HALO H36RTAT Recessed Lighting Fixture

Safety Warnings

• Risk of Fire: Supply conductors (power wires) connecting the fixture must be rated minimum 90°C. If uncertain, consult an electrician.
• Risk of Electric Shock: Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing.
• Risk of Fire/Electric Shock: If not qualified, consult an electrician.
• General Safety: For your safety, read and understand instructions completely before starting installation. Before wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at the fuse or circuit breaker box.
• Compliance: Halo recessed fixtures are designed to meet the latest NEC requirements and are UL listed in full compliance with UL 1598.
• Local Codes: Before attempting installation, check your local electrical code, as it sets wiring standards for your locality.

Housing Installation

The fixture is designed for installation where it will NOT come in contact with insulation. Thermal insulation must be kept a minimum of three inches (3") away from the housing. All other combustible materials must be spaced no less than one-half inch (1/2") from all parts of the fixture. Points of support and trim finishing the opening may contact combustible materials.

Diagrams:

1. Using the template, scribe a circle and center point on the ceiling in the desired location.
2. Using a 3-3/4" hole saw, accurately cut the hole in the ceiling. If a hole saw is not available, use a drywall saw and the scribed circle as a guide.
3. Follow Steps 1 through 4 under "Electrical Connection."
4. Remove the Spring Adjustment Label and Spring from the bottom of the Plaster Frame. Insert the Plaster Frame into the ceiling, junction box first. Seat the Plaster Frame lip on the hole in the ceiling. Install the Plaster Frame Spring.
5. With Easy-Lock Clips locked in the "shipping position", insert the can into the ceiling. Align the can slots with the squares on the alignment label located on the plaster frame collar.
6. Unlock one Easy-Lock Clip by pushing the latch up. Then slide the Easy-Lock clip up until the notches in the Support Spring slide into the slot in the can. Lock the clip in the downward position. Repeat for the other side. Adjust if necessary.

AIR-TITE™ Installation

HALO AIR-TITE™ Housings, certified under ASTM E283, are supplied with either a pre-installed gasket or a ready-to-install self-adhesive gasket.

To install the ready-to-install gasket:

1. Lay rectangular gaskets flat and peel the protective paper backing to expose the adhesive side.
2. Apply the supplied rectangular gaskets to the slot opening in such a manner that the gasket covers the slot opening fully. Properly installed Halo AIR-TITE housings provide compliance with Restricted Air Flow Regulations: Washington State Energy Code; California Title 24; New York Energy Conservation Code; International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).

Electrical Connection

Important: Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside the connectors.

For housings with push-nut connectors: Strip insulation 1/2". Use 12-16 AWG stranded wire (stranded pattern 19 or less) or 12-18 AWG solid copper wire.

Wiring Diagram: A diagram illustrating the connections for a 120V AC power supply. It shows connections for black wire to black, white wire to white, and ground wire to ground. It also depicts the wiring for non-metallic cable and metal conduit.

Fig. 7: Diagram of the wiring box, showing features like wire traps, metal conduit knockouts, and an insulation detector. It also illustrates the connection of non-metallic cable.

1. Provide electrical service according to the "National Electrical Code" or your local electrical code from a suitable junction box to the wiring box (located on the plaster frame). Supply wire insulation must be rated for at least 90°C.
2. Remove the wiring box cover. The wiring box accepts flexible metal conduit or non-metallic cable. Flexible metal conduit must be used if your electrical code requires it. For flexible metal conduit, remove appropriate round knock-out(s) and connect conduit to the wiring box with proper connector(s) (not included). For non-metallic cable, complete connections as outlined in step 3 and slide NM cable into wire traps.
3. Connect supply wires to wires in the fixture wiring box using proper size wire nuts (not included) or push wires into "push-in" connectors (included on select models). Ensure all bare current-carrying conductors are covered. Connect white to white; black to black; and green or bare copper wire (from electrical service) to the bare copper wire in the wiring box. The ground wire at the service junction box may need to be secured to a ground screw.
4. Place wires and connections back in the wiring box and replace the cover.

Trim Installation

Refer to the lamp wattage label in the housing for approved lamps and corresponding trims.
