5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and proper installation:
- Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the power to the installation area and turn it OFF. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Prepare Wiring: The lampholder comes with two 18 AWG leads. Typically, one lead is black (hot) and one is white (neutral). If your leads are not color-coded, consult the fixture's wiring diagram or a qualified electrician. The leads are pre-stripped for convenience.
- Connect Wires:
- Connect the black lead from the lampholder to the hot (usually black) wire from the power supply using a suitable wire connector (e.g., wire nut).
- Connect the white lead from the lampholder to the neutral (usually white) wire from the power supply using a suitable wire connector.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Mount the Lampholder: Secure the lampholder in the desired fixture or location. The lampholder typically has a threaded base for mounting into a compatible fixture. Ensure it is firmly seated and stable.
- Install Bulb: Carefully screw an incandescent candelabra base bulb (E12) into the lampholder. Do not overtighten. Ensure the bulb's wattage does not exceed 75W.
- Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and the lampholder is mounted, turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
6. Operating Instructions
Once installed and a compatible bulb is inserted, the lampholder operates by simply supplying power to the circuit it is connected to. If connected to a switch, toggle the switch to turn the light on or off.
7. Maintenance
The Leviton 10032-200 lampholder requires minimal maintenance.
- Bulb Replacement: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before replacing a bulb. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before unscrewing it. Screw in a new candelabra base incandescent bulb, ensuring it does not exceed 75W.
- Cleaning: Ensure power is off before cleaning. Wipe the lampholder with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the lampholder and wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections. If damage is found, replace the lampholder immediately.
8. Troubleshooting
If the light does not turn on after installation or bulb replacement, consider the following:
- No Power: Check the circuit breaker or fuse to ensure power is on. Test the circuit with a voltage tester.
- Faulty Bulb: Test the bulb in another working fixture or try a new bulb.
- Loose Connections: Turn off power and carefully re-check all wire connections to ensure they are secure.
- Incorrect Wiring: Verify that the hot and neutral wires are connected correctly according to electrical codes.
- Over-wattage Bulb: Ensure the bulb's wattage does not exceed the lampholder's maximum rating of 75W.
If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
