SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Remove the CDR50 & CDR100 Recessed Chalice lighting fi xture from its shipping box. Set the unit down on
a fl at surface before proceeding. Remove the trim ring and lens from the fi xture by squeezing the two ten-
sion springs on the trim ring and set aside.
Lamping and Re-lamping
The CDR50 & CDR100 Recessed Chalice lighting fi xture is provided with an integral 50W and 100W LED light
engine respectively. Under normal operating conditions, the LED light engine should have a rated life ex-
pectancy of over 50,000 hours. There are no user serviceable parts inside. The entire LED assembly will need
to be changed.
Mounting the fi xture
The CDR50 & CDR100 are designed for ceiling mount only and away from insulation. Install two mounting
brackets onto either side of the fi xture, but removing the ¼-20 screw and mounting the two brackets to the
hole in the fi xture side. Cut out an appropriate size 6” diameter hole for the CDR50 or an 8” diameter hole
for the CDR100. Install the fi xture from the top of the ceiling onto the hole cutout making sure to align the
center of the LED light engine to the center of the hole. Hold the main fi xture body in place and secure each
end of the two mounting brackets to adjacent beams. Secure the four ends of the brackets in place to a
beam using either drywall or wood screws. Note: Use the beams to support the fi xture, not the surface of the
ceiling.
Connecting power and/or data to the fi xture
Wiring should be done by a qualifi ed electrician. AC high power and DC low voltage DMX512 data can be
brought to the fi xture through any of the many knock-outs provided. Make sure the fi xture is wired to a
properly grounded circuit breaker. For DMX512, connect COM, Data+ and Data- as marked inside the fi xture.
Focusing the fi xture
Install the trim ring with the lens back onto the fi xture by squeezing the two torsion springs into the two
slots provided on the fi xture from the bottom. To change lenses in the CDR50, pull the two tabs holding the
lens down up and away with a needle nose pliers. Put them back in place when the new lens is installed. For
the CDR100, simply slide the lens retaining pins, clips, or tabs out of the way and back in place onto the new
lens.
Cleaning the fi xture
Routine cleaning of the CDR50 & CDR100 Recessed Chalice lighting fi xture will provide years of prolonged
use. Use compressed air to blow off any dust and dirt from the lens, refl ector, electronics and heat sink. For
the lens, use a soft lint-free cloth dampened with water to clean the lens of dust and dirt. Dry off completely
with compressed air or a dry lint-free cloth.
ETL FILE LISTING
The CDR50 & CDR100 Recessed Chalice lighting fi xture is ETL and c-ETL listed under Altman File 9700680 for
UL1598 and UL8750 for Luminaires.
