IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Read all the instructions before installation. Save instructions for later use.
• Turn off power at fuse or circuit breaker box before installation or before doing any maintenance work.
• Product must be grounded to avoid potential electric shock and any other potential hazards. Work on a sturdy, nonconductive ladder.
• Product must be mounted in locations and at heights and in a manner consistent with its intended use, and in compliance with National
Electrical Code and local codes. Use of accessory equipment is not recommended. For indoor use only.
• Installing contrary to instructions may cause unsafe conditions.
• Do not block light from the trim aperture, in whole or in part, as this may cause unsafe conditions. Do not install closer than 6" from any
curtain or similar combustible material.

1. Carefully remove packing inserts and slim inner carton containing the
trim frame.
2. Locate the Hex Key (tightens hex head screws that secure housing to
mounting frame, and head tilt locking screw (Fig. 1).
3. Assemble RL-KIT #3:
• Select “L” bracket with the longer base plate. Attach to long end of
mounting frame with J-Box by fitting keyhole slots in bracket over
the setscrews in mounting frame. Adjust to desired length, tighten
screws. Repeat with remaining bracket on opposite end of mounting frame.
• Mount the wing-style brackets to the “L” brackets with the open end
facing out (Fig. 2). Pass mounting stud through bracket slot,
secure with wing nut and washer provided.
• Narrow slots in the bracket accept flat hanger bars (ConTech
HB-24), C-shaped openings accept C-Channel hanger bars (ConTech
HBC-24). C-shaped openings may also be used for 1/2" conduit.
• Vertical slots in brackets allow a 3" overall height adjustment.
Desired housing position is for the mounting frame lip to be even
with the finished ceiling, firmly tighten the wing nut.
4. Use Hex Key to make final height adjustments of the housing within
the mounting frame (3/4” maximum height adjustment). DO NOT
PLACE ANY INSULATION MATERIAL WITHIN THREE INCHES OF
THE HOUSING.
5. The RDA6L housing is pre-wired. Power must only be brought to the
junction box on the housing. Maximum of 8 No. 12 AWG through
branch circuit conductor suitable for 75°C permitted in box.
WARNING: Power source must conform to requirements of the fixture
(see labels on fixture), all NEC and local electrical codes.
Before starting wire connections, disconnect power at
circuit breaker or fuse, turning power off at switch leg is not
sufficient to prevent electrical shock. Make junction box
connections per appropriate wiring diagram, based upon
dimming option being installed (Fig. 3) Close junction box
cover after wiring (ensure that all wires are within box
before closing).
