Note:

For optimum performance, an electronic low voltage dimmer should be used. Installation of a low voltage dimmer requires a neutral lead in the switch box for proper wiring.

If employing a standard incandescent dimmer, low levels of noise (”buzzing”) may emanate from either the dimmer or transformer. This is usually caused by dimmer/transformer incompatibility and may be eliminated by simply replacing the dimmer.

1. Carefully unpack parts. Remove the Canopy (A) from the Mounting Plate by unscrewing the Retainer (B).

Fully remove the Retainer from the threaded nipple, then pull the canopy from the Mounting Plate.

IMPORTANT: GLASS SHADE INSTALLATION GUIDE to determine the glass support

parts that must be installed over the Pendant Cord Set, prior to Step 2.

2. To install the pendant cord, simply unscrew the Set Screw on the Strain Relief (C) to loosen.

Now push the cord up through the Retainer, Canopy and then Strain Relief until reaching the

desired length. Shorten cord to approx. 6” above the Strain Relief, per instructions on the Glass

Installation Guide. Tighten the Set Screw onto cord until the cord is held in place.

CAUTION: Overtightening the set screw could pierce cord and prevent pendant from operating.

3. Connect the cord leads to the blue or red transformer wires, and secure with wirenuts (D).

If the cord length above the Mounting Plate is more than 6”, then you will need to shorten the cord.

4. Install the provided Mounting Screws into the Outlet Box, leaving 1/4” of threading as shown.

Attach the house ground wire to the bare copper lead on the Mounting Plate and secure with

provided wirenut (E). Connect the electrical leads from the fixture transformer to the house

supply wires, black to black, white to white, and secure with wirenuts provided (F).

5. Align the circular openings of the keyhole slots (G) of the Mounting Plate with the Mounting screws.

Push the Mounting Plate up over the Outlet Box until tight to ceiling, then rotate the Mounting Plate

Counter-clockwise and secure with Mounting Screws.

6. Position canopy over the threaded nipple and secure with Retainer.

7. For assembly of the glass shade, please refer to the GLASS SHADE INSTALLATION GUIDE

that is included with the Pendant Cord Set.

8. Restore power.

All electrical connections and the installation of this fixture must be in agreement with local codes, ordinances or the NEC (National Electric Code) or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code).

Do not connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment grounding.

PENDANT CORD INSTALLATION GUIDE

Model U Series -98 (Low Voltage Pendant Set 12V)

UKIT.98, Rev.3 8-11

6695 Taylor Rd. Blacklick, OH 43004 www.besalighting.com

SHORTENING LENGTH OF PENDANT CORD

Carefully measure the desired length of cord and cut off the excess.

It is important to leave an additional 6” that will be inside the canopy for connection to your transformer. Using the 10 AWG setting, strip off 1-1/2” of outer teflon jacket with a pair of wire strippers.

Gently push the silver metal braiding downward on the cord, causing the braiding to create a bubble shape as shown.

Using a pointed object, such as a pencil, expand an opening in the silver braiding until the inner conductor is clearly exposed.

Once the inner conductor is exposed, it can now be separated from the braiding. Slide the pointed object between the inner conductor and the braiding, as shown. Gently wedge the inner conductor apart from the braiding. Now twist the braiding tightly into a conductor.

Strip 1/2” insulation from the inner conductor. The pendant cord is now ready for installation (Refer to the Canopy Instructions).

After connection to the transformer, it is recommended that any exposed portion of the braided conductor be wrapped with electrical tape.

IMPORTANT: KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR RECORDS

1. Begin by removing the check ring from the Socket Assembly. Next, slide the cord through the opening

in the top of the Glass Support Block and then slide the Glass Support Block over the Socket Assembly.

A small portion of the lamp socket should extend past the end of the Glass Support Block.

2. The Glass Shade (size may vary) will be positioned as shown below. Align Glass Shade so that the

Threaded Posts easily fit through the side holes in the Glass Shade and align with the holes in the

Glass Support Block and then thread the Threaded Posts into the Glass Support Block holes.

For lamping, plug the MR16 Lamp provided. For relamping never exceed 50 watts, as greater wattages could cause overheating, adversely affecting the life of the luminaire.

While performing the remaining instruction steps, care must be taken to keep the

Glass Shade and Socket Assembly protected, otherwise breakage may occur.

1. Carefully remove parts from package.

2. Connect the house ground wire to the Bare Copper Lead and secure with wirenut provided (A).

Connect the electrical leads from the Transformer to the house supply wires, black to black and

white to white, and secure with wirenuts provided (B).

3. Align the Openings (C) on the Canopy with the Threaded Holes (D) on the Supply Box.

Push the Canopy over the Supply Box until the Canopy is flush to the ceiling, then secure with the

Threaded Screws (E). It is important that the Supply Box is deep enough to allow for the Transformer.

6695 Taylor Rd. Blacklick, OH 43004 www.besalighting.com

This low voltage Pendant Cord Assembly has been designed to be used with Besa Low Voltage Quick

Connect Adapters. Operate with a low voltage transformer (12V) and never wire directly to 120 volts.

1. Making a clean cut, shorten the cord to the desired length.

2. Carefully strip off 1-3/4” of the outer jacket using

the Stripping Tool provided.

It is important not to damage the

inner silver braiding. Practice this

step on a scrap section of cord first.

1-3/4”

3. Slide the Brass Collar over the braiding.

Make sure the Brass Collar does not

damage the braiding to ensure

a good connection.

Gently Tighten

Using Pliers

4. Remove the exposed braiding by pulling away from

the center conductor, then cutting off excess.

Leave 1/16” of braided material or less.

5. Strip off 1/8” of insulation from the Center Conductor.

The exposed stranded wire of the Center Conductor

must be tightly wound before proceeding.

1/8”

6. Feed the wire until it reaches the top set screw position. Confirm

by viewing the Center Conductor through the Viewing Hole.

7. The Brass Collar should align with the bottom of the

Quick Connect Jack, if not then trim the Center Conductor.

8. Tighten the top set screw first, then the lower. Do not overtighten

the set screws and make sure the set screws avoid the seam

in the Brass Collar. The pendant can now be installed onto

Quick Connect Adapter.
