Safety Information
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before installation or servicing.
- All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances, and the National Electric Code (NEC).
- If you are unfamiliar with proper electrical wiring connections, consult a qualified electrician.
- Ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.
- Do not install near combustible materials.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves during installation.
Installation
Professional installation by a qualified electrician is highly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off power at the main circuit breaker. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and can support the fixture's weight.
- Mount the Fixture: Secure the fixture to the wall using appropriate mounting hardware (not included, unless specified in packaging). Ensure a watertight seal around the mounting surface to prevent water ingress.
- Wire the Fixture: Connect the fixture's wires to the building's electrical supply wires. Typically, this involves connecting the black wire (live) to the black wire, the white wire (neutral) to the white wire, and the green or bare copper wire (ground) to the ground wire. Use approved wire connectors.
- Secure Wiring and Cover: Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box. Attach the fixture's cover or lens securely, ensuring all gaskets are properly seated to maintain weather resistance.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.
Operation
The Dabmar DW1050 Mini Wall Pack Fixture operates by receiving power from your electrical system. Depending on your wiring and any external controls (e.g., wall switch, photocell, timer), the fixture will illuminate when power is supplied.
- If connected to a standard wall switch, operate the switch to turn the light on or off.
- If connected to a photocell (light sensor), the fixture will automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
- If connected to a timer, the fixture will operate according to the programmed schedule.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your fixture.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or lens. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Check gaskets for integrity to maintain weather resistance.
- Bulb Replacement: (If applicable, for fixtures with replaceable bulbs) Turn off power before attempting to replace any light source. Refer to the fixture's specifications for the correct bulb type and wattage.
Troubleshooting
If your fixture is not operating correctly, consult the following common issues before contacting support:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fixture does not light up. | No power supply; loose wiring; faulty bulb (if applicable); faulty photocell/switch. | Check circuit breaker; ensure all connections are secure; replace bulb; test photocell/switch. |
| Light flickers. | Loose connection; incorrect bulb type; power fluctuations. | Check wiring connections; ensure correct bulb is used; consult electrician for power issues. |
| Fixture turns on/off erratically. | Faulty photocell; external light interference with photocell. | Relocate fixture or shield photocell from interfering light; replace photocell. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician or Dabmar customer support.
