INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Before attempting installation please refer to your local electrical code.
1. Detach canopy plate from decorative canopy by loosening the two screws on the
outer diameter. Detach tether between the two canopy parts.
2. Attach canopy mounting base to junction box. Figure 1
3. Feed cylinder wires through threaded stem.
4. Tighten threaded stem securely into coupling on top of cylinder. Then tighten two
strain relief set screws in coupling to engage threaded stem.
5. Feed wires through decorative ceiling canopy then thread stem into ceiling canopy
and tighten securely.
6. Re-attach tether between decorative ceiling canopy and canopy mounting base to
aid wiring.
7. Cylinder housing may contain multiple wires, depending upon dimming or
non-dimming option being installed.
8. Connect cylinder black (hot) wire to junction box hot wire, and connect cylinder
white (neutral) to junction box neutral wire. Connect cylinder green ground wire to
either junction box ground wire or ground screw.
9. For cylinders with 12D1 in catalog number [Standard Triac Dimming], the driver
can be dimmed with many quality 120V incandescent and electronic low voltage
dimmers without additional wiring.
10. For cylinders with MVD2 in catalog number (0-10V Dimming), the driver can be
dimmed with 0-10V dimming controls. Locate low voltage dimming control wires
(purple, gray) in cylinder pendant wire whip and make appropriate connections,
purple to Dim+ junction box lead and gray to Dim- junction box lead. For
Non-Dimming applications, leave the dimming control wires (purple and gray)
capped inside the junction box. Note: When using 0-10V dimming drivers, Class I
wiring (300V wiring inside conduit) is required. Please consult factory for
additional details.
11. For cylinders with 12D3 in catalog number, the driver (Lutron Hi-Lume A-Series
LTE) is compatible with various Lutron forward phase dimming controls. Contact
Lutron for the up-to-date compatibility list of dimming controls: www.lutron.com.

canopy mounting base plate. Securely tighten the two screws on the outer
diameter.
