For ConTech Lighting Pendant Mount Cylinder Fixtures: CI6FC and CI8FC
PENDANT MOUNT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prior to installation, ensure a 4" round or square (with
round-to-square junction box cover plate) junction box is
properly mounted to the ceiling structure.
2. Loosen the (2) Philips screws that hold the canopy mounting
base to the round canopy. Attach the mounting plate to the
junction box or junction box cover.
3. Determine the length of flexible cable required. Standard
fixture is provided with 10' of cable.
4. To adjust the length, loosen the two strain relief screws on the
canopy and remove cable from canopy cover.
5. If cutting is required: Leave only 6-8" for wiring available. Mark
the cable where it needs to be cut. Carefully score the outer
jacket around the diameter of the cable about 6-8" below the
desired length. Score the outer jacket lengthwise for the 6-8"
section. Use proper rotary cable slitters (such as Ideal
#45-128). Remove the outer jacket. Using a wire stripper,
remove the wire insulation from the individual conductors.
6. Refeed the cable through the canopy cover. There should not
be any excess flexible cord in the canopy compartment. Per
UL1598 and NEC300.14, “at least 150mm(6") of free
conductors and less than 8", measure from the point in the box
where it emerges from its raceway or cable sheath shall be left
at each outlet, junction and switch point.
7. Make wire connections with supply from ceiling. (Black to
Black, White to White, Green to Green)
8. Mount canopy cover to canopy mounting base.
9. Insert appropriate rated wattage lamp.
