DROP CEILING INSTALLATION

1. Choose the location for the fixture, taking into consideration the required

7” clearance and the accessibility to the electrical supply.

2. Install a ceiling tile onto the T-bar grid at the installation location. Using

the provided template and a keyhole saw make a hole at the desired

location in the ceiling tile.

3. Place the housing/hanger bar assembly onto the ceiling tile into the

newly created hole. Adjust the width of both hanger bars to the distance

between the two T-bars, aligning each mounting clip with the top of its

corresponding T-bar. Press down on all mounting clips until they snap

onto the T-bar. (FIG. 5 and FIG. 6) NOTE: Holes are provided on the

mounting clips that can be used to secure the hanger bars to the T-bar.

Parts (I.e. screws, hex nuts) can be

purchased separately for this purpose.

4. Proceed to the “ELECTRICAL

CONNECTIONS” section.

5. Proceed to the “TRIM

INSTALLATION” section.

5. Install the insulation around the housing, if desired. Install the ceiling

material, such as drywall, over the housing. A template is provided to

assist in making the holes in the ceiling material. (NOTE: Blown-in

Insulation may also be installed after the ceiling material has been

installed.)

6. Proceed to the “TRIM INSTALLATION” section.

1. Using BX (armored) or NM (Romex) cable, run the supply wiring from the

power supply source to the fixture location. WARNING - Use supply

wires rated 90°C or higher.

2. Open the hinged junction box’s door by lifting the metal latch.

A. FOR BX (ARMORED) CABLE - Break off one of the round knockouts

(FIG. 8) using a screwdriver. Secure an appropriately sized BX cable

connector to the knockout opening. Feed the BX cable through the

connector, providing 6” of slack inside the junction box. Tighten the

connector to secure the cable in place.

B. FOR NM (ROMEX) CABLE – Break off one of the rectangular

knockouts located on the top of the junction box using a screwdriver,

creating a slot. (FIG. 7) Slide the NM cable into the slot, as shown,

making sure there is 6” of slack inside the junction box. (FIG. 8)

3. Remove at least 3” of the cable’s outer sheath and remove the plastic or

paper over-wrap. Strip approximately 3/8” of insulation from the ends of

all supply wires. Using the provided “quick-connect” wire connectors,

make the following wire connections within the junction box:

WHITE Fixture Wire to WHITE (NEUTRAL) Supply Wire

BLACK Fixture Wire to BLACK (HOT) Supply Wire

GREEN Fixture Wire to GREEN / BARE (GROUND) Supply Wire

WARNING: First disconnect electricity at the circuit breaker or the fuse

box. Disconnecting power by using the wall switch is not sufficient to

prevent electrical shock.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

When using the “quick-connect” wire connectors, be sure that there are

no loose/exposed wire strands. Wrap each wire connection using UL

Listed electrical tape.

1. After installing and finishing the ceiling surface, insert the trim into the

housing. Insert the tip of a pencil into the loop of one of the coil springs.

Push the loop upward, stretching the coil spring, inserting the hook into

one of the keyhole slots locate on the socket plate. Repeat with the

remaining coil spring with the remaining keyhole slot to secure the trim in

place. (FIG. 9)

2. Screw a light bulb into the lamp socket and making sure to use the lamp

type an wattage specified on the housing’s lamp replacement label.

3. Installation is complete. Restore electrical power.

4. Close the junction box door until the metal latch snaps, making sure that

all wiring and wire connectors are contained within the box.

NOTE: Additional lighting fixtures may be connected to the fixture’s

junction box. Several knockouts are provided on the junction box to

accommodate additional BX or NM cables intended to connect to other

fixtures. A marking on the junction box door specifies the maximum

number of wires and the maximum wire gauge that can be inserted into

the junction box.
