FV SERIES FLUORESCENT FIXTURES

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FV SERIES FLUORESCENT FIXTURES

IMPORTANT: this fi xture is designed for permanent installation in Class I, Div. 2, Groups A, B, C & D, Class I, Zone 2, Group

IIC, Class II, Group F & G, Marine Outside Type (Salt Water), Type 4X and Wet locations in accordance with the National Electric
Code and all applicable local codes. Marine Outside (Salt Water) Rating is not applicable for fi xtures that include fusing.

DO NOT OPEN OR REMOVE FIXTURE WHILE IT IS ENERGIZED.
DO NOT USE FIXTURE ON UNGROUNDED CIRCUITS. Failure to ground this fi xture can result in electrical shock which

may be fatal.
DO NOT use in areas of limited ventilation or in high ambient areas (above 55°C for FVR 240 models or 40°C for all other models).

• Lens should be cleaned periodically for maximum light output.

SURFACE MOUNT - FVSM.

1. Attach the mounting brackets to the back of the housing using

the hardware supplied with fi xture.

2. Mount the fi xture, with mounting brackets installed, directly to
the ceiling or to any structural support member that can handle
the weight of the fi xture in accordance with local building code
and all applicable local codes.

3. Once the fi xture is securely mounted in place, open the fi xture
lens by rotating actuator counter-clockwise to release the fi xture
lens from the locking mechanism. Refer to wiring page 2.

4. Hinge the refl ector to one side by pulling down on the refl ector
on the side where the two red tabs call be seen that hold the
refl ector in position. Refer to wiring page 2.

CHAIN MOUNT - FVCM

1. Attach the chain mounting brackets by threading them into

the holes on the back of the fi xture. Tighten against the back of
the fi xture housing but, make sure not to over-tighten as dam-
age to the fi xture housing may occur.

2. Attach chain (not supplied) to chain mounting brackets.

3. Attach chain to structural support member in area to be

installed.

4. Once the fi xture is securely mounted in place, open the fi xture
lens by rotating the actuator counter-clockwise to release the
fi xture lens from the locking mechanism.

5. Hinge the refl ector to one side by pulling down on the refl ector
on the side where the two red tabs call be seen that hold the
refl ector in position. Refer to wiring page 2.

45 ° FIXED WALL MOUNT FVWFM

1. Attach the 45° wall mounting brackets to the back of the hous-

ing using hardware supplied as shown in Figure 1, NOTE: Use
screws supplied with fi xture.

2. Mount the fi xture with mounting brackets installed directly to
the wall or to any structural support member that can handle
the weight of the fi xture in accordance with all applicable local
codes.

3. Once the fi xture is securely mounted in place, open the fi xture
lens by rotating the actuator counter-clockwise to release the
fi xture lens from the locking mechanism.

4. Hinge the refl ector to one side by pulling down on the refl ector
on the side where the two red tabs call be seen that hold the
refl ector in position, Refer to wiring page 2.

ADJUSTABLE WALL MOUNT - FVWAM

1. Attach the adjustable wall mounting brackets to the back of the

housing, Using hardware supplied, as shown in Figure 2.

2. Mount the fi xture, with mounting brackets installed, directly to
the wall or to any structural support member that can handle the
weight of the fi xture in accordance with local building code and
all applicable local codes.

3. Once the fi xture is securely mounted in place, open the fi xture
lens by rotating the actuator counter-clockwise to release the
fi xture lens from the locking mechanism.

4. Hinge the refl ector to one side by pulling down on the refl ec-
tor on the side where the two red tabs can be seen that hold the
refl ector in position. Refer to wiring.

WIRING AND RELAMPING

TO OPEN FIXTURE

1. Once the fi xture is securely mounted in place, open the fi x-

ture lens by rotating the actuator counter-clockwise to release
the fi xture lens from the locking mechanism.

2. Hinge the refl ector to one side by pulling down on the refl ec-
tor on the side where the two red tabs can be seen that hold the
refl ector in position. (See illustration below and at right ).

WIRING OF FIXTURE

1. Pull supply wires through conduit system and into the lighting

fi xture. Use supply wire rated at least 75° C.

2. Ground wire, if present should be secured inside the cup
washer with the ground screw located on the hub plate. Refer
to Figure 4.

3. Connect the black and white leads from the conduit to proper
ballast leads.

4. If fi xture contains an optional terminal block, connect the
black, white and ground leads from the conduit to the proper
terminals on the terminal block. Likewise, similar connections are
to be made for fi xtures that contain optional fusing.

5. Close the refl ector by pushing it back up into place until it snaps
over the posts on the lampholder bracket locking it in place.

6. Install lamps, checking both lamp type and wattage for
proper lamp. Make sure to secure the opposite ends of the
lamps in place in the lamp clips (FVP only) attached to the
fixture reflector, as shown in figure 6.

7. Secure the lens by swinging it back up into place until the lens
gasket touches the fi xture lousing. Then rotate the actuator clock-
wise to secure lens in the closed position.

8. Power can now be applied to the fi xture. Note that the fi xture
lamps will only light when the fi xture lens is secured in the
"closed" position.

then reassemble and hang fi xture.

2. Hinge refl ector to one side by
pressing refl ector release tabs
with a small screw driver
to release refl ector .
