AVERTISSEMENT; COUPER L’ALIMENTATION
AVANT L’INSTALLATION OU L’ENTRETIEN.

GENERAL

This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting service,
and should not be used in areas of limited ventilation, or in
high ambient temperature enclosures. Best results will be
obtained if installed and maintained according to the
following recommendations.

GEH-5751B

INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING

This luminaire has been properly packed so that no part
should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to
confirm.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Unit will fall if not installed properly

• Follow installation instructions

The floodlight is provided with a trunnion bracket which
can be mounted directly on flat surfaces, or building fronts.
Mounting adaptors are available for installation on poles,
cross-arms, pipes, etc. The trunnion bracket has a clearance
hole for a 3/4-inch bolt used for attachment of such
mounting. The 1/2-inch holes on either side of the
3/4-inch hole permit additional anchoring, if required.
Tighten side trunnion bolts to 18 - 22 foot pounds.

AIMING

Slightly loosen bolts “A” (two on trunnion), tilt
luminaire to desired position and retighten bolts.

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 unit is designated as multivolt or multiwatt,
follow specific instruction.

Three-conductor No. 14 cable (with 90°C minimum
insulation) is recommended for making electrical
connections to the P-154. After opening door loosen the 2
screws holding the reflector. Remove reflector thus expos­ing the terminal board. Loosen screw in pressure plate,
insert cable through grommet and retighten screw. (Notice
that grommet fits cable of approximately 9/16-inch
diameter.) Grommet and pressure plate form a weather
proof seal and strain relief. To maintain this seal, the screw
in pressure plate must be retightened whenever the seal is
disturbed. After connections are made to the terminal
board, be sure insulating shield is properly placed.

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.

Connect ground lead to the green lead, green
ground screw on housing or terminal block
provided.

Do not remove insulated connectors from wires not
needed for required voltage connection.

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

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.

LAMPS

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

Lamp Tightness – Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp should
be securely inserted to the 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 the
center contact of the socket.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

Risk of burn

• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before

handling

WARNING

Risk of burn

• Do not touch operating luminaire

The ALZAK† finish on the reflector and the door glass
may be cleaned with any suitable nonabrasive glass
cleaning solution, soap or detergent and rinsed with clean
water.
