Safety Instructions for Luminaire
WARNING:
• Do not open or remove luminaire when supply is ON.
• Do not use luminaire on ungrounded systems. Failure to ground this luminaire can result in an electric shock, which may be fatal.
• Disconnect the luminaire from the supply circuit before opening to reduce the risk of ignition. Keep tightly closed when in operation.
• Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
• De-energize the unit ve (5) minutes before opening.
• Use two safety cables for installations experiencing high vibrations.
• Do not use on ungrounded 480-volt circuits.
• Supply wires to be rated for minimum 90°C.
CAUTION:
• Do not look directly at the LEDs when energized.
• Lens cleaning instructions: Wipe/clean from the outside only with a moist cloth. (Beware of electrostatic charges.)
• When installing, it is necessary that the reector, lens, and all certied conduit plugs be in place and tightened securely
to the housing.
NOTICE:
• Do not touch the LEDs; touching could leave oily deposits, causing hot spots and potential premature failure.
• The LED lens should be cleaned periodically from the outside only with a moist cloth to maintain lighting efciency.
• This luminaire is designed for and should be installed with wiring method required in accordance with the National Electrical Code®/
Canadian Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.
• This product must be installed in accordance with the applicable installation code by a person familiar with the construction and
operation of the product and hazards involved.
Applications/Intended Use
• Marine and wet locations; apply a corrosion-inhibiting grease, such as petroleum or soap thickened mineral oils, in 3 lines, spaced
approximately 120 degrees apart, perpendicular to the threads. Tighten all unused close-up plugs.
• Areas of low clearance, low ceiling heights, or where luminaire weights must be minimized.
• Non-hazardous locations where severe weather conditions, excessive moisture, dirt, dust, corrosive atmospheres, and high
ambient temperatures are encountered.
• Where exible cord is used, it should be approved for extra hard, wet location usage and shall have a separate ground conductor.
WARNING: The luminaire must be grounded as required by the National Electrical Code (Paragraph 410.21 and Article 250) or
Canadian Electrical Code (Rule 30-500 and Section 10). Verify that ground continuity has been established by using an Ohm meter or
other suitable testing equipment before energizing the luminaire. Failure to properly ground the luminaire will create an electric shock
hazard, which can cause serious injury or death.
Please use supply wires with temperature rating 90°C or above
Wiring the Rigmaster™ LED Luminaire
For Luminaire Series with Wire Nut Option
1. Make sure power is disconnected before wiring the luminaire.
2. A. Wiring with Cable: Strip the cable outer jacket as required. Strip the insulation of individual wire by approximately
10 mm (0.4 in)
B. Wiring with Individual Wires: Strip the insulation of individual wire by approximately 10 mm (0.4 in)
3. For standard Wiring: Connect electrical power supply leads to the 3 wire conductors coming out of wiring compartment with
the help of wire nuts supplied with luminaire: see Figure 6. After completing the wiring insert wire nuts in wiring compartment
through the Conduit / Cable entry hole. For Wiring diagram refer to Figures 7 and 8.
For through feed Wiring:
4. A. Open the luminaire wiring compartment by loosening the four captive screws. Allow the cover to swing open,
enabling access to the wiring compartment. See Figure 6. Pull the wires through the cable entry hole on the other
side of the box. Connect electrical power supply leads to the respective wires with the help of wire nuts supplied
with luminaire. After completing the wiring insert wire nuts in wiring compartment through the Conduit / Cable entry
hole. For Wiring diagram refer to Figures 7 and 8.
B. Check all connections for continuity and ground integrity and close the luminaire wiring compartment cover.
C. Tighten the four captive screws by applying a torque of 2.25 N.m (20 Lb.in) using the sequence shown as in
Figure 9. Make sure wires do not pinch between cover and wiring compartment when closing.
5. Apply TLNC4 grease on plugs (three supplied) in 3 lines, spaced approximately 120 degrees apart, perpendicular to the
threads. After applying TLNC4 grease close all unused conduit entries with plugs. Apply torque of 45 N.m (400 Lb.in.) for
3/4" NPT plug, 28 N.m (250 Lb.in.) for 1/2" NPT plug and 25 N.m (225 Lb. in.) for M20 plug.
6. For continuous row mounting below mentioned number of luminaires are connected.
Maximum 28 luminaires of 2 FT. connected in series
Maximum 15 luminaires of 4 FT. connected in series
7. Power can now be applied to the luminaire

For Luminaire Series with Fixed Screw Terminal Option
1. Make sure power is disconnected before wiring the luminaire.
2. Open the luminaire wiring compartment by loosening the four captive screws. Allow the cover to swing open, enabling
access to the wiring compartment. see gure 10.
3. A. Wiring with Cable
1. Strip the cable outer jacket as required.
2. Insert the cable through the conduit entry (with appropriate tting attached) to the luminaire wiring compartment.
B. Wiring with Individual Wires
1. Run conductors down through the conduit to the luminaire wiring compartment.
NOTE: See the product nameplate for supply wire requirements. The terminal block can accept 12-20 AWG wire. Use the appropriate
wire gauge based on the application.
4. Strip the individual wires by approximately 5 mm (0.2 in) and insert them into the proper terminal block connections. The
connection points are identied on the terminal block as: “L” = Line, “N” = Neutral, and “PE” = Ground. Tighten down the
terminal block screws onto the wire with torque of 0.75 N.m (6.5 Lb.in) See Figure 10.
5. Check all connections for continuity and ground integrity.
6. Once the terminal block is wired to incoming power, close the luminaire wiring compartment cover.
7. Tighten the four captive screws by applying a torque of 2.25 N.m (20 Lb.in) using the sequence shown as in Figure 9. Make
sure wires do not pinch between cover and wiring compartment when closing.
8. Apply TLNC4 grease on plugs (three supplied) in 3 lines, spaced approximately 120 degrees apart, perpendicular to the
threads. After applying TLNC4 grease close all unused conduit entries with plugs. Apply torque of 45 N.m (400 Lb.in.)
for 3/4" NPT plug, 28 N.m (250 Lb.in.) for 1/2" NPT plug and 25 N.m (225 Lb. in.) for M20 plug.
9. For continuous row mounting below mentioned number of luminaires are connected.
Maximum 28 luminaires of 2 FT. connected in series
