This document describes the Spitzer Lighting Strip Light Series, a 4'/8' high-output strip light designed for various lighting applications. The manual provides detailed instructions for installation, safety information, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

Function Description:

The Spitzer Strip Light Series is a versatile lighting fixture designed for general illumination. It offers two primary installation methods: chain installation and surface mount installation, catering to different mounting preferences and structural requirements. The fixture is designed for high output, making it suitable for spaces requiring significant illumination. It also supports optional seamless infinite splicing, allowing multiple fixtures to be connected end-to-end for continuous lighting runs, which is particularly useful in long corridors or large open areas. The fixture incorporates dimming capabilities, enabling users to adjust light intensity as needed, contributing to energy savings and creating desired ambiance.

Important Technical Specifications:

Input Voltage: 100-277V, indicating broad compatibility with various electrical systems.
Dimming: 0-10V dimming, a common standard for controlling LED lighting, allowing for smooth and precise light level adjustments.
Material: Steel, suggesting a durable and robust construction suitable for long-term use in various environments.
Electrical Schematic: The fixture includes a clear electrical schematic, detailing connections for live/hot (black wire), neutral (white wire), ground (green wire), and dimming wires (Dim+ and Dim-). This ensures correct and safe wiring during installation.
Driver: The fixture is equipped with an internal driver, simplifying installation by integrating power conversion components within the unit.

Usage Features:

Installation Flexibility:
- Chain Installation (Method 1 & 2): This method involves attaching chains to the fixture and then suspending it from the ceiling. Method 1 uses hooks inserted into installation holes, while Method 2 utilizes buckles and pendant cords for suspension. Both methods emphasize balancing and securing the fixture.
- Surface Mount Installation: This method involves directly fixing the fixture to a surface using screws and buckles. The manual specifies a 37.5" distance between buckles for proper mounting.
Seamless Splicing: The optional seamless infinite splicing feature allows multiple strip lights to be connected together, creating a continuous line of light without visible gaps. This is ideal for achieving uniform illumination over extended lengths.
Dimming Control: The 0-10V dimming capability allows users to adjust the light output, providing flexibility in lighting design and energy management.
Pre-Installation Guidelines: The manual advises careful unpacking, verifying all parts are present, and contacting customer service for missing or damaged components. It also lists necessary tools (screwdriver, pliers, wire cutters, electrical tape, safety glasses, ladder, wire stripper) to ensure a smooth installation process.

Safety Information:

The manual places a strong emphasis on safety, providing several warnings and precautions:

Power Disconnection: Crucially, it states, "BE SURE THE POWER IS OFF!" and "Always use the switch to power off." before any installation or servicing to prevent electrical shock.
Qualified Electrician: It highly recommends that "all installations are made by QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN" due to the risks of fire or electric shock associated with luminaire electrical systems.
Grounding: The electrical system must be grounded.
Compatibility: Users must ensure that the current and voltage are compatible with the device.
Damp Locations: The fixture is suitable for damp locations.
Insulation: It is suitable for non-insulated surfaces and frames and must not be covered with insulation liner or similar material.
Mounting Surface: Do not install the fixture on unstable, loose, or easily breakable surfaces, and avoid exerting force on the fixture's surface.
FCC Warning: The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, indicating it has been tested and found to meet limits for a Class B digital device. It warns against unauthorized modifications that could void user authority to operate the equipment and provides measures to correct potential radio/TV interference (reorient antenna, increase separation, connect to different circuit, consult technician).

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: The manual advises disconnecting power before cleaning. It recommends using a soft cloth for periodic cleaning to maintain the fixture's appearance.
Chemical Avoidance: Users are warned "do not use cleaners with chemicals, solvents or harsh abrasives" to prevent damage.
Component Protection: Specifically, it states, "Do not use liquid cleaner on the LEDs, LED driver, or wiring inside the light fixture."
Durability: The fixture is described as being "made from quality materials that will last many years with minimum care and maintenance."

Troubleshooting:

A basic troubleshooting section is provided for the common issue of "Light will not come on":

Possible Causes: Light switch off, blown fuse/tripped circuit breaker, or incorrect circuit wiring.
Solutions: Turn light switch on, replace fuse/reset circuit breaker, or verify proper wiring.

The manual is comprehensive, covering all necessary aspects from product specifications and installation to safety and maintenance, ensuring users can safely and effectively install and operate the Spitzer Strip Light Series.
