Cync Wafer Downlight Installation

Follow the steps outlined in the Cync application or in the Installation Guide that is included with your Cync Wafer Downlight.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL:

• Power off your circuit breaker and ensure that all equipment is fully powered off.
• Note that this fixture must be supplied with 120VAC 60Hz.

Installation and Wiring

1. With the knockout removed from the ceiling, open the junction box cover and route the wires through the strain relief (not included).
    
   • Black to black.
   • White to white.
   • Green to green or bare copper wire.
   
   Secure the wires with the provided wire nuts, and then close the junction box.
    
2. Place the junction box in the ceiling through the knockout hole and connect the light to the junction box using the connector. Screw the connector together to complete the connection.
    
3. Hold the spring clips against the fixture and gently guide it into the ceiling until the clips snap into place.
    
4. The Wafer Downlight is now ready to be setup in your Cync app.

Troubleshooting

The wire colors on the Wafer Downlight do not match what I have in my ceiling.

If the wire colors are not matching the ones on your Wafer Downlight or you are missing wires, you may have an older model of home. Contact your local electrician for wiring assistance.

Recessed Can Downlight Installation

The Recessed Downlight is designed to install in most 6 in and 5 in recessed housing. Use either the torsion spring or flip clip to install your Cync Recessed Can Downlight. Instructions for both mounting methods are described below.

Housing with Torsion Bracket

1. Remove existing trim and bulb from the lamp you wish to replace with a Cync Recessed Can Downlight.
   

• Cync Recessed Can Downlights are compatible with medium base sockets and connectors. Confirm your existing housing has one of these options.
  
  • Medium (E26) Base Sockets: Screw the E26 base of the downlight into the existing socket. Then insert the connector into the E26 base.

• Use the manufacturer's torsion springs for installation. These are pre-installed on the Cync Recessed Can Downlight.
