3.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Opening: For remodel applications, ensure the existing ceiling opening is approximately 7 inches in diameter. For new installations, cut a circular opening of approximately 7 inches in the ceiling.
- Connect Wiring: Open the junction box cover on the housing. Connect the building's electrical supply wires to the fixture's wires according to local electrical codes. The housing is rated for 4 #12 90-degree conductors (2 in and 2 out). Ensure all connections are secure using appropriate wire connectors. Close the junction box cover.
- Insert Housing: Carefully insert the recessed housing into the ceiling opening. The integral locking clips will engage with the ceiling material, securing the housing in place.
- Adjust Lamp Angle: The housing allows for lamp adjustment from 9 to 45 degrees to accommodate various sloped ceiling angles. Adjust the internal mechanism to achieve the desired light direction.
- Install Trim (Sold Separately): Once the housing is securely installed, attach the compatible trim (not included) to complete the fixture. The integral white cast trim flange ring provides for secure installation of the trim.
