down transformer, and 5` of SOOW cable that is fitted with an industrial grade cord cap for easy connection to common wall
outlets. Plug options include standard 5-15 15 amp straight blade plug for 110V wall outlets with ground, standard 6-15 15
amp straight blade plug for 220-240V outlets with ground, NEMA L5-15 15 amp twist lock plug for 125V twist lock outlets,
NEMA L6-15 15 amp twist lock plug for 240V twist lock outlets, British BS1363 13 amp fused 3-blade plug for United
Kingdom outlets, or a two pin 16 amp rated Schuko plug with ground contact and socket for European outlets up to 250V.
Alternatively, we can provide flying leads with no plug for hard wire applications or for operators who prefer to wire in user
provided cord caps.
Standard pigtail(flying leads) wiring
We strongly encourage a licensed electrician install this product,in all locations especially in outdoor areas
where weatherproofing may be required. Universal voltage driver permits operation at 100V - 277V AC, 50 or 60Hz
or 127-431V DC..

TRANSFORMER & VOLTAGE
This unit is equipped with encapsulated step down transformer that automatically monitor and adjust input current to
maintain the correct voltage levels regardless of input levels across a specific range. These explosion proof drop lights can
operate on current ranging from 90 to 305V AC or 127 to 431V DC without any modifications necessary as a result. This
ability to sense and adjust input current also provides protection against voltage spikes and drops that can occur in electrical
systems.
Warning: Check product label for correct input voltage!
Attach supply line wires to the appropriate light fixture wires as shown
in thediagram 
Secure each pair of wires according to the diagram. Utilize a junction box or
similar device and take precautionary steps for weatherproofing all
connections if installed in a location where water may come in contact with the
unit. Ensure the unit is properly grounded and that wiring is done according to
all local and national electrical/building codes.
Standard Cord Cap
This unit comes pre-wired from factory with the selected cord cap. Take
precautionary steps for weatherproofing all connections if installed in a
location where water may come in contact with the unit. All outdoor
installations and indoor installations near a wet location require the use of a
GFCI device for safety, according to the National Electrical Code® (NEC).
Ensure the unit is properly grounded.
MAINTENANCE
There are no serviceable parts inside the fixture. However, it is good practice to routinely clean and check the
fixture for proper function.
•Disconnect power running to the lamp and be sure the fixture is cool to the touch.
