Installing the MaxLite FRK Series Round Retrofit Kit in your existing luminaire requires careful attention to safety and the following steps. Always consult the full instruction manual for the most accurate and up-to-date guidance.
First, prioritize safety:
- Disconnect Power: Before you begin, cut off the power supply to the luminaire. This means turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse. Do not rely solely on the light switch.
Next, prepare the luminaire:
- Removing Unnecessary Components:
- Ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the diffuser, old sockets, and lead wires. Keep all other parts, including the crossbar.
- To access the junction box, twist the ceiling pan to loosen it and then remove it using the keyhole slots.
Follow these installation steps:
- Installation Steps:
- Feed the LED retrofit kit wire harness wires (1 white, 1 black) and the ground wire (1 green) through the wire opening in the fixture. Make sure that the wires are not pinched by the round LED mounting plate or other fixture hardware.
- Secure the retrofit to the fixture using one of the following installation methods:
- Connect the wire harness leads to the mains wiring inside the junction box using wire nuts or connectors (such as WAGO):
- Connect the green wire to the ground wire (bare or green).
- Connect the black or blue wire to the line conductor (black).
- Connect the white wire to the neutral conductor (white).
- After installing the LED engine, place the provided label in the outer space of the luminaire so it is visible.
- Reattach and secure the lens to the luminaire. The luminaire will function with or without the diffuser.
