GEH-6012B

• This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting service,
and should not be used in areas of limited ventilation,
or in high ambient temperatures.

• Best results will be obtained if installed and maintained
according to the following recommendations.

• Luminaire is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C
(-40°C to +45°C for ERS4 347-480V fixtures) and to be
mounted horizontally to a vertical pole with LEDs
facing down, as shown.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This Class [A] RFLD complies with the Canadian standard ICES-003.
Ce DEFR de la classe [ A ] est conforme à la NMB-003 du Canada.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNING

Risk of injury. Do not rely on door latch to hold power

module door during installation/maintenance. The door latch
is provided only to aid in the fastening of the captive screw.

INSTALLATION

4

Installation to Mounting Arm:

Installation to Mounting Arm for Luminaire with
4 Slip fitter Bolts and One Bottom Door:

• Remove Power door by loosening captive screw,
releasing the door latch and opening door to a
vertical position.

• Disconnect plug which connects top housing wiring
with ballast and plug which connects to LED optical
assembly.

• Now grasp door securely in both hands and open
door further until it comes free from hinges in top
housing.

• This occurs at approximately 35 degrees from vertical
on pole side of hinge. In this position hinge pins will
easily slide upward out of their hinge cradles in top
housing.

• If necessary, adjust 4 pipe clamp bolts such that
opening is slightly larger than mounting pipe diameter.

• The luminaire may be adjusted up or down with

respect to pipe.

• A pad is provided on top of housing for convenient

application of hand level.

• To mount, insert pipe into back of the luminaire until it

hits the leveling steps or stop that sticks down from
the top of housing.

• Hold luminaire approximately level and snug up bolts

(4-5 foot-pounds).

• If more upward tilt of front of luminaire is needed, first
loosen front two bolts slightly, lift luminaire and
re-snug the back two.

• If downward tilt is needed, reverse procedure by
loosening back two bolts first.

• Once proper level has been achieved, tighten each
bolt to 17-19 foot-pounds (23.05-25.76 N-m),
alternating front to back along diagonal of bracket as
shown in Figure 1.

IEC Units:

• Terminals are readily accessible on terminal board

and will accept service leads ranging in size from
AWG No. 16 through No. 6.

• Service leads (See fixture labeling for supply wire

temperature rating) should extend through mounting
bracket approximately 7 inches.

• Attach service leads to terminal board as shown on

luminaire nameplate.

• See table below for screw torques (See Table 1).

• Dimming Control Connections (See Table 2).

• A wiring diagram is provided on a label in luminaire.

WARNING

Under no conditions should bolts be torqued to level greater
than

20 ft-lbs. (27.17 N-m)

CAUTION

Risk of injury. LED light source achieves full intensity

immediately upon being powered on. Do not look directly
at LED light source while energized.

WIRING

5

• NOTE: Make all electrical connections in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and any applicable
local code requirements including grounding.

TABLE 2. Dimming Control Connections

O VDC (-) Gray Lead
Up to 10 VDC (+) Violet Lead

IEC Units:

• Power supply cable and dimming control cable (if

necessary) must be provided by customer.

• Power supply cable (each conductor: phase, neutral

and ground) should be maximum of 12AWG (2.5mm2)
and minimum of 16 AWG (1.5mm2) solid or
with an overall cable diameter within the range of 7-12mm.

• Dimming control cable (0 to 10 VDC) (each conductor:

positive and negative) should be 18 AWG (1.0mm2)
solid or stranded with an overall cable diameter
within the range of 5-10mm.

Terminal Board Connections:

Terminal Board Position Supply Type
L1 High Line
G Ground
N/L2 Low Line/Neutral

stranded

• NOTE: Verify that supply voltage is correct by
comparing it to nameplate.

PHOTOELECTRIC CONTROL

6

• When used, photoelectric (PE) receptacle should be

oriented so that the word “North” is directed toward
true north.

• This is done by seating a PE control into receptacle,
lifting upward on PE control (which will lift PE
receptacle also), and rotating them clockwise until
word “North” is directed toward true north.

• If door is to be assembled to top housing while lying

on its back, extreme care should be taken to ensure
that hinge pin is properly engaged in the cradle by

lifting up rear of door. Otherwise, breakage may occur.

• Then lower PE control and receptacle to firmly seat
them into position. No tools are required to make this
adjustment.

• Alternatively, PE receptacle can be oriented
before PE control is installed.

• This is done by lifting up on rim of the PE receptacle
and rotating it until the word “North” is directed
toward true north.

• Lower PE receptacle to firmly seat it in this position.
Then install PE control.

FINAL ASSEMBLY POWER

7

MODULE DOOR

• To replace door, hold it at an angle of approximately
35 degrees from vertical and toward pole side of
hinge.

• Carefully insert hinge pin into hinge and allow door to
hang free.

• Note that door is mechanically interlocked with top
housing in all positions except in the vicinity of
removal location.

MAINTENANCE / CLEANING

8

• 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

9

• 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).

• All units: The doors are designed to be assembled to
top housing while in upright position with gravity
holding hinge pin properly in the cradle.

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.
