TIGER ™ ROADWAY LUMINAIRE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The totally enclosed and weather-resistant luminaire designated
_______ (identify) shall be a GE TIGER™ ROADWAY LIGHTING luminaire,
ordering number _______ (specify TGSM (with SnapDrive™) TCSM/
TGTM (tray mounted ballast), plus ordering number logic from catalog)
designed, to operate one _______ (specify 250, 400) watt high pressure
sodium or _______ (specify 250, 400) watt metal halide mogul base
lamp from a nominal _______ (specify 120, 208, 240, 277, 347 or 480)
volt , 60 Hertz power source. The luminaire shall include an integral
prewired SnapDrive™ ballast assembly or removable power tray (mag­netic Regulator) and optical assembly that shall produce a _______
(specify narrow, medium, forward throw, staggered, opposite wide,
extra wide) distribution. The luminaire shall have UL/cUL1598 Listed
SUITABLE FOR WET LOCATIONS with SnapDrive™. The luminaire shall be
equipped with an activated charcoal breath-way for clean ventilation
and long term maintained foot-candle levels. Ballast , housing, optical,
and luminaire assembly shall all be built to GE Lighting Systems speci­fications.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION

The luminaire shall include an astethically pleasing heavy duty die-cast
aluminum alloy housing with thermoset electrocoat primer applied in­side and out. Finish paint shall be TGIC polyester powder paint applied
100% to the outside surface up to a thickness of .008". The luminaire
shall have a thermal and impact resistant glass lens that is sealed to
the door frame with continuous wet applied bead of silicone rubber
gasketing. The luminaire access door shall be sealed to the back hous­ing with continuous molded silicone foam gasket . Entire housing and
optical sealed to IP65. Entry to the luminaire shall be accomplished via
hand operated latches (tool-less entry). The door frame shall be hinged
to the luminaire via hinging screws and can be loosened for quick
and simple removal when desired. No electricals shall be mounted on
the door. All threaded hardware shall be corrosion resistant chromate
washed, zinc-nickel alloy plated carbon steel. The luminaire shall have
provision for a factory installed photoelectric control receptacle.

The luminaire shall be equipped with a 4-bolt slipfitter for mounting
(specify H4 mounting in catalog logic) to horizontal mast arms. It shall
be made of cast aluminum with a thermoset electrocoat primer with
finish paint of TGIC polyester powder paint applied to 100% of the
exterior surface to match luminaire. The slipfitter shall be mounted in­ternally to the housing with four 3/8" bolts. It shall have adjustment of
± 5 degrees for leveling and shall have two galvanized clamps with four
3/8" bolts to secure luminaire to a standard 2" mast arm (2-3/8"OD). All
hardware shall be zinc-nickel coated for corrosion protection. OR

The luminaire shall be supplied with an adjustable tenon mounting
slipfitter (specify 1K-low tilt or 2K-high tilt in catalog logic). Slipfitter
shall consist of three, cast aluminum components- mounting adaptor,
tenon slipfitter and terminal board cover. Components shall be made
of cast aluminum with a thermoset electrocoat primer with finish coat
of TGIC polyester powder paint applied to 100% of the exterior surface
to match luminaire. Assembly shall be internally attached to luminaire
housing via two 3/8" hex-head bolts. Tenon slipfitter shall accept
standard 2" tenon (2-3/8" OD) and be capable of field adjustment of
the aiming angles from 0° to 45° There shall be a dead-back terminal
board with tunnel type connectors suitable for #6 conductor mounted
on top of the slipfitter. All hardware shall be zinc-nickel coated for cor­rosion protection. OR

The luminaire shall be equipped with a non-adjustable external slipfit­ter (specify ES in catalog logic) for mounting to horizontal mast arms.
Slipfitter shall be made of schedule 40 steel pipe and secure 2" mast
arm via four 3/8" set screws. It shall be attached internally via two
3/8" hex head bolts. It shall have a thermoset electrocoat primer with
matching finish coat of TGIC polyester powder paint applied to 100%
of the exterior surface to match luminaire. All hardware shall be zinc­nickel coated for corrosion protection.

The luminaires shall be certified that samples have been tested for vi­bration resistance at 2 g' s for 100,000 cycles in each of the three major

axes, at or below the first harmonic, followed by a 4 g' s test for a pe­riod of 5,000 cycles in the axis with the most displacement without any
major mechanical failures. Integral mounting features to add shielding.

BALLAST OPERATION

TGSM

Ballast , ignitor, capacitor and printed circuit board wiring shall be
installed onto a modular SnapDrive™ Electrical System that snaps
in and out of the luminaire without tools. Voltage changes, wattage
changes (250 or 400 watt only), the addition of optional EZAdd™ quartz
switching device and optional EZAdd™ 400 watt bi-level switching
shall be accomplished with the use of quick-change jumpers that shall
be located on the ballast printed circuit board (Contact factory for
application availability). SnapDrive™ Electrical Systems shall be inter­changeable into other luminaires in the Criterion™ family of the same
wattage size. The luminaire shall contain a standard Auto-regulator
(CWA) ballast . Optional factory installed fusing shall be available for
all discrete voltages and wattages. The ballast shall be compliant with
ANSI specifications and lamp manufacturers specifications at the time
of manufacture. The ballast shall reliably start and operate the lamp in
ambient temperatures down to -20 degrees F for metal halide and -40
degrees F for high pressure sodium. Pulse start metal halide ballasts

shall be available from 250 - 400 watts.
TGTM
The luminaire shall contain a standard _______ (specify) type ballast

in full compliance with lamp-ballast specifications available to the fix­ture manufacturer from the lamp manufacturers at the time of fixture
manufacture.

The ballast shall reliably start and operate the lamp in ambient tem­peratures down to -20°F for mercury and metal halide or

-40°F for HPS.
The luminaire and ballast shall be from the same manufacturer.
The ballast shall be prewired to the lamp socket and dead-back termi-

nal board, requiring connection of power supply leads to the terminal
board only. A plug-in ignitor shall be available and shall be removable
without the use of tools. Shutoff device protected ignitor option avail­able.

The ballast components including ballast , dead-back terminal board
and ignitor shall be mounted on an easily removable power tray. The
tray shall be held in place by three key-hole slot screws.

OPTICAL ASSEMBLY

The optical assembly shall be either precision hydroformed aluminum
reflector that has a chemically bonded lightweight non-breakable

ALGLAS
cally brightened, anodized and sealed segmented reflector.

Flat lens enclosures shall be 0.125" thick, heat and impact resistant
tempered soda lime glass. Shallow and prismatic enclosures shall be
