2. Safety Information
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before installing or servicing. This product must be installed in accordance with the applicable installation code by a person familiar with the construction and operation of the product and the hazards involved.
- Ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker before any installation or maintenance.
- Verify that the supply voltage is compatible with the luminaire's MVOLT (120-277V) rating.
- Use only 90°C minimum supply conductors.
- This luminaire is CSA certified for use in the USA and is listed for Damp Locations and is dust resistant.
- Operating the fixture in environments exceeding its rated ambient temperature (e.g., 45°C) can lead to decreased light output and premature fixture failure. Always check the fixture's label for specific ambient temperature ratings.
Video: Hi-Bay Lighting Temperature Ratings. This video explains the importance of proper temperature ratings for high bay luminaires in industrial environments and highlights Lithonia Lighting's adherence to these standards. It demonstrates how unlabeled fixtures default to a 25°C/77°F rating, which is often insufficient for industrial applications, leading to potential component failure and reduced light output.
