- Mounting Location: Identify a suitable junction box or recessed opening for the steplight. The fixture is designed to be mounted into a standard electrical junction box (junction box not included).
- Wire Connections:
- Connect the black fixture wire to the black (live) supply wire.
- Connect the white fixture wire to the white (neutral) supply wire.
- Connect the green or bare copper fixture wire to the green or bare copper (ground) supply wire.
- Secure all connections with appropriate wire nuts and ensure they are tight.
- Secure Fixture: Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box. Align the fixture with the mounting holes of the junction box and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the fixture is flush and stable.
- Seal (if applicable): For outdoor installations, apply a weather-resistant sealant around the edges of the fixture where it meets the mounting surface to prevent water intrusion.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.
6. Operating Instructions
The RAB Lighting Sledr5 Steplight does not feature an integrated switch. Once properly installed and wired, the steplight will illuminate when power is supplied to its circuit. It is typically controlled by an external wall switch, timer, or a compatible lighting control system.
To operate, simply activate the external switch or control system connected to the steplight's circuit.
7. Maintenance
The Sledr5 Steplight is designed for minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or cleaners containing alcohol, as these can damage the finish or electrical components.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. Ensure the mounting is secure.
- LED Module: The LED light source is integrated and non-replaceable. Do not attempt to open or service the LED module.
