ends of the fixture and tighten. Attach the fixture to ceiling using appropriate hardware (not supplied).

B Loosen end cap screw and swing open end cap to remove.

Repeat for both end caps.

C Loosen screws on side of fixture and unhinge LED lightbar.

D Remove LED lightbar by disconnecting the provided quick-connectors.

E Run power through one of the 0.875” holes in top of fixture and into a junction box. Connect AC wires from junction box to fixture wires

(see Step 4 under Electrical

Connections for details).

F Reattach lightbar to fixture and tighten screws. Reattach both end caps and tighten screws.

4 Electrical Connections

Note: Please see additional wiring instructions if installing multiple fixtures in a Continuous Run.

A Loosen end cap screw and swing open end cap to remove.

B Option: power input from top - A) Install 1/2” conduit or B) install AC power cord with strain relief through .875” hole on top of fixture

C Option: 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 top with appropriate fitting.

D 120-277V: 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 wire connectors. Reattach endcap.

347-480V: Connect the green (ground), red (line) and black

(neutral) wires of the AC line to the similarly colored wires of

5 Continuous Run Installation

A Choose the first fixture for the run and connect the starter wire harness (provided in Continuous Run Kit) to the fixture wire harness. If connectors don’t mate, use small adapter harness (also found in kit).

B Option: Sensor – Insert sensor

(ordered separately) into endcap knockout (provided in

Continuous Run Kit) and wire to starter wire harness per sensor wiring instructions.

C Using two people, hang the first fixture. The side opposite the starter harness will connect with next fixture on the run.

Connect the starter harness with building power as shown in Electrical Connections section of this guide.

D Align and mount the second fixture on run such that the wire harness quick-connectors will mate correctly.

E Make wiring connections between the fixtures with the wire harness quick-connectors.

F Align the metal “joiningbracket” on the first fixture with the corresponding opening on the second fixture and push fixtures together

G Secure the “joining-bracket” by tightening the four #6-32 screws provided.

H Snap on decorative lens cover

(provided in Continuous Run

Kit) over the seam between the fixtures.

I Repeating Steps 3-7, add fixtures as needed to complete the continuous run. Do not exceed the maximum number of fixtures per run listed in the table above (maximum current through wire harness must not exceed 15A).

NOTE: If there are unused quickconnectors at the end of a run, cut off the connectors and cap the ends with wire connectors to terminate the wires.

J

Attach end caps (provided in Continuous Run Kit) and tighten screws on each end of the run.
