Ceiling Mount Pre-Installation Guidelines
SPECIAL NOTE: Installation and repair of this equipment should be performed by
qualified persons only. NUVO does not warranty any damage occurring as a result of
improper installation. It is recommended that this installation manual be completely
reviewed prior to installation.
Before installation, check to insure the following minimum conditions are provided:
Medical Illumination strongly recommends that the ceiling structure be designed to the weights
and moments for the worst case (double ceiling). Designing for the heaviest model with the
highest load/torque will ensure adequate support for all models.
A structural mount that does not meet these minimum conditions can cause
serious injury and/or property damage.
A sloped or vaulted ceiling will require a level mounting surface be constructed
that meets the above listed requirements.
The ceiling structure must be strong enough to support the weight and rigid enough to
constrain rotation to less than 0.1° at the ceiling casting.
The equipment may be mounted directly over a 4-0 junction box. Input power supply lines
should be wired in accordance with all applicable building codes.
The supply circuit line must be as follows:
100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, single phase, three wire, capable of supplying 200 Watts.
The equipment is not deemed compatible with any sort of electrical dimming device. Use
line voltage only.
The power supply circuit line must be routed and wired to the wire harness in compliance
with all applicable building codes.
Failure to provide a circuit meeting these minimum standards or complying with
local building codes can cause a shock hazard.
Check the length of the ceiling rod supplied to make sure that it is the proper length to install
and operate the light without interference or over reach.
Means of Isolation
The Means of Isolation disconnects (Isolates) the light from the source of power. This isolation
makes it safe to work on the light. In the case of a ceiling mounted light, the means of isolation
is the circuit breaker that supplies the power to the circuit. In the case of the Wall, Floor or
Floor UPS, the means of isolation is the cord. Unplugging the cord isolates the light from
power.

Ceiling Structure Construction and Mounting
The illustrations below are suggested mounting schemes per 2001 California Building Code
– Section 1632A: Anchorage and Seismic. For any other mounting scheme, please consult
a structural engineer and/or professional contractor for the best solution for your situation.
Installation and repair of this equipment should be performed by qualified persons only.
Medical Illumination does not warranty any damage occurring as a result of improper
installation.
Figure 3: Recommended Ceiling Structure Construction
The Ceiling Mount system will experience various levels of dynamic off center moment during
regular use. Therefore, it is crucial that the ceiling structure be strong enough to uphold the
weight of the system and support the positioning arms and light head without deflection. The
owner and/or owner’s contractor has the final responsibility for the strength and rigidity of the
ceiling structure. An inadequate ceiling structure may result in serious injury, unintended drift,
and/or equipment damage.
Because the ceiling structure is the owner’s responsibility, the design and construction
recommendation shown below covers only one of the many possible alternatives that can be
used. Medical Illumination highly recommends that the owner consult a structural engineer
prior to designing and installing the ceiling structure.

Arm Cable Termination
Section 3
`
Figure 5: Arm Cable Termination
(Note: Ceiling Mount Assembly with a Single with Power Supply)
The DC Power cable is attached to the DC Power Terminal on Mounting Plate Assembly so
that it can be tested as a complete system prior to packaging. To shorten the cable length,
route the DC Wire Harness through the Wire Pass-Thru and then out of the center hub. Then
run the cable through the Down Tube and position the Down Tube over the center hub aligning
the Wire Pass-Thru recesses. Position the connector at 2” past the end of the Down Tube and
remove the slack to measure the excess cable length to be removed.
Disconnect the cable from the DC Power Terminal and cut the excess length from the cable.
Then strip and reconnect the three wires back to the DC Power Terminal observing the
polarity: First connect the Green w/Yellow Stripe wire to the Mains Earth Ground terminal,
then the Black wire to the Terminal labeled “Black” and then the Red wire to the Terminal
labeled “Red (+24VDC)”. For a dual light configuration, connect the second DC wire harness to
the other power supply in the same manner.
For ease of installation, install the Down Tube on the Ceiling Mount using the three (3) of the
¼-20 x½” Flat Socket Head and tightening sequentially. Ensure the Wire Harness
Connector(s) exceed the open end of the Down Tube and that the wires are hanging
unencumbered.
Protective Earth Ground Warning, to avoid risk of electrical shock, this equipment
must be only connected to supply mains with protective earth.

Section 4: Operating Instructions
Ensure that the Light is properly installed before attempting to operate the light
and arm mechanism.
On/Off: To turn the light on or off depress the on/off intensity button at the end of the
sterilizable handle. The light starts at the highest intensity. To dim the light intensity, depress
the dimming button on the sterilizable handle. To dim further depress the button again. The
dimming levels vary per model. See the following table for available dimming levels. The light
head will automatically reset to full mode (highest intensity) if the dimming button is depressed
with the light on its lowest setting. To turn off the light, depress and hold the button so the light
goes into Endo Mode (VistOR PRO LED models only), then depress the button one more time.
On/Off & Dimming Levels
Endo Mode
The MI-1000 also has an Endo (Endoscopy) Mode integrated into the lights’ dimming
capabilities. The output in this mode produces low level lighting for use during endoscopic
procedures. To put the VistOR PRO LED into the Endo Mode, at any dimming level, press
and hold the dimming button for 3 seconds.
Power Failures
If the light experiences a power interruption for any reason, the light is programmed to return to
the dimming level that was applied before the power failure. This feature is intended to
maintain the same lighting intensity when the power is restored and is applicable to the
intensity level, the Endo Mode and the off position.

Fuse Replacement
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the power supply disconnected to the light before replacing the
fuse(s).
Lights that are connected directly to supply mains require 1 fuse per light head
Lights that are plugged into wall outlets require 2 fuses per light head
Locate the fuse holder locations:
Use only NUVO fuses. See the following table to identify the correct fuse for your
model. All fuses must be 250VAC, Slow-Blow. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
LED Maintenance
If one or more LED(s) are off and/or generate noticeably dim light output, contact
our customer service department at (818) 838-3025. The LED’s are not readily
replaceable by end users and should only be serviced by Medical Illumination, NUVO or

Section 5
Adjusting the Articulating Arm
Ensure that the Arm/Light Head is in its highest vertical position before
attempting to adjust the arm tension. Do not over-tighten.
Over time the spring in the Articulating Arm can lose some of its energy. When this happens,
the light head fails to hold its vertical position. When this occurs, use the Allen Wrench
supplied in the Hardware Kit to adjust the spring tension. Move the arm to its highest vertical
position and insert the Allen Wrench through the Spring Adjustment Access Hole and slightly
rotate the Allen wrench until it fits into the hex socket on the adjustment screw.
Pushing up on the Spring Arm during adjustment will reduce the force applied to the
adjustment screw and make it easier to perform the adjustment.
Turning the wrench counter-clockwise increases the tension and clockwise decreases the
tension. Adjust so that the light head maintains its vertical position. Do not move the arm with
the Allen wrench in the Spring Adjustment Access Hole. Remove the Allen wrench before
moving the vertical arm position.
