Commercial Recessed Housings
Risk Of Electrical Shock
Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing.
Risk Of Fire
Supply conductors (power wires) connecting the fixture must be rated minimum 90°C. If uncertain, consult an electrician.
Risk Of Fire.
Do not install insulation within 3 inches (76 mm) of any part of the fixture or in a way that may entrap heat.
CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure that power supply is turned off before installing or servicing this fixture.
CAUTION: Metal halide lamps have arc tubes that operate at extremely high temperatures and may shatter unexpectedly as a result of misapplication, system failure or internal factors. This violent failure could cause extremely hot glass and lamp parts to discharge into the surrounding environment, creating a risk of personal injury, fire or property damage. Therefore, it is incumbent on the user to use common sense and good judgment in anticipation of these potential violent failures. Never use or operate this fixture without safety glass or lens properly installed and secured in place.
Reduction of Risk
The potential of violent failure can be significantly reduced by relamping at or before the rated end of life. In applications where the lamps burn continuously, the lamps should be turned off for a period of 15 minutes at least once per week which will cause lamps nearing their end of life to fail passively upon relighting. Careful adherence to the above precautions may not eliminate all possible risks associated with the use of Metal Halide lamps, but it will reduce the likelihood of personal injury or property damage.
Rough-In Mounting
•This fixture should be supported by main runners or other structure that is capable of supporting fixture weight of 17lbs.
•The junction box will accept both ½” and ¾” trade size metal conduit.
•Review fixture labeling to make sure it is rated for the voltage installation being used.
•The housing is designed for installation where it will not come in contact with insulation. Thermal insulation must be kept a minimum of three inches (3”) away from the housing sides, top and junction box.
•This housing/trim is designed to be used with T6/T4.5 Ceramic Metal Halide lamps for the specified wattages only. These lamps can cause serious skin burn and
eye inflammation from shortwave ultraviolet radiation if the envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured.
