How to Install the LF120V18 Fluorescent Lighting Package

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing and wiring the LF120V18 fluorescent lighting package within an enclosure. Ensure all safety warnings are followed to prevent electric shock and equipment damage.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware, Wire connectors

  1. Read Instructions and Safety Warnings

    Before beginning any installation, carefully read all instructions provided in the manual. Pay close attention to all WARNING and AVERTISSEMENT sections to understand potential hazards and necessary precautions. Ensure the fluorescent lighting package is suitable for your environment and power supply.

  2. Disconnect Power Supply

    To avoid electric shock and equipment damage, disconnect all power supplies to the enclosure where the light will be installed. Verify that power is completely off using a multimeter or appropriate testing device before proceeding.

  3. Mount the Fluorescent Fixture

    Securely mount the fluorescent lighting fixture inside the enclosure using appropriate mounting hardware. Refer to the specific mounting diagrams (e.g., PROLINE Frame, Enclosure Top, Enclosure Channel, Optional Panel) for your application. Ensure the fixture is firmly attached and stable.

  4. Connect Power Supply Wires

    Connect the fluorescent fixture to a single-phase power supply that is consistent with the voltage and frequency information found on the product label. Route supply wires away from door hinges, sharp edges, and other potential pinch points. Power must be connected to the switch end of the light. All wiring must comply with applicable national and local electrical codes.

  5. Ground the Fluorescent Fixture

    Ensure the fluorescent fixture's ground terminal is properly connected to a reliable earth ground source. A proper ground connection is crucial for safe operation and to prevent intermittent operation. Verify the integrity of the ground connection.

  6. Verify Clearances and Energize

    Before energizing any circuits, check all internal and external electrical and mechanical clearances to ensure that all assembled equipment functions safely and properly. Once clearances are verified, restore power to the enclosure and test the fluorescent lighting package for correct operation.
