tain NEMA 4 ratings. Failure to do so will result in property damage
and void the warranty.
Mounting the Housing
• Select the location to mount the housing, keeping the PDS-60ca
within the maximum distance specified for your fixture. Refer to your
fixture user guide for the cable run information.
: PDS-60ca must be installed in a location that allows air to

move freely. Packing insulation around the housing or mounting in a
sealed location that raises ambient temperature above 104º F (40º C)
will result in property damage and void the warranty.
• Using the seal plugs and gaskets provided, seal all conduit holes
not needed for the installation. Tighten plugs until gaskets are
slightly compressed. Do not over tighten.
