CAUTION Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the
common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables
with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or
shorted to the shield or each other.
