Hanging the Ballast (Arc Models Only)

The external ballast unit included with arc models will need to be installed near the
luminaire. In order for the lamp cable to be connected, the ballast must be placed
within 40 inches (1m). The top panel provides one mounting hole for attaching a truss
hook or other mounting hardware as required. (Compatible truss hooks are available
from different manufacturers for your particular needs.)
Note: A safety cable is recommended for all hanging installations and may be
required by local codes.
To install truss hooks (if required):
Step 1. Attach truss hook as shown below
Step 2. Tighten hardware securely.
