Make sure the power is turned off at the source to the recessed housing(s) where the fixtures(s) will be installed. Remove the existing trim and bulb from the recessed housing fixture. Open access panel to the conduit junction box (AA). Ensure that at least one conduit knockout is available to make the input power connection.
Extend the input power conduit lead (B) through ceiling and connect conduit fitting to junction box. Attach the safety cable (C) onto a structural point above the plenum. Connect the fixture wires to the supply wires according to diagram above.
WARNING: If there is no ground supply wire, stop installation and consult a qualified electrician.
NOTE: If a 0-10v dimming system is available, connect the purple and pink wires to the corresponding purple and pink wires in the building dimming system. If no dimming is required, leave the wires unconnected.
Set the desired color temperature (CCT) using the slide switch on the back of the housing. Adjusting the switch will change the CCT to 3000K (warm white), 3500K (soft white), or 4000K (cool white).
NOTE: Before proceeding to the next step, please be aware that CCT is set to 4000K by default; if you choose to install the luminaire without adjusting the switch, the CCT will remain at 4000K.
Carefully tuck all wires into junction box and replace the junction box cover panel. Fold up both spring arms and insert the entire fixture up through the ceiling while letting the tension on the spring arms close onto the upper surface of the ceiling panel.
