GROUND WIRE ATTACHMENT

Note: Ground wire must be securely installed to the housing. Three connection methods are shown below.

  1.  For ground connection from LED module to housing, use provided green ground wire (factory installed) as shown in (Fig. 1).
  2. Connect another end of the ground wire to housing.
    Connection to housing may vary depending on the model. Three connection methods are described below.
    • Use existing screw inside the housing (Fig. 2).
    • Use supplied #8 nut (C) on existing stud (Figure 3).
    • Use supplied #8 screw (B) in existing hole (Fig. 4) #2 #1

DETERMINING WHICH INSTALLATION METHOD TO USE

For 6” housings with torsion spring receiving brackets:
Note:
Module ships with torsion spring preinstalled in the 6” bracket position.
• No further assembly is required. For 6” housings without torsion spring receiving brackets (see page 3 in the HOUSINGS section of these instructions for a listing of the most common housings):

  1. Remove torsion spring brackets completely (keep screws) (see Fig. 5).
  2. Locate friction blade with “6” cut out (see Figure 6).
  3. Attach friction blade to the base with “6” marking (use a screw from Step 1)(See Figure 6).
  4. Repeat 1-3 for the second blade. For 5” housings with torsion spring receiving  brackets:

Note:
Module ships with torsion spring preinstalled in the 6” bracket position.

  1. Loosen torsion spring bracket screw (Fig. 5).
  2. Slide bracket to inward position such that the bracket fits over the guide on the heat sink and screw is positioned next to “5” (Fig. 7).
  3. Tighten screw.
  4.  Repeat steps 1-3 for the 2nd torsion spring bracket.

For 5” housings without torsion spring receiving brackets (see page 3 for a list of pre-tested housings):

  1. Remove torsion spring brackets completely (keep screw) (see Fig. 5).
  2. Locate friction blade with “5” cut out (see Figure 8).
  3. Attach friction blade to the base with “5” marking (use a screw from Step 1) (See Figure 8).
