Mounting Plate Installations:
Install fixture onto sign structure and securely fasten using the
mounting plate/bracket.
Mounting Plate installation is for uplight only. Please call
manufacturer regarding other mounting options.
IMPORTANT: In order to provide a watertight seal, the
installer must seal the area around the knock-out holes, with
a type of caulking compound such as GE 100% silicone.
Slipfitter Installation:
Rout fixture leads through the Arm Fitting (provided by
others) connect to power leads (provided by others). Mount
fixture slipfitter to the Arm Fitting and secure by using (4) set
screws (provided) as illustrated in Figure 1.
If the Fixture is mounted in a position other than the horizontal, use care that the lens door does not abruptly swing down and
injure someone. In order to mount at top of sign to be used as a
downlight, user needs to order fixture as a V3ST which includes
rain shield.
IMPORTANT: In order to comply with established electrical
code, the installer must seal the area around the Fixture Slipfitter
and the Arm Fitting, with a type of caulking compound such as
GE 100% silicone.
WIRING
For electrical connections, refer to wiring diagram on
ballast or HF generator.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and any applicable local code

desired voltage terminal as indicated on the ballast terminal
nameplate.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Risk of burn
• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
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.
Periodic cleaning on the outside of the door glass will
ensure operation at maximum optical efficiency. The glass
and reflector (if needed) should be cleaned with non-abrasive
soap, cleaner, or detergent solutions, rinsed with cold water
and wiped dry.
The light output 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.
Lamp Tightness – Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp should be
securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35 inchpounds, 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.
QL induction lamps require assembly. Insert lamp onto
power coupler until lamp "clicks". Turn clockwise until second
"click" to lock.
NOTE: Lamp/coupler must be mounted on socket bracket
PRIOR to attaching to the reflector skirt.
