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
