NOTE: This fixture is an IC type fixture. It may come in direct contact with thermal insulation. It
can be completely covered by thermal insulation, as shown below. In addition, any part of the
fixture may come in direct contact with any combustible material, such as a ceiling joist or floor
board. (FIG. 1)
1.
Disconnect electricity at the circuit breaker or the fuse box. Disconnecting power by using
the wall switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock.
2.
Check if the power source is suitable for the added electrical load. Power should be
supplied by a 110/120 volt, 60 Hz single circuit. A standard 120 volt, 15 amp branch circuit
is designed to carry a maximum load of 1800 watts. We recommend that the total wattage
of all the lights and appliances on that circuit, not exceed 80% or 1440 watts, of the
maximum electrical capacity.
3.
This product has a SLIDE-N-LOC™ feature, which is used to secure NM (Romex) cable to
the junction box, in lieu of a cable connector. This feature will not work with BX (armored)
cable. For BX cable, cable connectors need to be purchased separately. See the
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section.
4.
This is a new-construction fixture. This new-construction fixture can be installed in
applications where the ceiling surface has yet to be installed and the ceiling joists are
exposed, such as when a home is under new construction. If a ceiling surface already
exists and there is no access above the ceiling surface, do not use this fixture. A remodel
fixture is recommended, instead. This fixture may also be installed onto a drop ceiling,
where there is a standard T-bar grid in place.
Check the contents of the box. You should have:
1 – Housing/Hanger Bar Assembly
1 – Cardboard Circular Template
PREPARING AND MOUNTING THE FIXTURE
The hanger bars are designed for joists that are spaced 16" to 26" (center to center) apart. If
the joists are less than 16" apart, the hanger bars must be shortened to accommodate the
narrower space. To shorten them:
1.
Remove the hanger bars from the plaster frame. This may require opening the guides of
the plaster frame using pliers.
2.
Spread the bars as wide as possible. (FIG. 2)
3.
For each hanger bar, bend the male bar, back and forth at the 1
until it splits. Bend the female bar, back and forth, at the 1st notch from the center until it
splits. (FIG. 2)
4.
Slide the male and female bars together and determine if the hanger bar has been
shortened enough. If not, separate the male and female bars and break off additional
material at the next crease and notch. Continue to break off material until proper length is
achieved. Do not break off any more material than necessary.
5.
Once proper length is achieved, separate the male and female bars. Slide the female bars
into the guides of the plaster frame. Slide the male bars into the female bars.
