Wiring and Grounding

Refer to the I.S. 18 wiring instructions for proper electrical connections:

• Positive Wire: Connect the positive supply wire (A) (typically black or smooth side) to the positive fixture lead (B) using an appropriately sized twist-on connector.
• Negative Wire: Connect the negative supply wire (C) (typically white or ribbed side) to the negative fixture lead (D).
• Grounding: Connect the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green) to the mounting strap (M) using the ground screw (S) for flush mount fixtures, or directly to the building system ground for other configurations.

Weatherproofing and Caulking

To ensure the fixture is weather-tight, follow the IS200 caulking instructions:

• After securing the fixture to the wall, seal the gap between the wall and the fixture backplate on the top and both sides using a good quality waterproof caulk or silicone sealant.
• It is also recommended to apply a small bead of caulk or sealant under the ball knobs used to mount the fixture to prevent water ingress.
