Sportsliter Solutions Remote System - Manual (Page 2)

Read all of the following instructions prior to installation and
formulate an action plan for installation of your SLS system. Different
foundation/pole/crossarm combinations require their own unique plan.
Ensure that these instructions are available for future servicing of this
installation.
WARNING!
• Disconnect power before installation or servicing.
• Install, operate and maintain to meet all applicable codes.
• This system is to be installed and maintained by qualified personnel only.
• Cover all open ground holes for direct burial poles at job site when not erecting poles.
• Supply voltage must match that of ballasts in remote ballast boxes.
• Ensure that all supply and ground wiring is sized to meet the requirements of the
installation.
• All plugs are to be connected and disconnected only when the power is turned off.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the plugs.
• Check remote ballast box wiring to verify single or three-phase layout.
• Proper equipment, procedures and personal safety gear must be utilized per the
requirements of the task to ensure safety.
• Read and follow the lamp manufacturer’s warnings and use information before
installing lamps. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves while working with lamps.
• Use only mounting hardware furnished by Hubbell Lighting, Inc. to assemble
components together.
• Do not alter structural members in any manner such as by drilling, welding,
bending, etc.
• Additions to the installed SLS system such as flags, banners, etc. are prohibited unless
approved by Hubbell Lighting, Inc.
• Use extreme caution when working near overhead power lines or underground utilities.
Verify the existence and location of all underground utilities at or near the job site prior
to proceeding with installation.
• When handling poles or pole sections, remember that they are tapered and thus require
that the lifting device be secured in a manner as to prevent slippage.
• For concrete poles, a thru-hole is provided at the proper 1-point pick-up location to
enable a steel bar to be inserted as a safety stop for the sling during the erection
process, (this bar is NOT a lifting device).
• For concrete poles with cap plate, do not lift pole by cap plate.
• Slip-fit sections of multi-section steel poles must be secured in a manner to prevent
separation during the erection process.
• Recommended lifting point for complete steel pole/crossarm assemblies is at pole top
just under the cap plate.
• Do not lift complete pole/crossarm assemblies by any of the crossarm members. Secure
lifting device to the pole only. Take care to not damage or misalign the reflectors during
the erection process.
• Slings for handling poles and crossarms should be made of or covered with nylon or
some other nonmetallic material to protect the pole finish.
• The lifting capacity of the sling must be verified. Avoid damage or misalignment of SLS
system components during handling and storage operations.
• If the galvanized finish on any component is damaged in field, touch-up area with
spray-on galvanizing.
Soil Analysis/Foundation Design
• It is recommended that soil-boring samples be taken at the job site and
the information then submitted to a Registered Professional Engineer for
evaluation and issuance of a foundation design. Contact SLS for
foundation designs if needed.
• Refer to
Fig. 1 for an example.
Field Layout/Pole/Crossarm Alignment
• Identify pole locations on site per
Hubbell Application Engineering documentation.
Refer to
Fig. 2
• Refer to Fig. 3 for pole elevations.
• Refer to F igs. 2, 4 & 5 to align and plumb each pole/crossarm to the field
Foundations (direct burial and anchor bolt)
• The foundation is to be constructed in accordance with the design
supplied for your
installation and per applicable code requirements.
• Underground supply wire entry into poles are as follows:
• Concrete and steel (direct burial) – 18” below ground line on sides of pole,
parallel to field.
• Steel (anchor bolt) – bottom, center of pole.
• For installations with the lightning rod (LR) option, install components that
will be covered during backfilling. (See installation instructions provided
with the LR (lightning rod) option.
Direct Burial Foundations
• Bore hole per required diameter and depth.
• If a footing with steel rebar cage is required, center the cage in the bottom
of the hole and pour concrete to the level specified on the foundation
design drawings.
• Concrete must cure 24 hours before proceeding with installation.
• Place the pole (or pole bottom section for steel pole when concrete backfill
is required) in the center of the hole; align and plumb.
• See light position check in Final Notes section prior to backfilling.
• Make provisions for underground supply wiring entry into pole before
completion of backfilling. For installations with the lightning rod (LR)
option, install components that will be covered during backfilling. (See
installation instructions provided with the LR option)
• Avoid damage to the protective coating on steel pole bottom section
during backfilling.
• Backfill per foundation design drawings. Poles must be supported until
backfilling has been completed.
• If concrete backfill is required, the concrete must be allowed to cure 7 days
prior to assembling remaining pole sections or sports lighting equipment
to them. Full strength concrete cure takes at least 28 days, so evaluate
anticipated weather conditions that may involve severe winds and plan
installation accordingly.
Anchor Bolt Foundations
• Anchor bolts, hardware and anchor bolt setting templates are furnished by
pole supplier.
• Construct foundation per design drawings.
• Ensure that the concrete has cured a minimum of 28 days prior to
installation of poles.
• Thread one bottom nut and insert one flat washer onto each anchor bolt.
• These bottom nuts should be set so that when the pole base plate is set
on top of them the base plate will be level and as close as practical to
the foundation.
• Lift the pole onto the anchor bolts while routing the underground supply
wiring into the pole bottom.
• Insert one flat and lock washer and thread one top nut onto each
anchor bolt.
• Check the pole to ensure that it is aligned and plumbed correctly.
• Tighten all anchor bolt nuts on the top side of the base plate snug then an
additional one quarter turn
• Check to make sure that hardware is bearing completely against the
base plate.
• It is common practice to secure anchor bolt nuts in some manner to
prevent unauthorized turning or removal. Refer to
Fig. 13 for
anchor bolt detail.
