• Connection to an electrical backbox is
accomplished by channeling wire through the
ball of the base (See Figure 2) and making
appropriate connections. The base has holes
punched for a double-gang square box, but by
punching out additional knockout holes, the base
can be mounted to a single-gang or octagon box.
The horns may be rotated or moved up and down to
obtain the desired position by loosening the knob at
the bottom of the unit, approximately 1 turn. Make
required adjustments and re-tighten knob.
