INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
• Housing can NOT be installed in direct contact with insulation. Do not install
insulation within 3" of fixture sides or wiring compartment, nor above fixture in such
a manner to entrap heat. (Figure 1)
• Install hanger bars to fixture; ensure end tab is facing outward. (Figure 2)
• Extend bar hangers to fit between joists and position fixture temporarily by hammer-
ing nail on bars into the joists. Hangers should be level with bottom of the joists.
• Use T-Bar slot in the bottom bars for suspended (T-Bar) ceilings, bending the tabs
to hold T-Bar tightly.
• Make all necessary electrical connections (See “Electrical Connection”).
• When using 0-10V dimming drivers, Class I wiring (300V wiring inside conduit) is required.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
• Housing junction box contains two wires: a black (hot) and a white (neutral). Wires
must be spliced to the current feed wires. ALWAYS SPLICE WHITE TO WHITE
AND BLACK TO BLACK.
• Insert wires carefully into junction box. Connect the green ground wire to the green
grounding pigtail in junction box (Figure 3). Replace cover.
• For Romex or 3-wire BX, flexible metal cable installations attach supply ground lead
(green) to bare copper ground lead or ground screw in wiring box mounted on
plaster frame. Local electrical codes should be consulted to determine acceptable
installation: conduit, Romex or flexible metal cable.
• For 1000 Series Dimming, the 12D2 and 27D2 driver options can be dimmed with
0-10V dimming controls. Locate low voltage dimming control wires (purple, green) in
junction box and make appropriate connections (purple to purple, green to grey). The
yellow wire should be capped. Please consult factory for additional details.
• For 700 Series Dimming, the 12D1 driver option can be dimmed with many
standard 120V incandescent and electronic low voltage dimmers.
TRIM AND LED MODULE INSTALLATION:
• Remove protective cover from LED Module.
• For decorative trim assemblies with separate trim ring, place ring on reflector prior
to assembly.
• Attach reflector to LED Module with (2) screws (Figure 4). For trim assemblies with
lenses and/or two piece reflectors; complete the trim assembly by positioning the
lens and lower reflector in place.
• Make the LED Module electrical connection with the connectors (Figure 5).
• Carefully route excess wire out of the way; align tab in conduit base to recess in
heat-sink (Figure 5A) and snap into place making sure the tabs are engaged with
the recessed grooves. (Figure 5B)
• Push LED Module with assembled reflector through the hole in plaster frame until flush
with ceiling. Spring clip tension can be adjusted by bending spring clips.
REPLACEMENT OF LED DRIVER:
NOTE: LED Driver should be replaced by a qualified electrician. Turn off power at fuse
or circuit breaker box before replacing the LED Driver.
• Pull and drop the trim and LED Module from the frame.
• Remove the conduit base from the LED Module by squeezing the sides with tabs
and pull apart (Figure 5). Disconnect the electrical connection.
• Remove J-Box cover with LED Driver Enclosure from J-Box by pushing outward on
spring clip (Figure 6).
• Disconnect LED Driver from line voltage input wiring in J-Box. Open up the LED
Driver Enclosure and disconnect the LED Driver from the LED leads (leads are
terminated by crimp connectors).
• Reinstall Factory Approved LED Driver by reversing above procedure.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Read all the instructions before installation. Save instructions for later use.
• Turn off power at fuse or circuit breaker box before installation or before doing any
maintenance work.
• Product must be grounded to avoid potential electric shock and any other potential hazards.
• Product must be mounted in locations and at heights and in a manner consistent with its
intended use, and in compliance with National Electrical Code and local codes. Use of
accessory equipment is not recommended.
• Installing contrary to instructions may cause unsafe conditions.
• Do not block light from the trim aperture, in whole or in part, as this may cause unsafe
conditions.
• Warning: Risk of fire. Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated at 60°C.
Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
• Avoid hazards to children: account for all parts and properly dispose of all packing materials.
• Call the Technical Support department at Con-Tech Lighting with any installation
