along the Light Engine Reflector making sure
that the guide rail on the Inner Adapter enters
the guide slot on the Outer Adapter. Also
ensure that the flange on the Light Engine
glides into the flange slot on the Inner Adapter
Mount. Once together, verify that the snap tabs
are fully engaged in the tab holes.
c. Repeat the steps on the other end of the
Light Engine that doesn’t have the Driver
Enclosure.

and/or drawings. Do not make or alter any open
holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical
components during kit installation.
WARNING – To prevent wiring damage or abrasion,
do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or
other sharp objects.
NOTICE: This kit is intended for use with existing
light xtures where the host light xture is either
(a) provided with no open holes larger than 26mm2
(0.04in2) in area, or (b) rated, and marked, for use in
non-re rated installations.
NOTE: Suitable for bi-level switching only on line
voltage input for low voltage dimming connections,
Class 1 wiring methods shall be employed.

Step 2 (Continued):
c. Cut the power wires going into the input side of
the ballast. The ballast may remain in place, unless
it is determined that it needs to be removed to
provide extra clearance.
NOTE: If parts have to be removed from the host
lighting fixture in order to complete the installa-
tion of this upgrade kit, then make sure that open
holes are closed-o utilizing the existing host
lighting fixture hardware (i.e. screws, covers, etc.)
d. Insert a corner of one of the End Mounts into the
ceiling in between the T-grid and the host lighting
fixture and do the same on the opposite diagonal
corner. Rotate the End Mount so that it is square in
the host lighting fixture.
e. Push the End Mount to the back of the host light-
ing fixture so that the long edge of the End Mount
slides in between the T-grid and the host lighting
fixture. Repeat the process on the other end host
lighting fixture.
f. Install the Side Panels by first inserting the Side
Panel Guide into the Side Panel Guide Slot on one
end and then the other.
g. Push the Side Panel outward until the Hemmed
Edge inserts in between the T-grid and the host
lighting fixture. Repeat on the other side of the
fixture with the other Side Panel.
h. Secure the host lighting fixture within its respec-
tive gridwork by either (a) utilizing the earthquake/
suspended ceiling clips on the existing host lighting
fixture, or (b) insert screws through the gridwork
right above the recessed lip of the host lighting fix-
ture so as to prevent the host lighting fixture from
moving upward in the gridwork.
INSTALLING LIGHT ENGINE
Step 3:
a. Install Light Engine into the fixture by holding it
vertical and pushing it upward so that the Mount
Pin falls into the Mount Pin Vertical Guide. Continue
to push upward until the Mount Pin snaps into
the Mount Pin Hole on each end. Slowly remove
support holding Light Engine to ensure the Light
Engine is being supported by the End Mount.
b. Once the Light Engine is properly hung, the elec-
trical connections need to be made. The first step is
to ground the Side Panels. This is done by inserting
a Ground Wire Assembly on each Side Panel. Make
the connection on the Side Panel Grounding Tabs
closest to the junction box on the Light Engine.
c. After these connections are made, using the
Ground Wire Assembly connector to bend the Side
Panel Grounding Tabs up around 45°. This prevents
the Ground Wire Assemblies from interfering with
the Light Engine when it is fully installed.

Step 3 (Continued):
d. When wiring the light engine, either utilize the
provided grommets in the knockouts located on
the junction box covers on the top of the light
engine, or remove the junction box covers from the
light engine completely. Connect wires as shown
in wiring diagram. Tuck the wiring above the Side
Panel closest to the Light Engine junction box so
that they are out of the way.
NOTE: If additional wiring is needed in order to
complete the installation of this upgrade kit, then
it is recommended to utilize the wiring from the
original host lighting fixture that was discarded.
e. Swing the free hanging end of the Light Engine
up and ensure that the Mount Pin slides into the
Mount Pin Pivoting Guide. Continue to push up
until the Mount Pin snaps into the Mount Pin Hole
of each side of the Light Engine.
f. The unit is now ready to use. Reconnect power to
the fixture and turn on light to test connections.
REMOVING LIGHT ENGINE
Step 4:
a. To remove the UPKIT fixture, first disconnect the
power going to the fixture. Then remove the Mount
Plugs from one end of the fixture by prying them
out using a sharp, small tool.
b. Once the Mount Plug is removed, a slot in the
Mount Pin is visible. Insert a flathead screwdriver in
the slot and slide in the Mount Pin away from the
center of the fixture. This will disengage one side of
the Light Engine. Repeat the process for the other
side until the Light Engine can swing down.
c. When the Light Engine is hanging from the
fixture, disconnect the power connections and
grounding wires.
d. Remove the Mount Plugs from this end and use
the screwdriver to disengage the Light Engine
from the fixture.
e. Remove the Side Panels and then take out the
End Mounts.
NOTE: The retrofit kit is accepted as a
component of a luminaire where the
suitability of the combination shall
be determined by CSA or Authorities
having jurisdiction.
