3. SETUP
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the
back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed

powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor)
or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100%
switch. Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the
fixture’s requirement. Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage
selection switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.

same type of fuse.
