How to Connect MaxLite Plug-and-Play to 120 VAC Wiring
Safety Precautions
Please take the following general precautions when installing any sort of LED lighting:
1. This equipment, like all electrical equipment, should be installed by a qualified professional who
should have the tools and knowledge of the trade.
2. Never wire systems with the power on because you may damage the LEDs or equipment by
creating current spikes. Always shut the power off before making connections.
3. Do not expose LEDs, controllers or other electronics to intense electro-magnetic fields, including
lightning.
4. These products are not waterproof. Keep them dry.
Installation Instructions
To connect your MaxLite Plug-and-Play LED light bar installation to
standard 120 VAC wires, also commonly known as Romex® wires,
follow the procedures below:
1. Trim the 120 Volt Bar to Power Connector cable,
MLSDLBJL70, to the desired length for installation. The Bar
to Power Connector cable is 70 inches in length and has a line
(black), ground (green), and neutral (white) wire.
2. Connect the power connector to the light bar.
Using a junction box with the light bar installation will help contain the
connections of the line voltage or low voltage wires. The 120 Volt
Shallow Junction Box, JBOX-P, is grey and plastic. The MaxLite
Lightbar Connection Box, MLSDLBCONNSW, is white, plastic and
includes a cover.
3. Insert the Romex® wires into one end of the desired junction
box, using one of the knock-out tabs on the box.
4. Insert the wire end of the MaxLite cable into the knock out at
the opposite end of the junction box.
5. De-sheath and strip each wire on the Romex® wires and the
MaxLite cable wires. Exposing at least 3/8’’ will help ensure
MLSDLBJL70G
that good contact is made between the wires.
6. Use wire nuts to connect the line wires together, the ground wires together, and the neutral wires
together. Make sure that each connection is secure and correct.
7. Mount the junction box in the desired secure location using the available mounting holes.
