Hunter Xidane 1-Light Pendant Installation Guide

Preparation for Installation

Carefully remove all contents from the carton. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and completely remove the old fixture from the ceiling, including the old mounting bracket. Remove the new mounting bracket assembly from the bag. Remove cap nuts (H) from mounting screws (B). Place the mounting plate (A) over the junction box so that mounting screws (B) and nuts (C) extend out away from the ceiling. Depending on the placement of your junction box, the position of mounting screws (B) may need to be adjusted to allow the canopy to be flush with the ceiling. Adjust the position of mounting screws (B) so that mounting screws (B) can be exposed 5-6 mm after passing through the canopy (F) to properly fit the cap nuts. Mounting screws (B) can be adjusted by loosening nuts (C) and loosening or tightening mounting screws (B). Once the ideal position of mounting screws (B) has been confirmed, tighten nuts (C) on mounting screws (B) on the front of the mounting plate (A) to ensure that mounting screws (B) are secure. Pull the house wires through the center of mounting plate (A). Secure mounting plate (A) to the junction box by tightening the screws (D).

Diagram Description: The diagram shows the mounting plate (A) with adjustable mounting screws (B) and nuts (C), and how it attaches to a junction box using screws (D). It also illustrates the canopy (F) and its relationship with the mounting plate.

Assembling the Fixture

1. For Pendant Installation

There are 4 12-inch rods (K) and 1 6-inch rod (I) included with each fixture. Determine the correct number of rods needed for proper hanging height. To lengthen the fixture, add additional rods. To shorten the fixture, trim the wires to desired length. Leave at least 8 to 10 inches of wire in addition to the desired length and slide any excess rods off the fixture's wiring to discard. You must use at least one rod to hang the fixture. Thread the wires through the rods and pull the wires until taut before connecting the rods together. All threads should be engaged but do not overtighten (some manual straightening of the downrods may be required). Screw the rod onto the threaded post of the fixture (L). Pull the fixture wires through the top of the canopy (F). Screw the top rod to hang straight (G) of canopy (F).

2. For Semi-Flush Installation

Unscrew the hex nut (I) inside the canopy (F) and set hex nut (I), and washers (O, P) aside. Remove the hang straight (G) from the canopy (F). Pass the wires and threaded post of fixture (L) through canopy (F) and secure it with the washer (P), washer (O) and hex nut (I) inside canopy (F).

Connecting the Wires

Have a helper support the fixture's weight while completing the wiring. Attach the fixture's wires to the power supply wires from the junction box. Connect black to black (Live); white to white (grounded); grounding to grounding (green or copper). Twist the ends of the wire pairs together. Then, twist on a wire connector. Make sure all twists are in the same direction. Loop fixture's ground wire around grounding screw (E) and tighten. If there is no ground wire (green or copper) from the junction box, contact a qualified electrician.

Wire Identification:

• Fixture Wires: Black (Smooth), White (Ribbed), Bare Copper (or Green).
• House Wires: Black (Live), White (Grounded), Green or Copper (Grounding).

Diagram Description: Shows the connection points for fixture wires (black, white, green/copper) to house wires (black, white, green/copper) and the grounding screw (E).

[Warning] If there is no ground wire (green or copper) from the junction box, contact a qualified electrician.

Finishing the Installation

Raise canopy (F) to mounting plate (A) and position mounting screws (B) so that they protrude through the openings of canopy (F). Secure canopy (F) in place with cap nuts (H). Then use the socket ring (N) to secure the glass shade (M) to the socket. Install light bulb (not included) in accordance with the fixture's specifications. Do not exceed the recommended wattage. Your installation is now complete. Turn on the power and test the fixture.

Diagram Description: Illustrates the final steps of attaching the canopy (F) to the mounting plate (A) using cap nuts (H), and securing the glass shade (M) with the socket ring (N).

Cleaning Tips

Treat the fixture gently! Regular cleaning will reduce the need for deep cleaning. For regular cleaning, turn off the light and wipe down the fixture with a clean lint-free cotton or microfiber cloth. Never spray cleaner directly onto the fixture.

Notices and Tips

Notice: In order to use a 12-inch rod by itself, you must first remove the post from the 6-inch rod and install it on one of the ends of the 12-inch rod.

Hunter Pro Tip: Twist or tape wire ends together to make it easier to pass them through the downrods. The threaded post may also be removed for easier wire access.

Safety Warnings

⚠️ To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your light fixture, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with the wall switch location.

⚠️ The lighting fixture must be grounded. If the ground wire for the installation site is not present, immediately STOP installation and consult a qualified electrician.

⚠️ All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Note: These instructions are provided for your safety. It is very important that they are read carefully and completely before beginning installation of the lighting fixture.
