Fixture Cable Length Adjustment (Diagram 2)
This low-voltage pendant cannot be lengthened in the field.
Due to the nature of this support system, fixtures requiring longer
support cables will have to be special ordered.
This fixture is supported by two separate cables connected to the
fixture at the finished cable holder (E).
1. Locate the nut (J) at the bottom of the cable holder. Take
the weight off the fixture and unscrew the nut (J).
2. Remove the horizontal cable (H) from the cable holder.
3. Pull the vertical cable (G) down to reveal the cable guide
(F). Pull enough cable through the guide to correct the
height. Cut the support cable off to the correct length.
4. Replace the horizontal cable (H). Pull the vertical cable (G)
back up into place.
5. Screw the cable holder nut (J) back in place.
