GENERAL

This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting applications, and should not be used in areas of limited ventilation, or in high ambient temperature enclosures. For optimum performance, it should be installed and maintained according to the following

recommendations.

UNPACKING

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

INSTALLATION

This luminaire has several mounting arrangements - adjustable pole-top tenon mounting and two horizontal slipfitters. The nonadjustable version allows for mounting to 2-3/8” OD mounting arms. The adjustable version is equipped with two pipe clamps and four mounting bolts. The adjustable, tenon mounting adapter has two ranges of adjustments. See section A for specific mounting instruction.

If ordered with the adjustable tenon mounting it has been shipped as ordered in either the low or high position and exact angular setting can be accomplished in the field. Verify that the aiming indicator is on the appropriate side of the slip fitter adapter for the desired tilt (see Figure 1). For ease of installation, it is recommended that adjustment to tilt be done for before mounting. Four slipfitter bolts should be separated as far as possible in the slot and torque to 10-12 ft-lbs.

Caution: Correct tightening of bolts is important to

ensure proper function of system.

• Follow installation instructions

For adjustable tenon mounting insert 2-inch tenon into the bottom opening of slip fitter until it rest on center stop. Secure in place by tightening (3) 3/8” slip fitter mounting bolts. Torque bolts to 10-12 ft-lbs. Remove cover, connect customer wiring to luminaire wiring or optional terminal board (See Figure 2).

SLIPFITTER

If aiming indicator is not on the desired side, remove the bolts securing slip fitter to adapter, cover, terminal board, and slip fitter mounting bolts. Invert adapter to desired orientation. Adjust tilt to desired position and secure 3/8” bolts. Reattach the terminal board, and cover to the top of slip fitter, and the three mounting bolts in the bottom.

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.

For luminaires equipped with non-adjustable slipfitter, install luminaire on the 2-3/8” OD arm and tighten four set-screws (see Figure 3). Torque screws 10-12 ft-lbs.

For luminaires equipped with the adjustable slipfitter, install luminaire on the 2-3/8” OD arm. Arm should be in contact with “stop” located on the upper front surface of the slipfitter (see Figure 5). The edges of both pipe clamps must be fully seated on the arm.

Tighten rear bolts equally to bring leveling ball to center (if so equipped) or until top housing is level. Tighten front bolts equally to a torque of 5-12 foot-pounds. Tighten rear bolts to a torque of 10-20 foot-pounds. Confirm torque using a crossing pattern (see Figure 5)

B. WIRING

Make all electrical connections in accordance with all

applicable code requirements (National Electrical Code,

Canadian Electrical Code and applicable local Codes).

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

Supply wiring entering from pole to interior terminal board

must be routed through the wiring clips and maintain one-

half inch (1/2”) (113mm) minimum spacing to SnapDrive (see

Figure 6).

Connect ground lead to the green lead, green ground screw

on housing or terminal block provided.

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

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

IF MULTI-WATT

Tray mounted multi-watt ballasts are available in various combinations of wattage. See wiring instructions on wiring tag inside the luminaire.

The SnapDrive is equipped with a multi-volt ballast. Ballast has been wired to the voltage indicated on the nameplate. Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it to nameplate. If another voltage is desired, place the voltage selection jumper onto the appropriate voltage position as indicated on the wiring diagram. Optional features such as fusing, switched quartz safety lights and photocontrols are voltage specific. Do not change

jumper positions if fixture is equipped with these features.

This will damage or destroy these optional parts and will void the safety listing (UL, CUL, CSA, etc.) of the fixture.

The SnapDrive is equipped with a multi-watt ballast. Ballast and jumper have been configured as indicated on the nameplate. If another wattage is desired, place the wattage selection jumper onto the appropriate position as indicated on the wiring diagram.

Do not change the wattage jumper position if fixture is equipped with fusing. Fuses have been sized to the wattage

that was ordered. Changing wattage may damage the fuses and will void the safety listing (UL, CUL, CSA, etc.) of the fixture.

Replace power fuses only with fuses of the same type and ratings.

To complete installation refer to MOUNTING.

CAUTION

Risk of burn

• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before

The luminaire comes supplied with either an electrical tray or

a SnapDrive electrical module.

If unit is designated as multi-volt or multi-watt, follow specific instruction below. 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.

SUPPLY WIRE CLIP

IF SINGLE VOLTAGE:

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

WARNING

Risk of burn

• Do not touch operating luminaire

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

Lamp Tightness-Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp should be securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35 inch-pounds (3.95 N•m), which is best achieved by very firm tightening sufficient to fully

depress and load the center contact of the socket.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of 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 any mild, nonabrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly become dirty on the inside, wipe the reflector and clean the refractor in the above manner.

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 burn out. The lamp manufacturer can provide data showing how the lamp light output decreases with use.
