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.
Housing Installation
Fixture is designed for installation where it will NOT come in contact with
insulation. Thermal insulation must be kept a minimum of three inches (3″)
away from the housing (Fig. 1). All other combustible materials must be spaced
no less than one-half inch (1/2″) from all parts of the fixture. The points of
support and the trim finishing off the opening in the ceiling or wall surface
shall be permitted to be in contact with combustible materials
Step 1 Using template, scribe a circle and center point on ceiling in
desired location.
Step 2 Using a 3-3/4″ hole saw, accurately cut hole in ceiling (If a hole
saw is not available, use a drywall saw and use the scribed circle as a
guide).
Step 3 Follow Steps 1 through 4 under “Electrical Connection.”
Step 4 Remove Spring Adjustment Label and Spring from bottom of Plaster
Frame. Insert Plaster Frame into ceiling, junction box first. Seat Plaster
Frame lip on hole in ceiling. Install Plaster Frame Spring (See Figure 2).
Step 5 With Easy-Lock Clips locked in the “shipping position”(See Figure
3) insert can into ceiling. Align can slots with squares on the alignment
label located on the plaster frame collar.
Step 6 Unlock one Easy-Lock Clip by pushing the latch up (See Figure 4).
Then slide the Easy-Lock clip up until the notches in the Support Spring
slides into the slot in the can (See Figure 5). Once inserted, slide down the
easy lock clip until the Support Spring contacts the top surface of the
plaster frame. Lock the clip in the downward position (See figure 6) Repeat
for the other side. Adjust if necessary.

Installation for AIR-TITEConstruction
Halo AIR-TITE Housings with ASTM E-283 certification are supplied with either a pre-installed gasket or a ready-to-install self adhesive gasket – install as follows:
Step 1. Lay rectangular gaskets flat and peel protective paper backing to
expose adhesive side.
Step 2. Apply supplied rectangular gaskets to slot opening in such a
manner that the gasket covers the slot opening fully. 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
- Make certain no bare wires are exposed out-side the connectors.
- For housings with push-nut connectors:
– Strip insulation 1/2″
– Use 12-16 AWG stranded (stranded pattern 19 or less)
– or use 12-18 AWG solid copper wire
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 flexible metal conduit or non-metallic
cable, but flexible metal conduit must be used if your electrical code
requires it.
Flexible 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 slide
NM cable into wire traps (Fig. 7).
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.
