Electrical Connections - Commercial Electric CER6CP6743 Instrucciones De Instalación

1. Choose the location for the fixture, taking into consideration the required 7" clearance and
the accessibility to the electrical supply.
2. Raise the housing/hanger bar assembly to the desired location between the two ceiling
joists. Adjust the width of both hanger bars to the distance between the joists. Position the
assembly so that the mounting clips of the hanger bars cup underneath the bottom edges
of the joists. Hammer down the nails of the hanger bars into the joists to secure the
assembly into place. (FIG. 3 and FIG. 4).
3. Slide the plaster frame along the hanger bars to the desired position. Using pliers squeeze
the guides of the plaster frame tightly around the hanger bars to lock the position of the
plaster frame.
4. Proceed to the ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section.
5. Install the insulation around the housing, if desired. Install the ceiling material, such as
drywall, over the housing. A template is provided to assist in making the holes in the
ceiling material. NOTE: Blown-in Insulation may also be installed after the ceiling material
has been installed.
6. Proceed to the TRIM INSTALLATION section.
1. Choose the location for the fixture, taking into consideration the required 7" clearance and
the accessibility to the electrical supply.
2. Install a ceiling tile onto the T-bar grid at the installation location. Using the provided
template and a keyhole saw make a hole at the desired location in the ceiling tile.
3. Place the housing/hanger bar assembly onto the ceiling tile into the newly created hole.
Adjust the width of both hanger bars to the distance between the two T-bars, aligning each
mounting clip with the top of its corresponding T-bar. Press down on all mounting clips
until they snap onto the T-bar. (FIG. 5 and FIG. 6) NOTE: Holes are provided on the
mounting clips that can be used to secure the hanger bars to the T-bar. Parts (I.e. screws,
hex nuts) can be purchased separately for this purpose.
4. Proceed to the ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section.
5. Proceed to the TRIM INSTALLATION section.
WARNING: First disconnect electricity at the circuit breaker or the fuse box.
Disconnecting power by using the wall switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical
shock.
1. Using BX (armored) or NM (Romex) cable, run the supply wiring from the power supply
source to the fixture location. WARNING - Use supply wires rated 90°C or higher.
Open the hinged junction box's door by lifting the metal latch.
2.
A. FOR BX (ARMORED) CABLE - Break off one of the round knockouts (FIG. 8) using a
screwdriver. Secure an appropriately sized BX cable connector to the knockout opening.
Feed the BX cable through the connector, providing 6" of slack inside the junction box.
Tighten the connector to secure the cable in place.
B. FOR NM (ROMEX) CABLE – Break off one of the rectangular knockouts located on the
top of the junction box using a screwdriver, creating a slot. (FIG. 7) Slide the NM cable into
the slot, as shown, making sure there is 6" of slack inside the junction box. (FIG. 8)
Remove at least 3" of the cable's outer sheath and remove the plastic or paper over-wrap.
3.
Strip approximately 3/8" of insulation from the ends of all supply wires. Using the provided
"quick-connect" wire connectors, make the following wire connections within the junction
box:
WHITE Fixture Wire
BLACK Fixture Wire
GREEN Fixture Wire
When using the "quick-connect" wire connectors, be sure that there are no loose/exposed
wire strands. Wrap each wire connection using UL Listed electrical tape.
NOTE: Additional lighting fixtures may be connected to the fixture's junction box. Several
knockouts are provided on the junction box to accommodate additional BX or NM cables
intended to connect to other fixtures. A marking on the junction box door specifies the
maximum number of wires and the maximum wire gauge that can be inserted into the junction
box.
4. Close the junction box door until the metal latch snaps, making sure that all wiring and
wire connectors are contained within the box.
