WARNING

Risk of Fire

Supply conductors (power wires) connecting the fixture must be rated minimum 90°C

If uncertain, consult an electrician

Risk of Electric Shock

Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing

Risk of Fire/Electric Shock

If not qualified, consult an electrician

WARNING : For your safety read and understand instructions completely before starting installation. Before wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at the fuse or circuit breaker box. Halo recessed fixtures are designed to meet the latest NEC requirements and are UL listed in full compliance with UL 1598. Before attempting installation of any recessed fixture check your local electrical code. This code sets the wiring standards for your locality and should be carefully studied before starting.

Installation in New Construction

• Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside the wire nut connectors.

• Fixture is designed for installation where it may come in contact with insulation (Fig. 1).
  

• Bar Hangers for this fixture are of interlocking design to allow positioning of housing along entire length of bars. Position bar hangers as shown. (Fig. 2)
  

• Bar hangers may be shortened to fit 12″ framing. Pass bar hangers through each end until the bars overlap, then break off at score lines (no tools required and bar hangers do not need to be removed from plaster frame).

Step 1 Extend bar hangers to fit between joists. Position fixture by hammering nails into joists. Hangers should be
level with bottom of joists. (Fig. 2)
Step 2 Follow Steps 1 through 4 under “Electrical Connection.”
Step 3 Position fixture on hanger bars. To secure fixture position in ceiling, tighten screw and/or squeeze tabs into
hanger bars to lock fixture in place on bars. (Fig. 2)

Installation in Suspended Ceilings

Step 1 Locate center of proposed opening on ceiling tile and cut a 6 1/2″ diameter hole.
Step 2 Place ceiling tile in T-bar grid.
Step 3 Snap fixture on T-bars. Secure with screw (not included) as shown (Fig. 3)


Step 4 Follow Steps 1 through 4 under “Electrical Connection.”
Step 5 Center Fixture over opening. To secure fixture position in ceiling, tighten screw and/or squeeze tabs into hanger bars to lock fixture in place on bars. (Fig. 2)

Installation in New Construction – Strapped Ceilings

Option 1 Nail Installation on the joist.

• Use guide hole below nail to align bar hanger bracket below joist to adjust for the thickness of the strapping
• Align guide hole below the joist to where you just see through the guide hole and hammer nails into joists
• Additional nails or screws may be used in the hanger tab hole

Option 2 Installation on strapping

• Use levelling flange to position housing on bottom of strapping (strapping must be spaced between 12” to 24” apart)
• Use slot or hole in levelling flange to secure the bar hanger bracket to the strapping with nails or screws (not included)

Installation for AIR-TITE Construction

Halo AIR-TITE™ housings with ASTME283 certification are supplied with either a pre-installed gasket or with a ready-toinstall self adhesive gasket. To complete the AIR-TITE installation of the ready-to-install gasket:

Step 1. Lay gasket flat and peel protective paper backing from gasket to expose adhesive side.

Step 2. Apply supplied gasket to ceiling lip and wrap gasket around inside of housing to form seal at the ceiling opening.

When properly installed, Halo AIR-TITE™ housings provide compliance with restricted air flow regulations: Washington State Energy Code; California Title 24; New York Energy conservation Code; International Energy conservation code (IECC)

Electrical Connection

Step 1 Provide electrical service according to the “National

Electrical Code” or your local electrical code from a suitable junction box to the wiring box (located on the plaster frame). Supply wire insulation must be rated for at least 90˚C.

Step 2 Remove the wiring box cover.

Note: The wiring box will accept metal conduit or non-metallic cable, but metal conduit must be used if your electrical code requires it.

Metal conduit: Remove appropriate round knock-out(s) and connect conduit to wiring box with proper connector(s) (not included).

Non-metallic cable: Complete connections as outlined in step 3 and push cable into wire traps (Fig. 4).

Step 3 Connect supply wires to wires in fixture wiring box with proper size wire nuts (not included) or push wires into “push-in” connectors (included on select models). Be sure to cover all bare current-carrying conductors. Connect white to white; black to black; and green or bare copper wire (from electrical service) to bare copper wire (in wiring box).

Note: The ground wire at the service junction box may need to be secured to a ground screw.

Step 4 Place wires and connections back in wiring box and replace cover.

Trim Installation

Refer to lamp wattage label in the housing for approved lamps and corresponding trims.

NOTE: Some housings allow only limited vertical adjustment of the socket plate. Do not attempt to defeat these safeguards.

NOTE: Some trims may require you to remove the socket from the socket plate and to remove and discard the socket plate – follow the instructions with the trim.
