Putting up your fixture

Note: This fixture is intended to be conduit connected to a properly installed
and properly grounded metal weatherproof junction box (not provided). All
conduit connectors, conduit, and junction boxes (not provided) should be
cULus Listed suitable for wet location use.

Step 1: Attach the two piece mounting brackets (I) to the extension arm (N) by

interlocking the bracket and securing with the 1/4-20 carriage bolt (L)
and 1/4-20 hex nut (M) provided. The mounting bracket should be
secure leaving approximately one inch of the extension arm protruding
out of the bottom of the bracket.

Note: The mounting bracket attaches to the end of the extension arm
that has notches cut into it.

Step 2: Place the extension arm assembly onto the desired mounting surface

and mark the four hole locations required for mounting. Remove the
arm assembly and drill the four marked locations for ease of mounting.

Step 3: Mount the extension arm assembly using the hex head lag screws (H)

provided. Tighten these screws securely before proceeding.

Step 4: Place the arm of the fixture onto the end of

the extension arm (O) and route the three
wires through the extension arm. Two hex
head bolts on the underside of the fixture
housing should be backed out enough to
slide the extension arm into the housing.
Slide access cover (G) between extension
arm and arm bracket. Be certain the
extension arm is fully seated into the arm
of the fixture. Tighten both arm screws to
hold the fixture in place.

Note: All three wires should be extending from the
bottom of the extension arm at this point.

Step 5: Fasten one piece lens assembly (B) to fixture housing (A) using (2)

lens assembly screws (E) and (2) washers (F).

Wiring your fixture

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Disconnect power at fuse or
circuit breaker before installing or servicing.

Step 1: Install the first conduit connector (not provided) into the conduit

connection cap (M).

Step 2: Feed supply wires from conduit through the connector and make wire

connections with wires extending from extension arm.

a. Attach the ground supply wire to the ground wire coming from

the fixture. Secure with wire nut (not provided).

b. Connect black fixture wire to black supply wire (hot).

Secure with wire nut (not provided).

c. Connect white fixture wire to white supply wire (neutral).

Secure with wire nut (not provided).

d. Be careful to connect the wires correctly. Make sure no bare

strands of wire extend from the wire nut or other approve wire
connectors (not provided). After the connections are made,
the connections should be placed into the extension arm.

Step 3: Install the connection cap into the open end of the extension arm and

secure with (2) small screws (K). The screws will go through the notches
at the bottom of the extension arm.

Step 4: Install conduit to the conduit connector located in the connection cap

just installed on the extension arm in Step 3.

Step 5: Connect the other end of the conduit to a second conduit connector

and attach to the junction box. Make wiring connections inside of the
junction box.

Installing the bulb

Step 1: Screw the bulb securely into socket.
Step 2: Back the bulb out one or two turns, then screw bulb back to insure

proper position in socket.

Installing the light sensor

Step 1: Make sure the screw in the center of receptacle (on top of fixture) is tight.
Step 2: Match up the largest prong on the light sensor (D) to the largest slot in

the receptacle.

Step 3: Push sensor down into receptacle and twist clockwise 1/4 of a turn to

lock in place.

Step 4: Turn on the main power at the main fuse/breaker box.
Note: When power is initially turned on, the light may come on, even during

daylight. However, the light will turn off after two or three minutes and will only
come on at dusk thereafter. If artificial light sources (such as car headlights)
come in contact with the photo control, it may activate the photo control and
turn off the fixture. If this occurs, the fixture will have to cool down for
approximately 5 minutes before it will come on again.
