Introduction

Installation should be completed by an individual familiar with the construction and operation of the luminaire.
Installation of luminaire must be by nation and local building and electrical codes.
Carefully read and follow all warnings and instructions before installing or servicing the luminaire.
Instructions do not cover all details and all possible product configurations
Do not restrict luminaire ventilation.
Ensure the LED luminaire is not covered with material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling.
Do not exceed the luminaire’s maximum ambient temperature.
Ensure the LED luminaire has the correct polarity before installation.
Based on maximum voltage restrictions for class 2 circuits in the Canadian Electrical Code, the output cannot be accessible. This product has accessible output terminals. This product complies with this requirement since the installation instruction requires installation in a Restricted Access Area.
