INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(for new construction housings)

WARNING : For your safety, read and understand instructions completely before starting installation. Before wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at fuse or circuit breaker box.

NOTE : Aculux recessed fixtures are designed to meet the latest NEC requirements and are listed under the relevant UL standards. Before attempting installation of any recessed lighting fixture, check your local electrical building code. This code sets the wiring and installation requirements for your locality and should be understood before starting your work.

TYPE IC FOR USE IN INSULATED CEILINGS
Aculux fixtures with “ICAT” in the model number are designed for direct contact with insulating materials approved for the application. They may also be used in non-insulated ceilings. Low Density open-cell Spray Foam Insulation Compatible: 04LM | 08LM | 12LM (ICAT option) are compatible with foam insulation with an R-Value of 4.3 per inch or less per ASTM C518 or C1363 (excludes ECOS2, ECOD, & WDIM). Medium Density closed-cell Spray Foam Insulation Compatible: 04LM | 08LM (ICAT option) are compatible with foam insulation with an R-Value of 6.8 per inch or less per ASTM C518 or C1363 (excludes ECOS2, ECOD, & WDIM). When spray foam insulation is used, seal any visible infiltration paths, including junction box pry-out slots, prior to applying the insulating material. Follow all appli-cation and installation guidelines provided by the spray foam manufacturer.

TYPE NON-IC FOR USE IN NON INSULATED CEILINGS
Aculux fixtures not containing “ICAT” (type non-IC) are designed for installations where the housing and J-Box will not come into contact with insulation. Insulation and combustible materials must be spaced at least 3” away from the housing and J-Box. Blinking or powering off of the light during use indicates an overheating condition which may be caused by insulating material being too close to or covering fixture. Caution: Failure to correct an overheating condition may result in fire and serious injury. In Canada, when insulation is present, Type IC fixtures must be used.

AIR-LOC & CCEA APPROVED 
Aculux “ICAT” recessed housings meet energy code air leak-age requirements per ASTM E283. This stops infiltration and exfiltration of air, which contributes to reduced heating and cooling costs. Aculux “CP” recessed housing are also CCEA approved (City of Chicago Environmental Air) for use in environmental air spaces other than ducts and plenums. This is also referred to as “Chicago Plenum”.
