Application:
The Mercmaster LED Low Prole adaptors are designed for use where Crouse-Hinds Champ Luminaire mounting hoods are installed
and where Appleton Electric Mercmaster LED Low Prole Luminaires are needed. The MMAD-CHVS and MMAD-CHVA adaptors
make for a simple conversion to the Appleton Mercmaster LED Low Prole Luminaire family without opening the conduit system. The
MMAD-CHVS and MMAD-CHVA mounting hood adaptors will accept the following Appleton Electric Company Luminaires:
• MLLED Series 2, 3 or 4.
The MMAD-CHVS adaptor is compatible with the following Crouse-Hinds Champs Series mounting hoods from the Champ Series
product lineup:
NOTE: The MMAD-CHVS and MMAD-CHVA Appleton mounting adaptors are not to be used with Crouse-Hinds Champs Series
mounting hoods provided with fuses and fuseholders.
Installation:
1. Make certain that the Crouse-Hinds Champ Series luminaire has been de-energized before any changes are made to the system.
2. Remove the Crouse-Hinds Champ Series luminaire from its mounting hood according to the Crouse-Hinds removal instructions
provided with the original xture assembly. Questions concerning the removal of the Crouse-Hinds products should be directed
towards Crouse-Hinds customer service. Inspect the Crouse-Hinds mounting hood sealing surfaces for any damage.
3. Ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean and free of debris. Wipe with a damp cloth and then dry fully before installation.
4. Refer to Figure 1 showing Crouse-Hinds Champ Series hoods. Install the Appleton MMAD-CHVS or MMAD-CHVA mounting
adaptor onto the Crouse-Hinds Champ Series hood by capturing the hood’s hinge and bringing the Appleton mounting adaptor
carefully up to the sealing surface of the hood. Make sure to allow the xture wiring to safely come through the adaptor hood large
hole when the luminaire housing sets against. Make sure the wiring includes a ground wire. Tighten down the adaptor hood screw
securely to lock in place.

Maintenance:
1. Perform visual, electrical and mechanical inspections on a regular basis. The environment and frequency of use should
determine this. However, it is recommended that checks be made at least once per year. We recommend an Electrical Preventive
Maintenance Program as described in the National Fire Protection Association Bulletin NFPA No. 70B: Recommended Practice for
Electrical Equipment Maintenance (www.nfpa.org).
2. The luminaire and adaptor should be cleaned periodically to ensure continued performance. To clean, follow the instruction sheet
provided with the Appleton Mercmaster LED Low Prole luminaire. The adaptor may be cleaned using a clean, damp cloth. If this
is not sufcient, use a mild soap or a liquid cleaner such as Collinite NCF or DUCO #7. Do not use an abrasive, strong alkaline or
acid cleaner. Damage may result. Consult Crouse-Hinds installation instructions for maintenance and cleaning of the Crouse-Hinds
Champ Series mounting hoods.
3. Visually check for undue heating evidenced by discoloration of wires or other components, damaged parts, or leakage evidenced
by water or corrosion in the interior. Contact Appleton Group for replacement part information.
4. Electrically check to make sure that all connections are clean and tight.
5. Mechanically check that all parts are properly assembled.
6. Do not loosen or remove mounting adaptor swing bolt after installation. Joint between the Appleton mounting adaptor and
Crouse-Hinds Champ Series mounting hood shall be considered permanent after installation.
