ALZO Suspended Ceiling Support System User Guide
CAUTION: Typical suspended ceilings are not intended to support weight. A suspended
ceiling system will typically require modification in order to support the weight of a light
fixture in excess of 2 pounds. If you do not have construction skills, we strongly
recommend that you have a licensed contractor make the modifications required.
CAUTION: The installation of a "Safety Line" between the light fixture and the true ceiling
is required. A Safety Line is either a strong nylon cord or stranded steel wire that is
physically attached to the true ceiling structure and the light fixture.
THE KIT INCLUDES:
1 X-Clamp
1 Light Mount Stud
2 Wire Hooks
Length of safety line
Suspended ceiling metal frames are constructed of long un-broken runs of framing called main
runners and short pieces called connectors fitting between long runs to form the grid. It is best to
suspend a light fixture from the long main runners of framing and not the short connectors. If the
best location for the light is on a short connector than you will need to add a support wire physically
attached to the true ceiling at the location of the light.
STEP 1 - Locate the power outlet that the light will be
connected to and measure the distance along the ceiling
to the wall over the outlet and add the height from the
ceiling to the outlet. This will determine the length of
power cord plus extension cord required. When
installing multiple lights it may be desirable to connect
the power cords to a single extension cord with a socket
cluster as shown here.
STEP 2 - Locate the position(s) where the light(s) will be
installed and mark the metal frame with a pencil. Then
remove the tiles on both sides of the light location.
STEP 3 – Inspect the installation of the support wires
attached to the framing and if there is a support wire
within 12" of the light location mark than the addition of a
support wire is not required.
If the closest support wire is more that 12" from the light
location, than it is strongly recommended to add a new
support wire directly over the light location. Replicate
the method of connection of the support wire to the
ceiling framing or concrete.
