Luminaires Installed Without Conduit
(Standard mounting)
Type SO (AWG 14-3) cable (normally supplied by
user) is recommended for electrical connections to this
luminaire.
1. Unlatch, open door and remove door assembly.
Remove reflector and shield.
2. Remove (4) knockouts in housing back. Using these
holes install housing to mounting surface with (4)
5/16 inch bolts, nuts and lock washers(*). Seal
around these bolts with appropriate sealing
compound(*).

Loosen the cable strain relief clamp and insert the
supply cable through the gland from the back 7 to 9
inches. Connect cable leads to the terminal board,
retract cable to a good wire dress and tighten the
strain relief clamp. Refer to the WIRING section of
this instruction. Replace the wiring shield and
reflector and install lamp. Close and latch the lens
door.
3a. Pipe Mounted (See Figure 1)
Mount the trunnion slipfitter on the support pipe
bracket and tighten all six set screws. Mount the

luminaire. Drill a 5/16-inch diameter hole through
the pipe bracket using the through hole in the
slipfitter as a guide. Install the anti-rotation bolt
and nut with the head of the bolt on the top side
of the slipfitter. The power supply cable may now
be fed through the slipfitter and pipe bracket.
3b Bracket Mounted Luminaires. (See Figure 2)
Mount the luminaire on the support structure with
5/16-inch minimum bolts, nuts and lockwashers that
are supplied by the user. Position, aim and tighten
bolts at the degree markers.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Risk of burn
• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
3/4 INCH CONDUIT MOUNTED LUMINAIRES
(See Figure 3)
1. Mount the luminaire on the support structure with
5/16-inch minimum bolts, nuts and lockwashers that
are supplied by the user.
2. Unlatch and open the lens door. Remove the
reflector that is held by three screws. Remove the
wiring shield that is held by two screws.
3. Install conduit and supply wiring. Dress the wires
to the terminal board so they will not touch the
reflector when reinstalled. Refer to the WIRING
section of this instruction. Replace the wiringshield.
Replace the reflector. Install the lamp. Close and
latch the lens door.
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.
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.
WARNING
Risk of burn
• Do not touch operating luminaire
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
gaskets.
LAMP INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT
Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and restric-
tions on lamp operation, particularly ballast type,
burning position, etc.
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.
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.
Lamp Tightness – Medium Base Lamp: The lamp
should be tightened to a light firmness sufficient to
depress the center contact.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Photoelectric Control:
The photoelectric control receptacle (if present)
should be oriented before the control is installed.
Loosen the two screws and rotate the receptacle to
the desired direction. Retighten the screws and install
control.
