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

• 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
• 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 3-3/4″ 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 AIRTITE Construction
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 gasket flat and peel protective paper backing 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 Rnergy Conservation Code, International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)

Electrical Connection

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

Low Voltage Cautions

Dimming: Dimming quartz halogen lamps may reduce lamp life. Low voltage fixtures with solid state or magnetic transformers require proper dimming equipment. An improper dimmer may cause damage to the transformer and shorten lamp life, Consult factory for dimmer recommendations.
Some sound may be emitted by the transformer and/or the dimmer in the dimmed mode.
Lamps: Some 12V MR16 lamps are not compatible with Halo recessed Downlights. Consult your local Halo representative for further information on dimming, installation or lamp compatibility.
