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 75oC.
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-
