ConTech Lighting RA6LSA User Manual

For Con-Tech Lighting 6" LED StopAire® Recessed Downlight: RA6LSA Series

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

• Housing can NOT be installed in direct contact with insulation. Do not install
insulation within 3" of fixture sides or wiring compartment, nor above fixture in
such a manner to entrap heat. (Figure 1)

• Install hanger bars to fixture; ensure end tab is facing outward. (Figure 2)

• Extend bar hangers to fit between joists and position fixture temporarily by
hammering nail on bars into the joists. Hangers should be level with bottom of
the joists.

• Use T-Bar slot in the bottom bars for suspended (T-Bar) ceilings, bending the
tabs to hold T-Bar tightly.

• Make all necessary electrical connections (See “Electrical Connection”).

• When using 0-10V dimming drivers, Class I wiring (300V wiring inside conduit)
is required.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:

• Housing junction box contains two wires: a black (hot) and a white (neutral).
Wires must be spliced to the current feed wires. ALWAYS SPLICE WHITE TO

WHITE AND BLACK TO BLACK.

• Insert wires carefully into junction box. Connect the green ground wire to the
green grounding pigtail in junction box (Figure 3). Replace cover.

• For Romex or 3-wire BX, flexible metal cable installations attach supply ground
lead (green) to bare copper ground lead or ground screw in wiring box
mounted on plaster frame. Local electrical codes should be consulted to
determine acceptable installation: conduit, Romex or flexible metal cable.

• For 700 Series Dimming, the 12D1 driver option can be dimmed with many
standard 120V incandescent and electronic low voltage dimmers.

TRIM AND LED MODULE INSTALLATION:

• Remove protective cover from LED Module.

• For decorative trim assemblies with separate trim ring, place ring on reflector
prior to assembly.

• Attach reflector to LED Module with (2) screws (Figure 4). For trim assemblies
with lenses and/or two piece reflectors; complete the trim assembly by
positioning the lens and lower reflector in place.

• Make the LED Module electrical connection with the connectors (Figure 5).

• Carefully route excess wire out of the way; align tab in conduit base to recess
in heat-sink (Figure 5A) and snap into place making sure the tabs are engaged
with the recessed grooves. (Figure 5B)

•

Push LED Module with assembled reflector through the hole in plaster frame until
flush with ceiling. Spring clip tension can be adjusted by bending spring clips.

REPLACEMENT OF LED DRIVER:

NOTE: LED Driver should be replaced by a qualified electrician. Turn off power

at fuse or circuit breaker box before replacing the LED Driver.

• Pull and drop the trim and LED Module from the frame.

• Remove the conduit base from the LED Module by squeezing the sides with
the tabs and pull apart (Figure 5). Disconnect the electrical connection.

• Remove LED Driver/Bracket from the housing by unscrewing the (2) wing nuts
(Figure 6).

• Pull the LED Driver/Bracket assembly out of the housing and disconnect it
from the line voltage input wiring and remove the driver assembly.

•

Reinstall Factory Approved LED Driver Assembly by reversing above procedure.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
