purchase.

Prior to Installation:

• Determine the desired installation location and the lengths of
  Microlink 120V AC needed.
• Select the appropriate power and connection accessories.
• Ensure that the total run length does not exceed 65.6 ft (20
  meters).
• Remove the clear plastic wrap from each fixture before
  installation.
• Note that the fixture is not suitable for wet locations and
  should only be used in indoor, dry areas.

Installation Instructions:

Linking Microlink:

1. To link fixtures, use either a jumper cable or splice
   connector.
2. Plug the jumper or splicer directly into the first Microlink
   segment until the connection is secure.
3. Plug the other end of the jumper or splicer directly into the
   next Microlink segment.

Powering Microlink:

This LED product requires a 120V AC power source. Before
powering the system, ensure that all Microlink segments are
connected and securely installed. The first fixture in a run should
be connected to a power source, and the last fixture should have an
end cap attached.

There are three options for powering the Microlink 120V AC:

1. Connect the main body of the fixture to a compatible power
   source using the provided power connection cable.
2. Use a connector with an AC plug to connect the fixture to a
   power outlet.
3. Utilize a connector with bare wire to connect the fixture to a
   power source through a separate wiring system.

Note: To prevent short circuits, ensure that the main body and
connecting accessories are properly matched using the male and
female structures.
