Unit Installation
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.
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 two mounting brackets.
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.
Chain or Cable Mounting
Carefully unpack unit and properly inspect for defects before
installing. Wear work gloves to prevent dirt and oil from being
transferred to the luminaire.
Secure two 1/2” threaded rods into structural members in ceiling. Place a nut on each threaded rod where xture should
hang. Slide mounting brackets onto threaded rods and tighten second nut onto rods to secure xture.
Rod Mounting

Loosen screws to remove endcap. Option: power input from top – Remove knockout
in top and A) install 1/2” conduit, or B) install AC
power cord with strain relief.

1Loosen screws on side of xture and unhinge LED
lightbar from xture.
Run power through one of the 0.875” holes in
top of xture and into a junction box. Connect
AC wires from junction box to xture wires (see
Step 4 under Electrical Connections for details).
Reattach lightbar to xture and tighten screws.
Position the two mounting brackets at the ends of
the xture and tighten. Attach the xture to ceiling
using appropriate hardware (not supplied).

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 tting.
120-277V: Connect the green (ground), black (line)
and white (neutral) wires of the AC line to the
similarly colored wires of the xture’s power supply
using UL listed wire connectors. Re-attach endcap.
347-480V: Connect the green (ground), red (line)
and black (neutral) wires of the AC line to the
similarly colored wires of the xture’s power supply
using UL listed wire connectors. Re-attach endcap.
When ordered as an option, continuous run xtures use quick-connectors and keyhole fasteners to properly
wire and align the joining xtures.
A) Conduit B) Power cord

Push the quick-connect assembly and excess
wiring into the open end of one xture end plate
so only a small length of wire remains between
joining xtures.
Align keyholes with corresponding tabs and push
xtures together.
Continuous Run Installation
1 2
Completely hang the rst xture in the run. One
end should be closed while the other end has
quick-connect wiring. Using two people, hang the
next xture in the run, making sure to properly
align quick-connectors.
Make all wiring connections between xtures using
the provided quick-connectors.

Shift xtures until keyhole tabs lock in place and
xtures are horizontally aligned.
Install two #8-32 screws with nuts (provided) to
fasten the end plates of the joined xtures together.
Continue to add xtures as needed to complete
the continuous run.
Note: If there are unused quick-connectors at the
end of a run, cut off the connectors and cap the
ends with wire connectors to terminate the wires.
Replace open end plate with a solid end plate.
Note: The current though the continuous xture run
cannot exceed 20A. See maximum xture run length
listed below.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Solution
Luminaire will
not turn on
• 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 or motion sensors), please
also verify that those are working properly and that the unit is setup to interface with the controllers.
Mounting bracket slides
from side to side
• Check that the mounting bracket is properly tightened using the adjustment screws provided.
