Assembly Preparations
Tools and Accessories Required:
•Drill
•Level
•9/16” (14,3 mm) open-end wrench (or adjustable wrench)
•Wire cutter/stripper
•Allen key (3/32 in / 2,4 mm)
•Screwdriver, small flat-blade
•Screwdriver, small Phillips
•Wire nuts and wiring for supply connections
Materials Required:(not supplied with light)
•Mounting plate. (See page 8)
•Washers and spacers. (For mounting flush with wall)
•Special anchors for concrete or brick walls.
•Switch box – For wall switch panel.
•Electrical wire—To light.
•Conduit for electrical lines to wall mount / switch.
•Wall switch. (For 100 and 240 V versions only)
Support and Anchorage
To prevent sway and provide proper support of the light, the wall mount must be attached to a
structurally-sound wall or similar structure.
Most walls will require adequate reinforcing to hold the light. The installing contractor is
responsible for providing this reinforcement to suit the individual requirements for each
installation.
A typical reinforcement consists of a ¼” (6 mm) steel plate. Make certain the mounting plate is
vertical, or the arm may “drift”.
Equipment anchorage diagrams are supplied with these instructions to help with the installation
(see page 14). The diagrams were prepared by a California-licensed Structural Engineer. If the
lights are installed accordingly, the system will meet requirements of the State Seismic Codes.

down, please refer to the Operation & Maintenance manual for guidance on how to adjust this.
Static Inspection
NOTE: The static (structural) inspection must be carried out before the installation of the wall
or ceiling fastening.
•The strength of the construction must be designed, checked and certified by a
structural engineer.
•The respective regional construction regulations that apply must be followed.
•If an erroneous hole is drilled by mistake (e.g. drilling of a reinforcement rod) the structural
engineer who is responsible must be contacted, since adequate static load distribution in the
ceiling may have been jeopardized.
