3. Remove ballast cannister.

4. Wire unit (see section B of instruction sheet for wiring
instructions)

5. Replace ballast cannister.

6. Install Lamp (see section C of instruction sheet for lamp
instructions)

7. Install refractor making sure that asymmetric refractors

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 Solutions.

B. WIRING

Make all electrical connections in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and any applicable
local code requirements.

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

IF SINGLE VOLTAGE:

All single voltage ballasts are pre-wired such that user
need only connect the supply conductors.

IF MULTIVOLT: (120/208/240/277 volts)

Connect the ballast lead with the insulated terminal to
the desired voltage terminal as indicated on the ballast
terminal nameplate.

IF MULTIWATT:

Multiwatt ballasts are available in various combinations
of wattage. See wiring instructions on wiring tag inside
the luminaire.

• Optional Features such as photocontrols are
voltage specific.

• When changing voltage on reconnectable units,
move only the lead with the insulated connector.

C. LAMPS

CAUTION

Risk of burn

• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before

handling

Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and restric­tions on lamp operation, particularly ballast type,
burning position, etc.

LAMP TIGHTNESS: The lamp should be securely inserted to
NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35 inch-pounds, which is best
achieved by very firmly tightening to insure application of
sufficient torque. Tightening must be sufficient to fully
depress and load center contact of socket.

NOTE: Use of lubricants on lamp base or sockets
can cause rapid lamp failure and voids fixture
warranty.

D. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

It will occasionally be necessary to clean the refractor to
maintain light levels. Frequency of cleaning will depend on
ambient dirt level and minimum light level which is accept­able to the user. The refractor should be washed in a
solution of warm water and mild, nonabrasive household
detergent, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry.

The light output of a luminaire is dependent on the age
of the lamp. In applications where the light level is critical, it
may be desirable to replace lamps before they burn out. The
lamp manufacturer can provide data showing how the lamp
light output decreases with use.
