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.

UNPACKING

The system consists of three components; ballast, optical reector (with and
without a heavy-duty optical cover) and glass lens. If luminaire is ordered with a
PSFA (See Figure 1A) prex glass lens is shipped in same carton as optical reector.
With a ULGC (See Figure 1B), PSGN (See Figure 1C), or PSGV (See Figure 1D), glass
lens will be in a third carton with glare control device in place. Component catalog
numbers for each of assemblies are shown in Table 1. Included in table are NEMA
beam descriptions for each reector catalog number. This is VERY IMPORTANT when
more than one light distribution is to be used.

Bill of lading lists component catalog numbers in addition to complete system
catalog number. Component catalog number is a prominent feature of label on
carton and is conspicuously displayed on outside of each component. Each optical
reector has label displaying a reector "ID" which consists of fth (5) and eighth (8)
alpha/numeric character from its component catalog number: xxxx"A"xx"N". This
can be seen from ground.

Check to see that you have received the correct material undamaged in transit.

INSTALLATION

• Follow installation instructions

A. CROSSARM SPACING:

These dimensions should preclude physical interference between oodlights
– when visors or other external accessories are used the vertical spacing will be
greater – contact factory.

HORIZONTAL spacing between oodlights 30"

VERTICAL spacing 36" without Top Visor

bolt (Tighten to 80-90 Ft. Lbs.). Angled trunnion has a slot for a 3/8-inch
bolt for anti-rotate feature. Hole pattern required for 180 degrees of rotational
freedom of angled trunnion is shown in gure 3. Note that clearance hole for
3/4-inch bolt needs to be at least 1.125-inches from edge of at mounting surface
(See gure 3).

Special mounting adapters are available for other applications.

CAUTION: Drain holes are provided for normal below-horizontal aiming. Drain
hole knockouts are provided for above-horizontal aiming. Two drain hole
knockouts are on back of casting and one is on back of socket housing. (See
Figure 2) Open these three holes if the unit is to be aimed above horizontal. It
is not necessary to close normal holes hidden below cover.

C. 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.

1. Remove cover (four screws).

NOTE: Cable strain relief and seal are provided by the casting V-notch, the rubber
bushing, and the cover.
9/16-inch O.D. three-conductor AWG #14 cable is recommended.

2. Insert cable through the rubber bushing and make electrical connections.

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 suciently 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.

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.

AIMING PREPARATION

It is very important to know NEMA light distribution for each reector if more than
one light distribution is to be used. Each light distribution is assigned an aiming point
on site or a horizontal and vertical aiming vector with respect to pole or structure
on which it is located. Each light distribution may be assigned a specic location on
each pole or structure.

Matrix in Table 1 lists component catalog number for each Powr•Spot optical in
terms of reector diameter, lamp rating, NEMA beam and reector “ID’’.

GLARE CONTROL LOUVERS & VISORS

Glare control louver and visor accessories (See Figures 1B, 1C, and 1D) are supplied
pre-assembled to a 20-inch optical glass lens, installed in same manner as a plain
glass lens. If accessories are ordered to retrot an existing 20-inch PSFB optical,
then shield insert must be installed as shown in Figure 4A. Insert may be secured
by bending two tabs through center hole and around back of reector neck. Insert
should be in place on all PSGC optical assemblies (See Table 1).

TARGET AIMING

The following procedure is accomplished after the poles have been erected with
crossarms (or cages) and luminaires assembled:

1. A grid is laid out on the eld as shown on the aiming diagram that is part of

GE supplied information. The origin (x=0, y=0) is positioned at home plate for

baseball/softball or at the center of the eld for football/soccer.

2. A target, such as a pie plate, marked with each xture's XY coordinates is placed

on the eld for all xtures that are indicated by the oodlight blocks in the xture

arrangement and aiming schedule.

3. A person at the oodlight then uses the built in sighting mechanism of the luminaire

to aim each oodlight at the proper target on the ground.

4. Rotate sight bar into position; see Figure 5A.

5. Loosen degree marker/repositioning stop and trunnion clamping bolts.

6. Align the target as shown on Figure 5B.

7. Tighten trunnion clamping bolts (80-90 Ft. Lbs.) Position against the reposition
stop and secure by tightening screw.

DEGREE AIMING

The degree markings on the oodlight mounting lack the necessary precision and
should NOT be used for angle determination. In order to achieve adequate results,
extreme care must used while performing steps described below. The following
procedure is accomplished on the ground before the pole is erected:

1. The pole and crossarms must be braced so that they are both LEVEL (parallel)

with the ground.

2. Each oodlight is attached to the crossarm(s) so that the glass lens is LEVEL

(parallel) with the ground.

3. An inclinometer is positioned on the glass lens perpendicular to the crossarm.

The down angle adjustment that is indicated in the square boxes of the xture

arrangement and aiming schedule is made. The bolts that attach the trunnion to

oodlight housing are tightened.

4. The reposition stop is then aligned against its stop and secured by tightening the

screw.

5. The bolts are then loosened and the oodlight is rotated back to its original

horizontal (level) position in preparation for Left or Right adjustment. Retighten

the bolts.

6. The inclinometer is positioned on the glass lens parallel to the crossarm. The

crossarm attachment bolts are loosened, the Left or Right angle adjustment is

made, and the bolt is retightened.

7. Finally, the trunnion/xture bolts are loosened and the oodlight is rotated to its

nal vertical position (against the reposition stop). Make sure that the stop is not

bent by rapid movement during rotation. Securely tighten all bolts and screws.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic cleaning on outside of glass lens will ensure operation at maximum optical
eciency. Glass and reector (if needed) should be cleaned with soap, glass cleaner
or detergent solutions, rinsed with cold water and wiped dry.

Light output is also dependent on age of lamp. In applications where light levels
are critical, it may be desirable to replace lamps before burn out. Lamp manufacturer
can provide data showing how lamp light output decreases with use.

LAMPS

CAUTION

Risk of burn

• Allow lamp/xture 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.

1. Check trunnion-mounted repositioning stop, ensuring that it is located against

stop and secured to trunnion.

2. Loosen trunnion clamp bolts, rotate luminaire to a convenient relamping position

and tighten bolts.

3. Open glass lens, unlatching top clip last .

4. Replace lamp and close glass lens, latching top rst and checking for proper

gasket sealing. Secure remaining clips.

5. Reposition luminaire and tighten clamp bolts (80-90 Ft. Lbs.) mechanism of the

luminaire to aim each oodlight at the proper target on the ground.

6. Rotate sight bar into position; see Figure 5A.

7. Loosen degree marker/repositioning stop and trunnion clamping bolts.

8. Align the target as shown on Figure 5B.

9. Tighten trunnion clamping bolts (80-90 Ft. Lbs.). Position degree marker against

stop and secure by tightening screw.
