a
remodel application, a ceiling surface already exists and there is no access
above the surface to the ceiling joists. To install this fixture, a hole must be
made in the existing ceiling from the room side. Then, electrical wiring must
be run to this hole and connected to the fixture. The fixture is, finally,
inserted into the ceiling hole, which secures itself to the ceiling surface,
using special remodel clips (provided). To use this product in NEW-
CONSTRUCTION applications, a Commercial Electric plaster frame and
Commercial Electric hanger bars must be purchased, separately. In a
new construction application, the ceiling surface has not yet been installed
and
the
ceiling

are
still

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read these
instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.
2. All electrical connections must be in accordance with local code and
ordinances. If you are unfamiliar with methods of installing electrical
wiring, secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
3. Before starting the installation, disconnect electricity at the circuit breaker
or the fuse box. Disconnecting power by using the wall switch is not
sufficient
to
prevent
electrical
shock
and
the
ceiling
joists
are
still
exposed
and
accessible
.
4. Proceed to the ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section.
1. Slide the housing through the hole opening. (Fig. 4)
MOUNTING THE HOUSING TO THE CEILING
sufficient
to

shock
.
4. 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.
5. This fixture is designed to be used on ceiling surfaces that are 3/8”
(1,0 cm), 1/2” (1,3 cm), or 5/8” (1,6 cm) thick. It cannot be used on
any other ceiling thickness.
