Bend brackets as shown in Detail”A”. Install the
fixture in the ceiling using mounting channel or
bar, (by others), placed in the adjustable mount-
ing brackets. Mount the fixture in the ceiling so
that the weight of the fixture is supported by the
mounting channel or bar and/or hanger wires
secured to the building structure. Note: Housing
orientation for wall wash applications.
2. Adjust the fixture so the bottom of the plaster
flange aperture is flush with the finished ceiling
line and in aligned with adjacent fixtures. Secure
mounting brackets by tightening wing nut on
either side of the fixture.
3. Determine where the supply wiring conduit will
enter the J-Box and attach it in conformance
with the National Electric Code.
4. Remove J-Box cover plate. Remove appropriate
knockout and assemble appropriate connector
for the supply wire used. Connect ground wires
to green ground leads. Connect white (common)
to white (leads). Connect power supply (line) to
black lead(s). Reinstall J-Box cover.
WARNING: DO NOT pinch wires between J-
Box/ballast cover and J-Box. Consult a
Qualified Electrician for all other options that
require other wiring configurations.
5. Reflector Installation: Install the reflector after
all ceiling installation and finishing work is
complete. With the heatsink and conduit
extending through the plaster flange aperture
insert the ends of the heatsink spring into
reflector neck in alignment with slots, then push
the heatsink down to the desired position. Place
the spring in the upper set of slots for a 70 watt
lamp and the lower set of slots for a 57 watt
lamp.
Note: The reflectors for the 9" CFT970EB
housings have only one set of slots.
6. Push reflector up into the plaster flange until the
flange on the reflector is flush against finished
