INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DBXQL
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other
reproductive harm. Thoroughly wash your hands after installing, handling, cleaning, or otherwise touching this product.
WARNING: When using special control devices with this fixture, follow instructions carefully to ensure N.E.C. compliance.
For more help, contact a qualified electrical contractor.
CAUTION: To complete the installation, choose only UL listed Prescolite trims from the label inside the housing. The use
of any trim not listed in this fixture is a violation of N.E.C. article 110-3(B) and voids all warranties.
1. For Wooden Joists: Use the Centering Notches (4) located on the Plaster Frame to position the Fixture. Extend the Bar
Hangers (6), use joist alignment tabs to locate fixture and hammer the 4 Nails (7) into Joists (8) (Fig. 1). Drive additional
nails through holes in Bar Hanger for alternate support if required (Fig. 2).
2. For Suspended Ceilings: Place the Fixture on the ceiling grid with the "T" Bars (9) running through the Bar Hanger
Notches (10). Using a flat head screwdriver or other tool, bend the integral t-bar mounting tabs (11) downward to a vertical
position (Fig. 3). Secure housing to the support structure with tie wire (supplied by others) in the holes supplied.
Sheetmetal screws (supplied by others) can also be used in the holes supplied (20).
3. Locate Housing along Bar Hanger in desired position and, using pliers, squeeze the 4 Locking Tabs (12) on the Plaster
Frame (13) tightly over the Bar Hangers to prevent further Housing movement. Bar Hangers (6) may be installed in
alternate Slots (23) if mounting conditions require.
4. As desired, hanger bars (6) may be shortened at score mark to fit tight mounting conditions and joist alignment tabs
removed to adjust vertically as needed by breaking off with pliers.
5. Unsnap Junction Box Cover (14) by lifting the Leaf Spring.
6. Run supply wires through UL Listed connectors (not supplied) in one of the five Pryouts (15) on the Junction Box (16) or
Type NM cable (ROMEX) through an Opening above the Wire Retaining Plate (17). Connect Supply Wires (19) as shown
in Fig 4 & 5. Replace Cover.
7. FOR AIR-TIGHT APPLICATIONS, such as Washington State Energy Code Requirements, the Prescolite housing is
compliant with ASTME283 restricted air flow regulations. Always follow local building codes to ensure compliance.
8. Loosen Screws (21) to adjust Housing (3) for variations in ceiling thickness. Bottom of Housing should be flush with
ceiling (22) within tolerance. Slot Covers (18) can be rotated 180 degrees in thick ceiling applications to maintain Air-Tight
requirements; "V" should be facing outward.
9. Select a Trim from the Wattage Label inside the Housing. Use Only Lamp Types approved for the Trim chosen. DO
NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LISTED WATTAGE(S)! For trim installation, refer to trim installation instructions.
SOCKET CAP AND INSTRUCTION SHEET MUST BE REMOVED FROM FIXTURE PRIOR TO ENERGIZING.
