Electrical

1. Starting from right end of row (facing wall), snap in place electrical unit, starting with the shortest unit and progressing to the longest unit.

2. Each unit has polarized plug-in connector. After wire connections, secure units together with connector plate that slips over lampholders.
Screws are provided.

3. Power feed is at end of row. Clip o plug to make connections. Install service cover and electrical end assembly.

4. Determine length for snap-on wireway cover for adjustable unit. Cut wireway cover, plug in wiring connection and snap adjustable unit
into place.

5. Install clip to hold Adjustable Unit in place.

6. Install lamps.

7. Install lamp shield.

8. Where required, snap in reectors. Reectors overlap at adjustable unit.

Diusers

1. Install plastic shielding bae or parabolic louver. Cut last piece to t. Note: On parabolic louver, it may be necessary to cut the last
two (2) louvers to maintain an even louver spacing appearance.

2. Plastic or bae lays in place: parabolic louver cantilevers o lip trim rail.

3. Important: Cut nal plastic piece after sucient lamp or building warm-up to allow for plastic expansion.

Special Notes for Patterns with Corners

1. Housings: When installing patterns with corners, install corner housings rst after the installation of all wall rails (and wall plates). Then
proceed with each straight run per above.

2. Electrical: (a) AL row lengths are pre-calculated to provide ample light in corners. Be sure electrical units extend fully into corners before
eld cutting. (b) For corners requiring a continuous circuit around corner, a pre-cut ex conduit connector kit is provided

3. Diusers: Plastic for corners has pre-cut 45 angles. Install angled corner pieces rst and then straight-cut nal remaining piece to t.

HARD CEILING APPLICATIONS

The AL system is designed primarily for suspended acoustical ceilings. Fixture trim will not support drywall. Additional drywall support must be
provided adjacent to xture by ceiling installer.

The sketch to the right shows a method of installing the AL in a drywall ceiling. Note the ceiling must be installed after the AL housings. Also,
the access holes to the plenum through the xture must be cut by the contractor.
