BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully. Save these instructions for
future use.
CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN if you are not knowledgeable about
luminaires and electrical systems. This LED Retrofit Kit Installation requires
a familiarity with safety procedures, if not qualified, do not attempt
installation.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock or fire. Before installing this kit in a luminaire,
make sure the luminaire matches the features and dimensions indicated in the
photographs and that the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the
input rating of the luminaire. This product is rated 120-277 V or 277-480 V,
however in the US it should only be used on branch circuits permitted in
Section 210.6 of the US National Electrical Code for E26/E39/EX39 lamp
holders.
WARNING
DO NOT MAKE OR ALTER ANY OPEN HOLES IN AN ENCLOSURE OF WIRING OR ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS DURING KIT INSTALLATION. Do not expose wiring to edges of sheet
metal or other sharp objects to prevent wiring damage or abrasion.
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power to the luminaire at the supply source.
CAUTION
Avoid burn risk – allow luminaire and lamp to cool before proceeding.
