Fixture Question

[Alwayslearningelec]

I can't understand what they are showing/mean by the side mount leveling lug. Anyone?

Looks like a piece of metal that sits on the T-bar to keep the fixture from falling out of the ceiling.

leveling lug issue should be not big problem, I think when you are in the site, when you see the physical stuff, you will understand what does the manual mean. If not, send me email.

The side mounting leveling lug is a part of the lighting fixture's installation system designed to assist with leveling the fixture. Here’s a breakdown based on the diagram:

1. Purpose of the Leveling Lug:
   • The lug provides a point of adjustment to ensure the fixture is mounted level, even if the mounting surface or structure (e.g., purlin or ceiling grid) is uneven or not perfectly aligned.
   • This feature allows for fine-tuning the angle of the fixture during installation.
2. Location in the Diagram:
   • The lug is attached to the side of the fixture. The diagram shows two lugs per side, installed by the electrician during the setup.
   • The lug is shown extending outward, likely engaging with a mounting surface or providing a support point for leveling adjustments.
3. Installation Process:
   • Electricians use the leveling lugs by tightening or loosening them to adjust the height or angle of the fixture. This ensures the fixture is securely mounted and positioned properly within the tile opening.
4. Key Notes from Diagram:
   • The text mentions the leveling lugs are provided by the fixture manufacturer, meaning they come pre-integrated or as part of the fixture kit.
   • It suggests these lugs play a critical role in keeping the fixture aligned horizontally with the ceiling tiles or other architectural elements.

If you're still unclear about the lug's function or appearance, it might help to refer to the fixture manufacturer's instructions or specifications. They may include detailed illustrations or step-by-step guidance for installation.
