Installation To Wood Joist Finished Ceilings, Exposed Wood Joists,
or Wood Beam Ceilings
Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes to a minimum
1
depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach ceiling plate (J)
to ceiling with two #14 x 2.5" wood screws (Q)
using 3/8" (10 mm) socket wrench as shown in
figure 1.1.
NOTE: For optional cord management, install
two spacers (K) between ceiling plate (J) and
ceiling as shown in figure 1.2.
Skip to step 2 for flush mount installation.
Skip to step 3 for extension column installation.
WARNING
• Tighten wood screws so that ceiling plate is firmly
attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can
damage the screws, greatly reducing their holding
power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into
the center of the studs. The use of an "edge to edge"
stud finder is highly recommended.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that the
supporting surface will safely support the combined
load of all attached hardware and components.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to drill holes into the joist CENTER!
