Luminaire Installation With the supplied universal bracket the product is compatible with the following USG type grids: DX, DXI, DXT, DXF, DXM. Reference diagram (right) to determine which hole to use for a given grid. Safety screw holes. One is needed, more are optional. Joiner Pin 20-22mm 1 2 For the luminaires that will be in the middle of the run, insert two pins into one end only. Slide pins into the bottom screw grooves, leaving approximately 20-22mm exposed.

Pin 6 Plug together wires between luminaires. 7 Carefully align pins of one luminaire with grooves of next luminiare, then push them completely together, taking care not to pinch wires. Note: A rubber mallet may be required to complete this step. Hammer the luminaires only on the top edge, not the bottom. One safety screw per bracket is mandatory, additional screws are optional 8 Join mounting brackets together with M4 hex head screw and nut. Also tighten wingnuts.
