Mounting the Fixture
Refer to Figure 1 for visual guidance.
This diagram illustrates the fixture mounting process. It shows a standard junction box, to which a mounting plate is attached. The fixture's canopy hangs from this plate, concealing the wiring and driver. A cable gripper mechanism within the canopy allows for adjustment of the fixture's wire length. The fixture is secured to the mounting plate using a mounting screw (B).
Instruction: Adjust the fixture wire length by pushing the cable gripper on the canopy and pulling the wire as desired. Retract wires close to a desirable length within the canopy before securing the fixture.
Note: Retracting or extending excessive cable length through the cable gripper is not recommended. Shortening these cables without professional help or electronic background is not advisable, as any modifications may void the warranty.
- Remove the mounting screw (B) and back plate from the fixture.
- Adjust the fixture wire length by pushing the cable gripper on the canopy and pulling the wire as desired.
- Secure the mounting back plate to the junction box using standard junction box screws that come with the junction box. Ensure the side of the mounting plate marked "GND" faces out.
Back Plate Dimensions
45 mm [1 3/4"], Ø106 mm [Ø4 1/8"], Ø117 mm [Ø4 5/8"], 35 mm [1 3/8"]
Connecting the Wires
Refer to Figure 2 for visual guidance.
This diagram shows how to connect the fixture wires to the house wires. Use wire connectors (A) to secure connections. Connect the fixture's ground wire (bare wire) to the house's ground wire (green or bare copper). If no ground wire is present in the outlet box, connect the fixture's ground wire directly to the back plate using the provided green screw. After connecting wires, tuck them carefully inside the junction box. The fixture's driver is designed to be recessed within the junction box; its mounting extensions may be trimmable or foldable for a tighter fit.
- Connect the driver's input wires to the junction box wires as shown in Figure 2, ensuring all wire connectors (A) are secured.
- If your outlet box has a green or bare copper ground wire, connect the fixture's ground wire to it. Otherwise, connect the fixture's ground wire directly to the back plate using the green screw provided.
- After wires are connected, tuck them carefully inside the junction box.
Completing the Installation
- Secure the fixture to the mounting back plate using the mounting screw (B).
