INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
FC MOUNT: Flexible Cable Mono-Point, Damp Location Listed
RS MOUNT: Rigid Stem Mono-Point, Damp Location Listed
Prior to assembly, ensure 4" Round or Square (with a Round-to-Square Junction Box
Cover Plate) Junction Box is properly mounted to the ceiling structure. The center-to-
center mounting holes on the 4" Round Junction Box are 3-1/2"; the Round-to-Square
Junction Box Cover are 2-3/4". Both use 8-32 x 1/2" screws.
Loosen the (2) Philips screws that hold the mounting bar to the top round wiring
compartment. (Figure 1) Attach the mounting bar to the junction box or junction box
cover. Continue with fixture assembly instructions.
FIXTURE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Shade/hood assembly comes with 132" of socket lead wiring in a silicone sleeve:
8" and 12" Single Lamp CFL Housings: (2) Blue, (2) Red, (1) Green
12" Two-Lamp CFL Housings: (2) Blue, (2) Red, (2) Yellow, (1) Green
8" and 12" CMH Housings: (1) Black, (1) White, (1) Green;
Black = Blue and White = Red
Bicycle Cable (CGF8 and CGF12):
The Bicycle Cable Connector has (1) 2mm recessed hex head screw for locking into
the nipple plus (2) 2mm recessed hex head screws for locking into the bicycle
cable. (Figure 2) (1) 2mm hex key wrench is supplied with each fixture.
Determine length of bicycle cable required.
If cutting is required, loosen bicycle cable from connector. Slide bicycle cable off
the wiring. Remove wire grommet. Cut bicycle cable with a hacksaw using a fine
tooth (32T) blade, BX Armor cable cutter or high speed metal cutting blade.
Remove any sharp edges. Re-insert internal wire grommet. Slide bicycle cable over
the wiring. NOTE: The bicycle cable will only accept the wires less the silicone
sleeve. Re-insert the bicycle cable connector. Tighten all hex head screws as
much as possible.
Flexible Cord (CGM8 and CGM12):
Determine the length of flexible cord required.
If cutting is required, loosen the coiled 18-3 cable. There should not be any
excess cable in the ballast compartment. Leave only 6-8" for wiring available.
Mark the cable where it needs to be cut. Carefully score the outer jacket around the
diameter of the cable about 6-8" below the total length. Then, score the outer jacket
lengthwise for that 6-8" section. Use proper rotary cable slitters such as Ideal
#45-128 or Eclipse #200-009. Remove the outer jacket. Trim off the individual wire
insulations by 1/2".
For CMH ballast wiring, mark the white wire with red colored tape and the black wire
with blue colored tape. Insert the cut wiring through the cable connector on the ballast
housing. Attach the black strain relief bracket to cord. (Figure 5) Tighten the (2) plastic
straight blade screws in order to hold the cord to the ballast housing safely. (Figure 4)
Make your wiring connections to the CMH ballast inside the ballast compartment.
Rigid Stem (CGF8 and CGF12):
Determine length of the stem with internal coupling required. A swivel stem
attachment (35° adjustment) is included for sloped ceiling applications (Figure 2).
Assemble stems onto the shade/hood assembly one at a time, carefully feeding
wiring through each section.
After all the stems are attached completely, remove the (4) brass screws from the
top of the ballast compartment and insert the wiring into the bottom of the compart-
ment. (Figure 1) Screw the stem(s) into the nipple. Tighten all hex head screws
as much as possible.
Rigid Stem (CGM8 and CGM12):
Determine the length of the stem with external couplings required.
Loosen the (2) 3.0mm steel hex head screws from the cord grip connector. (Figure 3)
Remove the inner grommet. Slide the stems over the flexible cord. Screw into the top
cable connector. Tighten the (2) 3.0mm steel hex head screws. Add couplings to the
stem (if required).
Determine the length of flexible cord required.
Use the CGM (8, 12) Flexible Cord Instructions for the balance of the installation.
Loosen the (2) plastic straight blade screws from the ballast compartment cord grip
connector. (Figure 4) Remove the inner grommet. Insert the flexible cord through
the connector. Screw the stem to the ballast compartment cable connector. Tighten
the (2) plastic straight blade screws.
