Construction
Plank Wall Mount is constructed of a heavy 20-gauge steel body with a 9 7/8" wide by 2" high profile in housing lengths of 4', 8', or 12' lengths. Fixtures are available with up to three T8, T5, or T5HO lamps in cross section. An optional perforated pattern on either side of the shielding may be ordered. Mounting points maintain convenient, predictable locations. The exact shape of the housing is maintained by the use of a patented inner die cast plate at each fi xture end (patent 6,796,676 B2) throughout the run to prevent snaking. The housing is designed to wrap around the plate and secures on top with concealed screws to ensure housing tolerances are consistent.
Finish
Housing and all painted parts are treated with a multi-stage phosphate prior to finish. Parts are then finished with a white powder coat for maximum consistent coverage and longevity. Other colors may be specified.
Shielding
Plank Wall Mount includes both direct and indirect lighting elements. Shielding for the direct element may be selected as a white cross baffle (WCB), regressed perforated panel (RPF), flat perforated panel (FPF), opal acrylic (OA), or acrylic pattern 12 (A12). For a dramatic touch, colored lensing material may be selected as an overlay; contact factory.
Mounting
Plank Wall Mount is designed for wall mount applications using wall brackets. Brackets are universal and secure to the die cast end plates using a screw connection. Aircraft cable support may be used in addition to the wall bracket mounting if desired for aesthetic and/or additional load carrying capacity. Electrical connections are made from a standard 2" x 4" j-box; j-box and j-box covers by others. In-row products are standard with quick connect wiring for in-row electrical connections.
Labels and Electrical
All fixtures bear appropriate UL labels. Fixtures are prewired with electronic ballasts and are available in 120 or 277 volt. Some ballast options are available as dual-voltage 120/277 volt. All fixtures are wired for single circuit operation. Additional circuits can be supplied as an option on the two and three lamp configurations. For electrical connection information see Mounting above.
