Installation
IMPORTANT:
TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE INSTALLATION LOCATION AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
Step 1: Prepare proper wiring and wall switch.
-
Turn off the main power before installing the fixture to prevent possible electric shock. Locate the circuit breaker control for the room where you’ll be working and switch the circuit to off.
-
A whip is required for hardwire installation. In other words, you need access to a power cable that comes from a Junction Box in the wall. The power cable should be on a switched circuit to allow for control of the mirror lights. These extra wires are pre-wired together. Ensure that you are using 3 conductor wires (Black=Live, White=Neutral, Green=Ground). Make sure the length of the whip is long enough to reach from the power box in the wall to the mirror. If the whip is longer than needed, you may choose to use a wire cutter to reduce the length.
IMPORTANT- Mirrors that include Touch Control functionality require the junction box circuit to be a constant hot circuit and not a switched circuit.
- Mirrors that include a Defogger (non-touch controlled) can be wired in three different ways:
- On the same switch as the mirror lights: When the mirror lights turn on, the defogger turns on. This requires the junction box circuit to be a switched circuit.
- On a separate switch from the mirror lights: One switch will control the mirror lights and a separate switch will control the defogger. This requires the junction box circuit to have separate switched circuits, one for the mirror lights and one for the defogger.
- Always on, no switch required: The defogger will remain on, even when the mirror lights are off. This requires the junction box circuit to be split with one side constant hot (for the defogger) and one side that is switched (for the mirror lights).
-
If your mirror includes dimming capability but does not include the optional Dimmable Touch Button upgrade, verify that your wall switch supports dimming functionality. The dimmable switch must be 0-10V or Triac based on the configuration of your personalized mirror.
Step 2: Map out the installation area and mount the lighted mirror housing to the wall.
- Align the mirror housing on the wall. Using the keyhole at the top center, mark and drill the hole. If mounting on drywall, insert the provided wall anchors using a hammer. This step can be omitted if mounting into studs.
- After securing the mirror housing to the wall with a screw, mark the outermost hole in each corner. Next, remove the mirror housing and drill holes for the provided wall anchors. Install the wall anchors, then rehang the mirror housing and secure it by screwing in all the corners.
Step 3: Make wiring connections.
- Séura lighted mirrors are equipped with an easy-to-install wiring fixture disconnect that can be found on the mirror housing that is now connected to the wall. Refer to your included drawing package to identify the location of the fixture disconnect.
- Connect the whip (extra wires that are pre-wired together) from step 1 to the fixture disconnect. The connection accepts AWG 16 – 12 solid or stranded (19 strands maximum). Using a wire stripper, strip the insulation on the wires back approximately 1/2”.
- Open the fixture disconnect by pushing down on the tab that connects the top and bottom pieces. Connect wires into the fixture disconnect using the color code diagram pictured. Reconnect the top and bottom pieces by sliding them together.
- If using a 0-10V dimmable switch, then connect 0-10V dimming signal directly to the driver dimming control wires.
- Turn the wall switch to on and verify functionality. If on a constant hot circuit, power will be delivered immediately when the circuit breaker is turned back on.
Wiring Fixture Disconnect
Step 4: Hang the mirror
- Hang the mirror onto the housing by positioning the mounting brackets on the back of the mirror so they rest on top of the brackets on the housing. Start by holding the mirror slightly higher than the housing and slowly lower the mirror until the mirror brackets rest on the housing brackets.
- Tuck any extra wire into the wall behind the mirror so it’s no longer visible.
- Ensure the brackets are interlocked and the mirror is secure by making sure the mirror is level and evenly spaced from the wall.
Care and Maintenance
Séura’s mirror glass coatings have been developed to protect the mirror surface and allow easy maintenance. Please follow the guidelines listed for proper mirror care and cleaning:
- The glass surface should be cleaned with any conventional non-ammoniated glass cleaner. Do not use any acid, alkali, or ammonia cleaners.
- Care should be taken to use only a soft lint-free cloth. Apply all cleaners directly to the cloth and not the mirror surface. Never saturate the mirror surface as a residual cleaner may seep behind the mirror. Do not allow the mirror edges to remain wet.
- Stubborn spots can be removed with solvents such as mineral spirits, de-natured alcohol, and acetone. Immediately remove solvent and dirt residues per the prescribed methods above with a compatible glass cleaner or water.
- Take care when moving the mirror or accessories near the edges of the mirror. Exposed polished edges of glass are susceptible to chipping when in contact with other hard surfaces such as a faucet or metal soap dispenser.
Decorative frames should be cleaned using a clean, soft cloth to wipe dust and dirt off.
