drywall up to 3/4" thick. The unit
mounts between 16" on center joists
using the provided mounting rails.

blade screw driver (Figure 2).
SECTION 2
New Construction

(not included) to the joists and slide housing into final position
(Figure 3).

CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT

CAUTION:
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE
MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES,
OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR
WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE
THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the
appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green
or bare copper), and one hot (black). Secure the electrical
wires to the housing with an approved electrical connector.
Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the
connection to the unit's receptacle.
2. From where you have access to inside the unit's junction
box, connect the White wire from the house to the White
wire from the unit. Connect the Hot (Black) wire from the
house to the Black wire from the unit. Connect the ground
wire from the house to the Green wire from the unit (Figure
5). Use approved methods for all connections.
NOTE: On model AK922 connect the Hot (Black) wire from the
house to both the black and red wires from the unit.
