INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING
This luminaire has been properly packed so that no parts
should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to
confirm.
INSTALLATION
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.
Do not remove insulated connectors from wires not
needed for required voltage connection.
Pigtail leads are provided for supply connection. System
neutral should be connected to the white lead. Green lead
is equipment ground.
tag attached to the black lead with the insulated
terminal. Be careful to move only the one lead having
the insulated terminal; then proceed with the installation.
SINGLE VOLTAGE UNITS: Are completely wired so
that the user needs to connect only the supply conductors
to the primary leads and the fixture ground.
MULTIVOLT UNITS:
a) Internally Reconnectable Multi-Volts: If no line voltage is
specified on the nameplate, or if a voltage other than the
one specified is required, refer to Figure 1 and open the
luminaire and gain access to the ballast. Make the
desired voltage selection as outlined in the instruction
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) Externally Reconnectable Multi-Volts: (120 or 277
volts) Follow the connection diagram on the wiring
label attached to the luminaire for proper wiring.
MOUNTING FINAL ASSEMBLY
CAUTION
Unit will fall if not installed properly
• Follow installation instructions
SPM Mounting: Figure 2
1. Attach the mounting bracket and nut plate to pole
with 2 of the 3/8-inch #16 bolts furnished.
2. Attach the luminaire to the mounting bracket with two
3/8-inch #16 hex head bolts. Insert the luminaire power
leads into the pole.
3. Install the decorative cover from the top and secure with
the enclosed screw.
4. Connect the proper luminaire leads to the supply leads
in the pole. Refer to the instructions in the WIRING
section.
PHOTOELECTRIC CONTROL
The photoelectric control receptacle (if present) should
be oriented before the control is installed. Loosen the two
screws and rotate the receptacle until “NORTH” is directed
to true North. Retighten screws and install control.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
Risk of burn
• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside
of the refractor to maintain the light level. Frequency of
cleaning will depend on the ambient dirt level and the
minimum light level which is acceptable to the user. The
lens door should be washed in a solution of warm water and
any mild, non-abrasive household detergent, rinsed with
clean water and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly
become dirty on the inside, wipe the reflector and clean the
lens door in the above manner, and replace any damaged
gasket.

SYM Mounting: Figure 3
1. Insert the pigtail leads into one leg of the yoke mount as
you assemble the yoke mount to the luminaire. Tighten
the two screws at each coupling to secure the luminaire.
2. Remove the wiring access cover and mount the luminaire on the pole. Secure and level the luminaire by
adjusting the four setscrews on the hub.
3. Follow the appropriate guide lines in the WIRING
section of these instructions. Replace the wiring access
cover.
LAMP INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT
The light output of a luminaire is also dependent on the
age of the lamp. In applications where the light level is
critical it may be desirable to replace lamps before they
reach end of life. The lamp manufacturer can provide data
showing how the lamp light output decreases with use.
Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and restric-
tions on lamp operation, particularly ballast type,
burning position, etc.
The lamp should be tightened to a light firmness
sufficient to depress the center socket contact.
