Dimming Control (If Applicable):

• No external connections for Dimming are required

when the GE Dimming PE Control and GE Dimming PE
Receptacle is used.

• All dimming control connections will be made

between the Dimming PE and Luminaire through the
included PE Receptacle.

• Refer to instructions included with GE Dimming PE

Control regarding appropriate settings for dimming
control.

• NOTE: Verify that supply voltage is correct by
comparing it to nameplate inside door or on carton.

Photoelectric Control:

• (If option present)—Photoelectric control receptacle
should be oriented before control is installed.

• Loosen the two holding screws and rotate receptacle
until “North” is directed as near as possible to true
North.

• Verify that the grommet under the PE receptacle is
seated and that there are no gaps that will allow
water to enter the fixture from under the PE
receptacle.

• Tighten holding screws and install control.

Electrical Connection:

• Connect Luminaire wire leads to supply wire.

• Connections are to be made in interior of pole.

• Replace pole cap. A wiring diagram is provided on a
label inside luminaire for reference.

• For units without leads, connections may be
made to terminal board inside fixture.

• Note that care should be exercised not to pinch leads
between door and housing when closing the door.

External Dimming Control (If Applicable):

• Gray Lead = 0VDC (-)

• Violet Lead = Up To 10VDC (+)

MAINTENANCE / CLEANING

5

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Make certain power is off before

attempting any maintenance.

• To maintain high efficiency of the lens, occasional

cleaning of the outer lens surface may be needed,
with frequency dependent on local conditions.

• Use a mild soap or detergent, which is essentially

neutral pH (pH approximately 6 to 8), nonabrasive,
and which contains no chlorinated or aromatic
hydrocarbons.

• Wash thoroughly, using a soft cloth.

• Rinse with clean, cold water and wipe dry.

STORAGE

6

• Prior to installation, units should NOT be stored
outside in corrugated boxes (cardboard boxes) alone.

• Until installation, all units should be placed in a
covered dry storage area. The storage area should
not exceed -40°C (-40°F) to 50°C (122°F).

- This can be preferably in a roofed area or with a
tarp that is secured in such a way to keep water
off of the corrugated boxes (cardboard boxes).

These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in
connection with installation, operation or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not
covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to GE Lighting.
