To install the housing, see Figure 6 on page 9 and do the following:
1. Remove either conduit knockout (side or top) in the housing.
2. Hold the housing up near the housing pass-through of the mount or cutout.
3. Connect a steel safety cable, if required by local codes.

b. Snip off the nipple that opens access to the safety cable clip.
c. Feed your safety cable through the exposed hole.
d. Secure one end of the safety cable into the safety clip surrounding the exposed hole inside the housing.
e. Secure the other end of the safety cable to the building superstructure.

5. Attach the housing to the mount or ceiling by screwing the housing tabs open and down.
DO NOT run any cables next to the heaters. Doing so could damage the dome or cause an electrical fire.
For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the
weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to
local codes. See Table 1, Minimum load requirements of dome configurations
