Tools and Hardware

Tools Required:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Power drill
• 1/2 in. drill bit

Hardware Included:

• 1x4 Fixture
• Mounting Plate (25.6 in. x 9.8 in. x 0.47 in.)
• 3/16 in. Bolts and Toggle Nuts
• Wire Nuts

Installation

1. Identifying the Wires: Identify the wiring: black (line voltage), white (neutral), and green (ground).
2. Attaching the Mounting Plate: Attach the mounting plate (BB) to the junction box using the provided #8-32 x 1 in. screws (EE). Align the plate in the desired direction.
3. Positioning the Toggle Bolts: Use the mounting plate as a guide to mark the position of the holes on the ceiling or wall.
4. Installing the Toggle Bolts: Remove the mounting plate. Drill four holes using a 1/2 in. drill bit. Insert the screw (CC) through the front of the mounting plate and reattach the toggle nut. Repeat for all four bolts.
5. Re-attaching the Mounting Plate: Feed the junction box wires through the center hole of the mounting plate. Re-attach the plate by inserting the toggle nuts into the drilled holes. Pull the screw downward to engage and tighten.
6. Connecting the Panel Light: Hook the support wire from the fixture onto the mounting bracket plate.
7. Connecting Electrical Wires: Connect the three wires from the fixture to the junction box wires (black to line, white to neutral, green to ground). Ensure no excess wires are left outside the junction box to avoid pinching.
8. Connecting the Swing Arms: Insert the swing arm’s keyhole slot into the mounting bracket plate’s hanging screw.
9. Attaching the Panel Light: Feed the junction box and fixture wires through the center hole. Raise the fixture in the direction of the arrow on the swing arm.
10. Securing the Panel Light: Once the fixture is flush to the ceiling, lock it by moving it in the opposite direction it was raised.
