Installation

Installing the crossbar assembly
Secure the crossbar assembly (AA) to the outlet box (not included) with the outlet box screws (BB). Tighten until snug.- NOTE: The preassembled mounting nipple on the crossbar should protrude outward.
-
Test fitting the ceiling canopy to the crossbar assembly
- Remove the pre-assembled canopy lock ring from the crossbar assembly (AA).
- Temporarily attach the ceiling canopy (EE) to the pre-assembled nipple on the crossbar assembly (AA).
- Secure with the canopy lock ring (1).
- NOTE: If the ceiling canopy is not snug against the ceiling, remove it from the crossbar assembly and adjust the length of the pre-assembled nipple by unscrewing the pre-assembled hex nut.
Screw the nipple in or out of the crossbar until the correct length is achieved. Then, re-attach the ceiling canopy.
-
Installing the fixture chain
- Guide the fixture wire with bare copper ground wire through the fixture loop (A), and screw the fixture loop (A) onto the top of the fixture body (B) securely.
- Choose desired hanging length for the light fixture. Suggested mounting height over a table or island is 30 inches from the table/island top to the bottom of the fixture. Adjust the fixture chain (FF) to the desired length, removing links if necessary.
- Connect one end of the fixture chain (FF) to the canopy chain loop preassembled to the crossbar assembly (AA) with one quick link (DD).
- Connect the other end of the fixture chain (FF) to the fixture loop (A) with the remaining quick link (DD).
- Suggested chain length to hang fixture 30 inches above table top:
- 8- ft. ceiling : 10 in. of chain + 2 quick links
- 9- ft. ceiling: 22 in. of chain + 2 quick links
- 10- ft. ceiling: 34 in. of chain + 2 quick links
- 11- ft. ceiling: 46 in. of chain + 2 quick links
- 12- ft. ceiling: 58 in. of chain + 2 quick links
- NOTE: You may need to use pliers (not included) to open the links of the fixture chain (FF). If so, put a cloth over the fixture chain (FF) to protect the finish from the pliers.
-
Pulling the supply wires
- Pull the supply wires and ground wire up through the fixture chain alternating links.
- Push the ends of the supply wires and ground wire up through the canopy chain loop and into the outlet box. The remaining slack wire will be inserted into the outlet box in STEP 6.
- NOTE: To make the next step easier, cut the supply wire and ground wire 24 inches longer than the distance from the fixture loop to the ceiling. Important: Please pay attention to the polarity (wires labels L & N) when cutting wires. Wire identification will be needed in STEP 5.
-
Trimming excess fixture wire
- Unthread the canopy lock ring.
- Slide the canopy lock ring and the ceiling canopy (EE) down the quick link (DD).
- Push all slack fixture wire through the canopy chain loop and into the outlet box.
- Trim excess fixture wire leaving a minimum of 6 inches hanging out of the outlet box.
- Separate the smooth side and ribbed side of the supply wire to about 3 inches from the end.
- Using wire strippers, strip each wire ½ inch from the end.
-
Making the electrical connections
- Use wire connectors (CC) to connect the wires. Ground wire:
- Wrap the supply ground wire around the green ground screw on the crossbar assembly (AA), no less than 2 in. from the end of the wire. Tighten ground screw.
- Connect the fixture ground wire to the supply ground wire with the wire connector (CC).
- Supply wire:
- Connect the house white wire to the fixture supply wire (ribbed sided) from fixture identified with the label “N”.
- Connect the house black (or red) wire to the fixture supply wire (smooth side) from fixture identified with the label “L”.
- Wrap each connection with approved electrical tape and carefully insert all of the connected wires into the outlet box.
-
Installing the ceiling canopy
- Attach the ceiling canopy (EE) back over the canopy chain loop.
- Secure with the canopy lock ring.
