Familiarize yourself with the downlight fixture model to be installed. Refer to Table (Fig. 1) for cutout hole size. 120V electrical power whip should be installed by a licensed electrician before proceeding.
CAUTION: The space behind the location of the downlight must be clear of building materials and electrical components. -
SELECT COLOR TEMP:
Select the colour temperature of the light source. You’ll find the colour temp. selector switch on the front of the junction box. You must choose one of five colour temperatures before mounting the Power Supply Box (Fig. 4A). -
INSTALLATION PREP FOR REMODEL: Determine the position of your downlight (s) and trace a circle on the surface material. Use a keyhole saw or hole saw – to cut through the surface (Fig. 2). NOTE: It is easier to install the power supply box at this point. Go to Steps 4 and 5.1.
-
INSTALLATION PREP FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION: Use UNV-NCP’s new construction mounting plate. Consult the mounting instructions that come with this plate (Fig. 3). Be sure you use the correct aperture cut-out (Fig. 1) to prepare the plate for use. The New Construction Plate assists with the position of the hole location and Power Supply Box mount before drywall is installed. Do steps 4 and 5.2.
-
CONNECT INCOMING POWER : Open the Power Supply box cover and remove appropriate knock-outs to install fittings (1/2” trade size) with power leads. Connect the Power Supply Box to the 120V power source using flexible conduit or Romex (by others) through the mounting hole. Using wire connectors, connect incoming leads to power supply input leads. Ground to Green wire, Neutral to White wire, Hot Line to Black wire of box (Fig. 4A).
MOUNT JUNCTION BOX AND PLATE INSTALL: -
REMODEL INSTALLATION: Secure the junction box in the ceiling space. Use keyhole slots on the back of the ox to hang using 2 round head sscrews(by others).
(Fig 4B). Proceed to feed the junction box up into the hole (Fig. 4C), leaving the quick-connect cord hanging out of the trim hole for easy access. Go to Step 6 next. -
NEW CONSTRUCTION & PLATE INSTALL: Mount the power supply box to New Construction Plate before installing the plate (see locations in Fig. 3). Position the plate at the bottom of the studs, where the downlight hole in the ceiling will be. Nail plate to studs and install drywall. Locate the hole in a plate with a stud finder and cut out the hole to match the plate. Pull the quick-connect cord out of the trim hole for easy access.
-
CONNECT FIXTURE TRIM:
Connect the quick connector by inserting and twisting the male/female connectors until tight (Fig. 5). RSD-TUN-5/10/15FT-EXT are extension cords for use between the downlight and junction box. -
MOUNTING TRIM:
Depress torsion mounting springs, and push RSD trim up into the hole, letting the springs snap into place. Assure that the trim is held firmly (Fig. 6).
