Step 1
Preparation: Remove wing nuts on T-bar clips
and remove clips from frame. Discard both the
clips and wing nuts (Fig.D.). Loosen wing nuts
on frame clamps enough to allow free
movement of mounting bars (Fig.B.)
Step 2
Position and install frame: Position frame
between joists with the end bracket at one end
placed against, and flush to, the bottom of the
joist. When positioned, fasten and bracket with
nail or screw through any of the provided holes
in the bracket (Fig.E). Extend the end
bracket at the opposite end of the frame until
it contact the opposite joist. Align and attach.
Slide the frame along the mounting bars until
the aperture is in the desired position and lock
the frame in place by tightening the wing nuts
on the ,mounting bar clamps.

Step 1
Preparation: Loosen wing nuts on mounting
bar clamps enough to allow free movement
of mounting bars (Fig.B).
Step 2
Position and install Frame: Each of the three size
channels utilize one of the three positioning slots
located one each end of the mounting bar system
(Fig.F) and on the T-bar clips(Fig.G). Bend the
slotted tabs on end of one of the mounting bar
system to approximately 45°from original position.
Place this prepared bar end onto one of the
channels , then extend the other bar end to the
opposite channel, ensuring the slot chosen.
position the frame flush with the bottom of
the channel. Bend the remaining two slotted
tabs into position it to align with the other
channel. Drop both T-bar clips over the edge
of channel and tighten wing nut to secure.
Slide the frame along the mounting bars until
the aperture is in the desired position and
lock the frame in place by tightening the wing
nuts on the mounting bar clamps.
Wire in: Wire to supply leads. Wire neutral lead
supply lead to white wire, hot supply lead to
black wire, and bare cooper and/or green wire
must be connected to supply ground. Use wire
nuts (local hardware item). Place all electrical
connections in the j-box and close j-box door.
For luminaires with 0-10 V dimming, or digital
dimming: wire purple & gray leads to
Appropriate control wire. Additional orange
wire is for future expansion and should remain
capped off when not in use.
For square frames: adjustment of the position
can be accomplished by loosening the wing
nut clamp and rotating the inner square of the
frame. Re-tighten the wing nut clamps when
appropriately positioned.

For Color Kinetics iHue driver applications:
wire the data conductor from the Color
Kinetics Data Enabler to the purple conductor.
The data conductor from the Color Kinetics
Data Enabler provides a proprietary control
signal, that is required to operate the
luminaire. CAUTION –The data conductor is
NOT isolated.
Refer to the installation instructions provided
with the Color Kinectics Data Enabler for
conductor identification and system operation.
