Product Usage Instructions
Step 1: Install Switchbox and Make Electrical Connections
- Recommended : For best mounting aesthetics, install the switchbox flush with the finished wall directly behind the fixture’s specified power location. Install two studs at the mounting location, leaving enough gap between the studs to accommodate a standard switchbox mounted sideways (about 4″).
- Make electrical connections in the switchbox with the supplied SVT cord. Secure the power cord with the supplied strain relief on the switchbox side.
- Alternate : Install the switchbox as close as possible to the fixture’s power mount location. Run the power cord (supplied) from the switchbox to the fixture. Crimp strain reliefs (supplied) on the cord inside the switchbox and fixture-level wire cover. Allow at least 12″ of cord outside the wall for connection.
Step 2: Attach Switchbox Cover Plate
- Feed the SVT cord through the hole in the supplied switchbox cover plate. Attach the cover plate to the switchbox with two screws (supplied by others). Secure the cover plate to the wall structure with two structural screws (supplied by others).
- Recommended : Attach the wall mount bracket to the switchbox cover plate with 3 screws (supplied). Leave the power cord outside the wall for connection.
- Alternate : Install the wall mount bracket within 6″ from the fixture end, as close as possible to the power supply. Secure the bracket to the wall structure.
Step 3: Install Wall Brackets
- Install the wall bracket at the power location.
- Install additional wall mount brackets as required for single fixtures or continuous rows. Ensure that the additional brackets are level with the first bracket.
- Important : Attach the wall mount brackets to the wall structure within 6″ from the ends of the fixture.
