1. Electric current can cause painful

shock or serious injury unless handled

properly. For your safety, always

remember the following:

· Turn off the power supply.

· Ground the fixture to avoid poten-

tial electrical shocks.

· Do not handle an energized fixture

or energize any fixture with wet

hands, when standing on a wet or

damp surface, or in water.

2. Specific safety information concerning

· Match wattage of fixture and lamp

exactly.

· Do not remove or insert lamp when

power is on.

· Do not scratch glass or subject lamp

NEW INSTALLATION FOR SQ

Lay-in panel T-bar ceiling:

1. Cut ceiling opening slightly larger

than the outside diameter of the

mounting frame.

2. Position mounting frame through

opening in ceiling. Release clamp-

ing latch arms and adjust channel

bars to the correct spacing be-

tween T-bar as shown in Figure 1.

Secure channel bars to T-bar by

means of wire ties, screws or by

bending ends onto T-bar as shown

in Figure 2.

3. Once mounting frame has been

secured in structure, adjust the

mounting frame vertically to align

the bottom edge to either flush or

slightly above (1/8" max) the ceiling

line (Figure 3). Secure mounting

frame into position by closing the

clamping latch arm. The notch

located in the draw-down flange of

the housing can be used to assist

with alignment of multiple fixtures

(Figure 4).

4. If additional security is required, a

No. 8 sheet metal screw, wire tie or

wire (not supplied) may be used to

tie the latch arm to the mounting

frame as shown in Figure 1.

5. Remove knockouts on junction box to

feed power supply to fixture as

shown in Figure 5. Supply wire must

meet applicable electrical codes

and be rated for a minimum of 75

Junction box is thru-wire rated for 8-

No. 12 AWG conductors (4 in-4 out).

6. Complete necessary wire connec-

tions. Snap the door onto the junc-
