a 2.5mm hex screwdriver, secure the clip in place.
Repeat this process for each fixing clip.

Run mains voltage cable to the hole and connect to
the luminaire using an electrical connector (not
supplied).

If for any reason the mounting ring cannot be fitted
securely, stop the installation and contact RCL.

WARNING

For projects that require DMX or DALI control, a
3-way connector will be present on the monopoint
head.
