Low-voltage Halogen Pendant

No. 5517

Please make sure that the following parts for your low-voltage pendant
are enclosed:

1. Fixture including ceiling canopy, frame and height

adjustment bar.

2. Additional backplate and universal crossbar strap
3. Glass shades
4. Bulbs for 5517/7: 7 ea x 20 Watt Halostar by Osram,

GY6.35 base. Order Code: 9250*020-HSTAR

This fixture utilizes an electronic, line-voltage (120
V input) to low-voltage (12 V output) transformer by
LIGHTECH, rated at 175 Watts for the 5517/7, allowing
for a 20 Watt maximum per bulb.

If you are planning to use a dimmer with this fixture,
we recommend using a Lutron ELV (electronic low
voltage) style dimmer.
NOTE: The electronic transformer by LIGHTECH is equipped with an automatic reset switch.
If the fixture is not working or has created a short, disconnect the power to the fixture and the
transformer will reset itself.

Be sure to turn off the circuit breaker before installing this fixture.
Dry location only.

Mounting Instructions (Diagram 1)

Parts used:
A) Round 5” decorative plate with universal crossbar

B) Long metal strap with screws

C) Two brass tubular nuts

D) Two decorative knobs.

Mounting Instructions, continued

1. Disconnect power to the box before installation.
2. Remove decorative knobs (D) and the brass tubular nuts (C) that are located under

the decorative knobs (D).

3. Remove the long metal strap (B) located on the top of canopy.
4. Mount the round decorative plate (A) to the metal strap with screws provided on the

universal crossbar strap, then mount the assembled piece to the outlet box.

5. Connect the wires from the fixture with the wires in the outlet

box according to generally accepted electrical standards.
Determine the polarity of the cord by rubbing it with your
thumb. One side will feel smooth (= hot/black) and the
other side will feel rough (= cold/white).

6. Slide the canopy over the metal strap and secure with brass

tubular screws (C).

7. Finally put decorative knobs (D) on the bottom of the

canopy.

Fixture Cable Length Adjustment (Diagram 2)

This low-voltage pendant cannot be lengthened in the field.
Due to the nature of this support system, fixtures requiring longer
support cables will have to be special ordered.

This fixture is supported by two separate cables connected to the
fixture at the finished cable holder (E).

1. Locate the nut (J) at the bottom of the cable holder. Take

the weight off the fixture and unscrew the nut (J).

2. Remove the horizontal cable (H) from the cable holder.
3. Pull the vertical cable (G) down to reveal the cable guide

(F). Pull enough cable through the guide to correct the
height. Cut the support cable off to the correct length.

4. Replace the horizontal cable (H). Pull the vertical cable (G)

back up into place.

5. Screw the cable holder nut (J) back in place.

Fixture Height Adjustment (Diagram 3)

The center bar (K) between the canopy and the fixture can be
raised or lowered to adjust the overall height of the fixture. Press
the knobs (L) at each end of the center bar simultaneously to
raise or lower the fixture to the desired height.
