IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING LAMPS. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
RAB lamps must be wired in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
all applicable local codes. Proper grounding is required for safety. THIS
PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED per THE APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON
FAMILIAR WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE HAZARDS
INVOLVED.
TYPE B LAMP
Intended for operation in luminaires with traditional fluorescent-type lamp
holders wired directly to the branch circuit. This includes both factory-wired
luminaires as well as those converted for this purpose under a retrofit
program.
WARNINGS:
Risk of fire or electric shock. LED Retrofit Kit installation requires knowledge
of luminaire electrical systems. If not qualified, do not attempt installation.
Contact a qualified electrician.
- Risk of fire or electric shock. Install this kit only in luminaires that have the construction features and dimensions shown in the photographs and/or drawings and where the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the input rating of the luminaire.
- To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to the edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects.
- To avoid potential fire or shock hazards, do not use this retrofit kit in luminaires employing shunted bi-pin lamp holders. Note: Shunted lamp holders are found only in fluorescent luminaires with Instant-Start ballasts. Instant-start ballasts can be identified by the words “Instant Start” or “I.S.” marked on the ballast. This designation may be in the form of a statement about the ballast itself or may be combined with the marking for the lamps with which the ballast is intended to be used, for example, F40T12/IS. For more information, contact the LED luminaire retrofit kit manufacturer.”
- Installers should not disconnect existing wires from lamp-holder terminals to make new connections at lamp-holder terminals. Instead, installers should cut existing lamp-holder leads away from the lamp holder and make new electrical connections to lamp-holder lead wires by employing applicable connectors.
