The Alumina series wall mounting system consists of two main
components: the wall-side assembly (A) and the the fixture-side
assembly (B). Both items come shipped with and attached to the
fixure to help ensure proper counts and clarification during assembly
EDGE-MOUNT COMPONENTS:
If installing an edge-mount
assembly,use the wall-mounting
installation instructions.

Reattach the wall-side bracket to the plate with the
provided hardware.
With wall-side brackets installed, pull the power feed wiring

The fixture-side bracket engages with a hook-and-pivoting
motion. With the fixture raised and in the (A) position, feed the
wiring into the fixture housing and lower/rotate the mating
pieces into position (B).

The extended lenth of the fixture-side bracket allows for as
much as 1” of alignment left or right. Once the fixture is in the
desired position, lock it in to place with the provided hardware
on the top of the mounting bracket.

Install the junction box cross bar (C) in the powerfeed side.
The suspension cable assembly threads to the 1/4-20 stud in
the cross bar. Be sure that the included SJ cord is laced through
the 5” canopy cover (D) and secured by the cord grip (E). Follow
governing electricical code for making your connections in the
junction box. Number of conductors in the cable will vary with
fixture specification.

The Alumina series cable mounting system consists of two main components: the powerfeed assembly (A) and the the non-powerfeed
assembly (B). Both items come shipped with and attached to the
fixure to help ensure proper counts and clarification during assembly.
In preparation of installation, ensure that crossbars, canopy covers,
cablegrippers and cord grips are all accounted for. The cable mounting
system us to be used with a standard j-box on the powerfeed side
and 1/4-20 thread-all on the non-powerfeed side. Be sure to follow all
governing code related to structural integrity and use of materials.
Thread the non-powerfeed side cable onto the 1/4-20 threaded
rod secured to structure. Be sure that the 2” canopy cover is in
place before attaching.
With fixture now mounted, you can slowly lower it into place.
Fine adjustments to height and leveling can be made at the
gripper assemblies located on the upper surface of the fixure.

Wiring & Lamping
Slide the fixtures together along the alignment tabs to engage
the housing profile of the ajoining units. Use the included
gasket strips along the exposed faces for a true fit and to
prevent light leak. Tighten set screws in alignment tabs.
Attach the housings (A & B) by using the suplied hardware in
the header brackets to draw the pieces together tightly. Set
screws in the alignment tabs aid this as well. Repeat steps 1–3
for continuous run/pattern installation, including corners.
 PRIOR TO WIRING, FIXURE(S) MUST BE MOUNTED/HUNG AND ADJOINED IN THE FINAL INSTALLED POSITION.
