Hinkley Assembly Instructions
Item No: 28910-28914
Assembly Instructions
Getting Started
- Find a clear area in which you can work.
- Unpack fixture and glass from carton.
- Carefully review instructions prior to assembly.
Mounting Plate Attachment
- Release mounting plate (4) from backplate (1) by removing screws (2).
- Secure mounting plate (4) to junction box (5) using screws (3).
- Make wiring connections using IS-18 instructions (see next page).
- Secure backplate (1) to mounting plate (4) using the previously removed screws (2).
Fixture Assembly
- Install appropriate GU10 bulb (7) into the lamp fixture.
- Place silicone ring (8) and lens cover (9) onto the main fixture body (6).
- Use screws (11) and grommet (10) to lock into place.
- For the 28914 fixture, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other side of the fixture.
Diagram 1 - Mounting: Depicts the components involved in mounting the fixture, including the backplate (1), screws (2, 3), mounting plate (4), and junction box (5).
Diagram 2 - Assembly: Shows the parts for assembling the fixture, such as the main fixture body (6), GU10 bulb (7), silicone ring (8), lens cover (9), grommet (10), and screws (11).
Caulking Instructions
General Recommendation
- After securing the fixture to the wall, it is recommended that the gap between the wall and the fixture backplate be sealed on the top and both sides, with a good quality waterproof caulk or silicone sealant (NOT INCLUDED) - see Diagram 1.
Sealing the Gap
- Apply a bead of caulk to seal the gap using a caulking gun.
Sealing Around Mounting Points
- After securing the fixture in place, it is recommended that the gap between the mounting top and fixture base be sealed with any good quality waterproof caulk or silicone sealant (not included).
- It is also recommended that a small bead of caulk or sealant be put under the ball knobs used to mount the fixture - see Diagram 2.
Diagram 1 (Caulking): Illustrates using a caulking gun to apply a bead of sealant to close the gap between the wall and the fixture backplate.
Diagram 2 (Caulking): Shows the application of sealant under the ball knobs used to secure the fixture to the wall.
IS.18 Wiring and Grounding Instructions
Safety Warning
- Read wiring and grounding instructions (IS 18) and any additional directions.
- Turn power supply OFF during installation.
- If new wiring is required, consult a qualified electrician or local authorities for code requirements.
Wiring Instructions
Indoor Fixtures
- Connect positive supply wire (A) (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead (B) with appropriately sized twist-on connector - see Diagrams 1 or 2.
- Connect negative supply wire (C) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead (D).
- Please refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical connections.
Outdoor Fixtures
- Connect positive supply wire (A) (typically black or the smooth unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead (B) with appropriately sized twist-on connector - see Diagrams 2 or 3.
- Connect negative supply wire (C) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead (D).
- Cover open end of connectors with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal.
- If installing a wall mount fixture, use caulk to seal gaps between the fixture mounting plate (backplate) and the wall. This will help prevent water from entering the outlet box. If the wall surface is lap siding, use caulk and a fixture mounting platform specially.
- Please refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical connections.
Grounding Instructions
Flush Mount Fixtures
- For positive grounding in a 3-wire electrical system, fasten the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to the fixture mounting strap (M) with the ground screw (S) - see Diagram 1.
- Note: On straps for screw supported fixtures, first install the two mounting screws in strap. Any remaining tapped hole may be used for the ground screw.
Chain Hung Fixtures
- Loop fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) under the head of the ground screw (S) on fixture mounting strap (M) and connect to the loose end of the fixture ground wire directly to the ground wire of the building system with appropriately sized twist-on connectors - see Diagram 2.
Post-Mount Fixtures
- Connect fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to power supply ground with appropriately sized twist-on connector inside post. Cover open end of connector with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal - see Diagram 3.
Diagram 1 - Flush Mount Wiring: Illustrates the wiring connections for a flush mount installation, detailing the connections between supply wires (A, C), fixture leads (B, D), and the grounding system via mounting strap (M) and ground screw (S).
Diagram 2 - Chain Hung Wiring: Depicts the wiring connections for a chain hung installation, similar to flush mount but adapted for a chain suspension.
Diagram 3 - Post-Mount Wiring: Shows the wiring connections for a post-mount installation, outlining the connections for supply wires (A, C), fixture leads (B, D), and grounding.
