PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:
LED Complete 2 fixtures can be hardwired directly via rear access door, or hardwired indirectly via the Hardwire Junction Box, or powered by a
120V receptacle. Fixtures can be powered by an adjacent fixture using linking cables. Determine installation method and purchase necessary
accessories separately. Available Accessories (sold separately) include ALC-BOX: 120V Hardwire Junction Box ALC-PC6: 120V AC Power Cord (6ft
length), and ALC-EX: Interconnectable linking/jumper cable (6” and 12” lengths). This product is suitable for use in dimming circuits. It is compatible
with most standard TRIAC, CL, ELV and MLV dimmers (5-100% light control).
These products may represent a possible shock or
fire hazard if improperly installed or attached in any
way. Products should be installed in accordance
with these instructions, current electrical codes,
and/or the current National Electric Code (NEC).
WARNING
Caution: Injury to persons and damage to the
fixture and/or mounting surface may result if the
fixture is pulled from the surface. To reduce the
likelihood of such injury or damage, mount on a
surface that is mechanically sound.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
to persons, make sure that the electrical power to
the system is disconnected at the source prior to
installation or any servicing.
WARNING
CONNECTING POWER VIA SUPPLY WIRES THROUGH REAR
ACCESS DOOR (See Figures 1-4):
The rear access door is located in the center of the back of the fixture
housing. It has its own knockout for quick connection to supply wires,
foregoing the need to remove the lens cover and open the wiring
compartment.
1. Remove knockout using a hammer or punch, then loosen the screw
that secures the rear access door using a Philips head screwdriver
or driver bit. See Figure 1.
2. Install the 3/8” cable connector (included) for the supply wire
following National Electric Code and local codes through this
knockout on the access door. See Figure 2. Use 14AWG or 12AWG
wires. AC should be protected by circuit breaker or fuse.
3. Strip back jacket on supply wires to 3/8” and use push-in wire
connectors inside housing to connect the wires, matching polarity
(Black to Black = Hot, White to White = Neutral, Yellow/Green to Bare Wire = Ground) through knockout so that push-in connectors are
positioned on the housing side of the access door. See Figure 3.
4. Replace rear access door and tighten retaining screw. Be sure that the wires are not pinched or damaged by any part of the housing or the
cover. See Figure 4.

MOUNTING FIXTURE:
1. Determine locations for each fixture. For hardwire installations, connect supply wires via knockouts before mounting.
2. Use a Philips head screwdriver or driver bit to tighten captive mounting screws and secure fixture to an appropriate mounting surface.
CONNECTING POWER VIA ALC-PC6 POWER CORD:
ALC-PC6 (optional 120V power cord, sold separately) has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not alter plug.
1. Position fixture in desired location and use a Philips head screwdriver or driver bit to tighten captive mounting screws in order to secure the
fixture to an appropriate mounting surface.
2. Remove the side port cover and insert the power cord into side port labeled “input” until fully seated.
