4.3.1 Recessed Installation
- Use the provided cutout template to mark the desired location. Ensure adequate clearance behind the mounting surface for the fixture's depth (approximately 1-7/8 inches).
- Cut a hole of the specified diameter (refer to the dimensions diagram) using an appropriate hole saw or tool.
- Connect the light's 72-inch wires to the Class 2 power supply wiring. Observe proper polarity (typically red to positive, black to negative).
- Gently push the light into the cutout until the spring clips engage and secure it in place.
4.3.2 Surface Mounted Installation
- Mark the desired mounting location.
- Secure the provided mounting hardware (e.g., screws) to the surface, ensuring it aligns with the light fixture's mounting points.
- Connect the light's 72-inch wires to the Class 2 power supply wiring. Observe proper polarity.
- Attach the light fixture to the mounting hardware, ensuring it is securely fastened.
4.4 Wiring Multiple Lights
Multiple button lights can be wired in series. Ensure the total wattage of all connected lights does not exceed the maximum load of the Class 2 power supply. Secondary wiring for Class 2 transformers does not require conduit; however, non-metallic sheathed cable may be used for secondary wiring in walls and ceilings in accordance with local codes.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
