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.
