READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND DELIVER TO OWNER AFTER INSTALLATION

To reduce the risk of death, personal injury or property damage from fire, electric shock, falling parts, cuts/abrasions, and other hazards please read all warnings and instructions included with and on the fixture box and all fixture labels.
Before installing, servicing, or performing routine maintenance upon this equipment, follow these general precautions.
Installation and service of luminaires should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
Maintenance of the luminaires should be performed by person(s) familiar with the luminaires’ construction and operation and any hazards involved. Regular fixture maintenance programs are recommended.
It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of the refractor/lens. Frequency of cleaning will depend on ambient dirt level and minimum light output which is acceptable to user. Refractor/lens should be washed in a solution of warm water and any mild, non-abrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. Should optical assembly become dirty on the inside, wipe refractor/lens and clean in above manner, replacing damaged gaskets as necessary.
DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED PRODUCT! This luminaire has been properly packed so that no parts should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to confirm. Any part damaged or broken during or after assembly should be replaced.
Recycle: For information on how to recycle LED electronic products, please visit www.epa.gov.
These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide every possible contingency to meet in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s or owner’s purposes, this matter should be referred to Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc.

WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Disconnect or turn off power before installation or servicing.
Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it with the luminaire label information.
Make all electrical and grounded connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local code requirements.
All wiring connections should be capped with UL approved recognized wire connectors.

WARNING RISK OF BURN

Allow lamp/fixture to cool before handling. Do not touch enclosure or light source.
Do not exceed maximum wattage marked on luminaire label.
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings, recommendations and restrictions for: driver type, burning position, mounting locations/methods, replacement and recycling.

CAUTION RISK OF INJURY

Wear gloves and safety glasses at all times when removing luminaire from carton, installing, servicing or performing maintenance.
Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.

CAUTION RISK OF FIRE

Keep combustible and other materials that can burn, away from lamp/lens.
Do not operate in close proximity to persons, combustible materials or substances affected by heat or drying.

CAUTION: RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE

Never connect components under load.
Do not mount or support these fixtures in a manner that can cut the outer jacket or damage wire insulation.
Controls for dimming, auto-sensing, or remote control of a luminaire that are not factory-wired to the luminaire must be checked for compatibility with the luminaire prior to installation. LED fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit.
Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not restrict fixture ventilation. Allow for some volume of airspace around fixture. Avoid covering LED fixtures with insulation, foam, or other material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling.
Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not exceed fixtures maximum ambient temperature.
Only use fixture in its intended location.
LED products are Polarity Sensitive. Ensure proper Polarity before installation.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): ESD can damage LED fixtures. Personal grounding equipment must be worn during all installation or servicing of the unit.
Do not touch individual electrical components as this can cause ESD, shorten lamp life, or alter performance.
Some components inside the fixture may not be serviceable. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, stop using the unit immediately and contact an ABL representative for assistance.
Always read the fixtures complete installation instructions prior to installation for any additional fixture specific warnings.
Always ensure that the electrical distribution system is up to NEC (and any applicable local code) requirements.
Verify that power distribution system has proper grounding. Lack of proper earth ground can lead to fixture failure and may void warranty.

FCC
