REMOVE LOWER HOUSING:
FIXTURES WITH ONE-PIECE LOWER:
Lift lower housing hinge pins out of the hinges in the upper housing.
Slide lower housing off of hinge bar.
FIXTURES WITH POWER-PAD:
Unfasten the power-pad latch screw. NOTE: The power-pad is
HEAVY, and it should not be allowed to drop free and swing.
Disconnect the two sets of electrical connectors, and then unhook
the power-pad from the hinge bar and remove it.
MOUNTING / LEVELING:
FOUR BOLT FITTER:
1-1/4" MAST ARM - Loosen the four fitter clamp bolts until the fitter
will slip over the mast arm.
2" MAST ARM - Loosen the four fitter clamp bolts. Remove the
plastic bird shield and break out the pierced section to allow it to fit
into the 2" mast arm. Replace the bird shield. Slide the luminaire
onto the mast arm to the stop and tighten the fitter clamp bolts tight.
LEVELING:
Place a level on the area provided on top of the luminaire. If the
luminaire is not level from side to side, twist the luminaire on the
mast arm until it is level
FOUR BOLT FITTER:
Tighten all four bolts. If the FRONT END IS LOW, loosen the two
front fitter bolts and tighten the two rear ones. Repeat this procedure
until the luminaire is level.
If the FRONT END IS HIGH, loosen the two rear fitter bolts and
tighten the two front ones. Repeat this procedure until the luminaire
is level.
When the luminaire is level, tighten the fitter clamp bolts with a
wrench to 10 ft.lbs for 2" MAST ARMS or 1/16" deflection,
or 15 ft.lbs for 1-1/4" MAST ARMS or 1/16" deflection.
CAUTION
OVER-TORQUING OF FITTER CLAMP BOLTS CAN
CREATE CRACKS IN THE HOUSING CAUSING
THE FIXTURE TO FALL TO THE GROUND.
!
INPUT VOLTAGE:
If the voltage available is different from that shown on the terminal block,
consult the wiring diagram for directions.
WIRING:
Feed the supply wires through the mast arm, dress them so they do not
interfere with any components, and connect them to the proper terminals
on the terminal block. Verify that supply voltage is correct as noted on
the terminal block label. Refer to the wiring diagram and the data on the
ballast for connection information and ratings.
INSTALLING LOWER HOUSING:
FIXTURES WITH ONE-PIECE LOWER:
Insert lower housing hinge pins into the hinge cradles of the upper
housing. Swing the lower housing into position and press firmly upward
until latch snaps into position. NOTE: IT IS NEVER NECESSARY OR
ADVISABLE TO SLAM THE HOUSING CLOSED!
FIXTURES WITH POWER-PAD:
To install the ballastry power-pad, engage the hinge hook with the hinge
bar on the upper housing. Connect the two sets of electrical connectors
firmly together. (These connectors are "polarized" so they will only fit
together one way.) Swing the power-pad closed. Fasten the latch screw
until it is firmly seated, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT.
MOUNTING / LEVELING (cont.):
CSA SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
Slide the weather guard onto the mast arm first. Carefully fold back the
insulating barrier along the score line to expose the fitter bolts. Install
the fixture as directed in the standard mounting instructions. Once
fixture has been installed, slide the weather guard along the mast arm
until it is firmly seated against the rear of the luminaire housing. Apply
RTV sealant between the weather guard and the housing creating a
water-tight seal. Once wiring has been completed, fold the insulating
barrier back into place.
