2. Wear PPE: Ensure you are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
3. Review Instructions: Carefully read and understand all safety and installation instructions provided with the product.

4.2 Mounting the H-Bracket

1. Install Holder Brackets: Secure the small holder brackets to the back of the luminaire using two screws at each of the four locations.
2. Prepare Access Plate: Remove one knockout from the access plate on the back of the fixture. Install a grommet to protect wire insulation as per NEC and local code requirements.
3. Mark Drilling Locations: Hold the H-bracket against the ceiling, centering it to the junction box. Mark the four spots for the toggle bolts.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Use a 1/2-inch drill bit to drill pilot holes into the marked spots on the ceiling.

2. Connect Wires: Pull the supply wires through the grommet. Make all electrical connections (line, neutral, ground) according to local codes and the provided wiring diagram.

4.4 Final Mounting

1. Secure Panel: Lift the CPANL parallel to the ceiling and slide it towards the junction box to lock it into place with the remaining holder brackets.
2. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker and verify that the CPANL is illuminated.

5. Operating Instructions

The CPANL LED Flat Panel features adjustable lumen output and switchable color temperature settings, typically located on switches on the back of the fixture. These settings should be adjusted before final installation or by carefully lowering the panel if already installed.

5.1 Adjustable Lumen Output (ALO)

The fixture offers multiple lumen output options (e.g., 4000, 5000, 6000 lumens). Use the switch labeled 'LOW', 'MID', 'HIGH' to select the desired brightness level. Lower settings are suitable for areas requiring less light, while higher settings provide maximum illumination for larger spaces or tasks requiring more brightness.
