Installation Steps
Step 1: Prepare Mounting Strap
Find the appropriate threaded holes on the mounting strap [1]. Assemble mounting screws [2] into these threaded holes.
Step 2: Attach Mounting Strap
Attach the mounting strap to the outlet box [4] using the strap mounting screws [3]. The mounting strap can be adjusted to suit the position of the fixture.
Step 3: Grounding Instructions
Refer to Illustrations A or B for grounding:
- Illustration A: For fixtures where the mounting strap is provided with a hole and two raised dimples. Wrap the ground wire from the outlet box around the green ground screw and thread it into the hole.
- Illustration B: For fixtures where a cupped washer is provided. Attach the ground wire from the outlet box under the cupped washer and green ground screw, and thread it into the mounting strap.
If the fixture is provided with a ground wire, connect the fixture ground wire to the outlet box ground wire with a wire connector (not provided). After following the above steps, never connect the ground wire to black or white power supply wires.
