Installation Instructions
Determine the quantities and locations of the pucks, controllers, and drivers to be installed. Consider whether pucks will be surface-mounted or recessed- mounted. Note that multiple drivers and controllers may be required.
Surface Mounting
- Separate the surface ring from the puck housing. With the puck lens facing away from you, hold the surface ring with your fingers and press on the center of the back of the puck with your thumbs to separate the housing from the surface ring.
- Determine the desired locations for each puck and mark the locations of the mounting holes on the mounting surface using the surface ring as a template. Note that each puck has a 72″ lead wire which needs to be routed to the controller. Be sure to locate the puck lights so that each puck can reach the controller.
- Before attaching the surface ring to the mounting surface, route the lead wire through the installation notch.
- Secure the surface ring using the appropriate mounting hardware (2 screws included).
- Gently push the puck light into the surface ring until it is fully seated, making sure the lead wire is not pinched or crimped in any way.
Recessed Mounting
- Separate the surface ring from the puck housing (refer to Surface Mounting Step 1).
- Determine the desired locations for each puck and mark the locations of their centers on the mounting surface.
- Drill a 2-3/8″ diameter hole at each marked location.
- Route the puck’s lead wire through the hole and press the puck in until it is fully seated, making sure the lead wire is not pinched or crimped in any way. The side spring clips will hold the puck light in place.
