Installation Instructions
NHIOICD
Iolite New Construction Housing
Fixtures are listed for insulated ceilings—Type IC, airtight—AT and for suspended ceilings —
Type S. To insure safe and reliable operations, make sure the fixture corresponds to the proper
ceiling installation. Read the following material carefully before beginning installation.
In general these instructions apply to “round” housings. Drawings of “round” housings have
been used to illustrate installation procedures.
Before attempting installation of any recessed lighting fixture check your local electrical code.
This code sets the wiring standards for your locality and should be carefully studied before
starting work.
Insulated CeIlIngs - tYPe IC
Insulated Ceiling
The insulated ceiling or IC approved recessed
fixture is one that can be installed in direct
contact with insulation.
susPended CeIlIngs - tYPe s
Fixture can be installed in suspended ceilings that
are not permanent or insulated.
aIrtIght InstallatIon
Nora housings certified under ASTM E283 are sup-
plied with a pre-installed gasket or supplied with a
ready-to-install self adhesive gasket.
Step 1.
Lay gasket flat and peel protective paper backing from gasket to expose
adhesive side.
Step 2.
Apply supplied gasket to ceiling lip and wrap gasket around inside of housing
to form seal of the ceiling opening or apply caulk per state/local code. When
properly installed, Nora housings provide compliance with restricted air-flow
regulations.
FIre/eleCtrICal haZard: Install aCCordIng to natIonal eleCtrIC
Code and anY aPPlICaBle MunICIPal Code reQuIreMents.
This equipment is intended to be installed only by qualified personnel. The installation must be
made in accordance with the current edition to the National Electric Code and all applicable
state and local building codes. The final installation must be approved by the appropriate
qualified electrical/building inspector(s). Improper installation may result in a fire or electrical
hazard. Be sure the electrical power to the circuit has been disconnected before installing this
electrical system.
Feu / rIsQue ÉleCtrIQue: Installer selon au Code ÉleCtrIQue
natIonal et les exIgenCes de Code MunICIPaux aPPlICaBles.
Cet équipement est destiné à être installé par un personnel qualifié. L’installation doit être
faite conformément à l’édition actuelle du Code national de l’électricité et tous les codes d’état
et de construction locaux applicables. L’installation finale doit être approuvée par l’inspecteur
en électricité / bâtiment qualifié approprié (s). Une mauvaise installation peut provoquer un
incendie ou un risque électrique. Assurez-vous que l’alimentation électrique du circuit a été
coupée avant l’installation de ce système électrique.
IMPortant- rIsK oF FIre:
Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated 60°C (thermal cutoffs in fixtures
operate at 90 ° C); consult a qualified electrician prior to installation. If supply wires are located
within three inches of fixture, use wire rated for at least 90°C.
IMPortant-rIsQue d’InCendIe:
La plupart des logements construits avant 1985 ont le fil d’alimentation nominale de 60°C
(disjoncteurs thermiques dans les appareils fonctionnent à 90°C); consultez un électricien
qualifié avant l’installation. Si les fils d’alimentation sont situés à moins de trois pouces de
appareil, l’utilisation de fil résister au moins à 90°C.
to Install housIng:
standard “JoIst” CeIlIngs:
1. Use bar hangers to attach fixture between ceiling
joists. Each end of the bar hanger is equipped with a
nail-in barbed tab. Additional hardware such as screws
or nails may be used if extra support is necessary.
2. For steel studs, use steel piercing screws in place of
nails or barbed tabs.
3. Remove shipping screw from underneath side of plaster frame.
t-Bar CeIlIngs:
1. If mounting to a T-Bar type ceiling, mount fixture onto
grid by placing notches on the bottom of each end of
the bar hanger over the grid.
2. Tie fixture to grid with structural wire going through
both the circular knockout on the end of the bar hanger
and nearest accompanying knockout on the ceiling grid.
note:
It is imperative to tie down the fixture to prevent the
fixture from being pushed above the ceiling during trim installation.
drIver rePlaCeMent:
1. Turn off power.
2. Pull the trim down from the opening.
3. Disconnect the orange conenctor.
4. The driver can be removed by sliding it out from the snap-in bracket.
5. Remove transformer from mounting bracket and replace with new transformer.
6. Re-install transformer/mounting bracket
7. Reconnect power wires.
8. Reconnect fixture into place.
9. Turn on fixture and make sure all connections are secure.
eleCtrICal ConneCtIons:
Refer to wiring diagram on page 2.
note on groundIng:
Many structures carry grounding via steel conduit. If this is the case,
if there is no grounding wire, simply leave green wire on fixture unattached. Fixture will be
grounded through attachment of conduit to junction box. However, if Romex or PVC conduit
is used, ground wire will always be present, and must be connected to green wire on fixture
junction box to avoid electrical shock hazard.
CuttIng a hole:
standard “JoIst” CeIlIngs:
1. Locate the center of proposed opening on your tile or ceiling and mark it.
2. Use a compass to draw a circle in diameter around the center point.
3. Cut along this circular line.
