INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
HC/HD/HV HID CYLINDERS
A. SURFACE MOUNT
1. Secure mounting channel assembly to a 3 1/2"or 4" octagonal box
(Fig. 1). End slots in channel are provided for additional security, and
additional bolts through these slots are recommended for applications
where winds, vibration, or earthquakes may be encountered. Make
electrical connections in outlet box.
2. (HV cylinder only) Loosen both socket bracket mounting screws and
swing socket bracket toward capacitor bracket (Fig. 2b).
3. Feed channel assembly leads into luminaire top assembly. Engage
running thread and rotate assembly a few times. Make sure leads are
hanging freely on one side of the lamp socket bracket (Fig. 2). Rotate
assembly until canopy contacts ceiling.
a. (HC/HD cylinder) Assembly may be locked to running thread by
tightening the set screw (Fig. 2a).
b. (HV cylinder) Pull engaged end of socket bracket down slightly ans
swing bracket past mounting screw toward ballast. Tighten thread
clamp screw to running thread. Return socket bracket to original
position and tighten screws (Fig. 2b).
4. Make electrical connections inside fixture. Splice ground wire to fixture
ground wire, splice white supply lead to white fixture lead labeled
‘com’, splice black supply lead to black fixture lead labeled ‘line’.
B. PENDANT MOUNT
1. Secure pendant mount assembly to 3 1/2", or 4" octagonal box (Fig.
3). End slots in casting are provided for additional security, and
additional bolts through these slots are recommended for applications
where winds, vibration, or earthquakes may be encountered. Make
electrical connections in outlet box.
2. With HV cylinders, loosen both socket bracket mounting screws and
swing socket bracket toward capacitor bracket (Fig. 2b).
3. Rest canopy on luminaire top assembly. Feed pendant assembly 4"
into luminaire top assembly. Engage pendant thread and rotate
assembly a few times. Make sure leads are hanging freely on one
side of the lamp socket bracket (Fig. 3). Rotate assembly until
pendant threads are fully engaged.
a. (HC/HD cylinder) Assembly may be locked to running thread by
tightening the set screw (Fig. 3a).
b. (HV cylinder) Pull engaged end of socket bracket down slightly ans
swing bracket past mounting screw toward ballast. Tighten thread
clamp screw to running thread. Return socket bracket to original
position and tighten screws (Fig. 3b).
4. Make electrical connections in fixture. Splice ground wire to fixture
ground wire, splice white supply lead to white fixture lead labeled
‘com’, splice black supply lead to black fixture lead labeled ‘line’. (see
Fig. 3). Replace housing and reflector and install proper lamp (Fig. 4).
5. If luminaire is not hanging straight, loosen the four ball clamp screws
in pendant casting (see Fig. 3). Align luminaire and retighten screws.
6. Install canopy.
7. If installed in windy areas, or in areas subject to vibration or
earthquakes, a safety chain or cable is recommended (by others).
