When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
reAD AND FOLLOW ALL sAFeTY iNsTrUCTiONs
1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn o power supply before installation or servicing.
2. This luminaire must be installed in accordance with the NEC and your local electrical code. If you are not familiar with these codes and
requirements, consult a qualified electrician.
3. This luminaire must be supported by building structure that is capable of supporting luminaire weight.
4. This luminaire is not thermally protected. Do not install insulation within 3 inches (76 mm) of luminaire sides or wiring compartment nor
above luminaire in such a manner as to entrap heat.
5. The standard luminaire is provided with an LED driver that can be operated at input voltages between 120V and 277V. Verify supply
voltage before making any electrical connections.

CANOPY PREPARATION
1. Mark the location of the luminaire and cut a 12in. (30.5 cm) by
12in. (30.5 cm) opening in the canopy panel. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
LUMINAIRE INSTALLATION
1. With the 2 retention clips rotated counterclockwise, slide
luminaire diagonally through opening in canopy, and secure
in opening by rotating the retention clips clockwise under the
canopy panel.
2. Secure the luminaire to the canopy with the 4 screws provided.
3. Orient the depressions in the trim frame with the driver
module cover and attach the trim frame to the luminaire via its
4 screws. See Figure 2.
4. For Retrofit Applications: It is recommended that after
installation sealant be applied around perimeter of fixture, on
top of canopy, to assure seal integrity in older canopies that
may have imperfections.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Open the Junction Box Cover by loosening the screw and
tipping the cover open. See Figure 3.
2. Remove the appropriate conduit knockout that will be suitable
for the application and secure the customer supplied conduit
to the junction box.
3. Feed the electrical supply wiring through the conduit fitting
and into the Junction Box and make the following electrical
connections.
4. Using customer supplied 90°C minimum rated wire
connectors, make the following electrical connections. See
Figure 4.
a. Connect the black fixture lead to the voltage supply lead
b. Connect the white fixture lead to the neutral supply lead
c. Connect the green or green/yellow ground leads to the
supply ground lead

CANOPY PREPARATION
CAUTiON - By switching the LED fixture to have more light output,
the fixture will have also have a greater amp draw. Refer to fixture
label for the amp draw at 700 mA.
NOTe: It may be possible to switch the fixture in the field to obtain
less or more light output. The fixture leaves the factory with the
LED driver(s) wired at one of the following:
• 350mA = -U, -UH
• 525mA = -UC
• 700mA = -UD
For more or less light output, see the following diagrams below.
See Figures 5-7 if the luminaire uses a Tri-Tap Resistor module or
see Figures 8-10 if the luminaire uses a Tri-Tap LED Driver.
TO CONNECT WIRES TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK:
1. Depress the button above each terminal, insert the wire, and
release the button.
2. Pull on each wire to confirm a good connection. If using
stranded wire, ensure that there are no loose strands
protruding from the terminals.
