I INSTALL LUMINAIRE
1) POLE INSTALL
The pole clamp accommodates 42 to 60mm diameter
pole. If necessary, adjust the two pole clamp bolts so
that opening is slightly larger than pole size being used.
Bird-shield behind slip-fitter clamp comes with an
opening for Dia. 42mm pole. If a larger size is used,
detach knockout to provide a larger opening. Insert
mounting arm carefully through bird-shield and into
back of the luminaire until it hits the leveling steps
which stick down from top of housing.
By selecting different step, the luminaire may be
adjusted up or down with respect to pole. A circular pad
is provided on top of housing for convenient application
of hand level.
To mount, hold luminaire approximately level and snug
up bolts. If more upward tilt of front of luminaire is need,
loosen the bolts slightly. Lift luminaire and insert it to the
next set of leveling steps. If downward tilt is needed,
reverse procedure by extracting the luminaire from the
mounting arm to sit on a more rearward set of steps.
Once the proper level has been achieved, tighten each
bolt by 6-7 N.m torque, alternating between bolts. If a
torque wrench is not available, correct torque may be
achieved by turning bolts two to three full turns (or until
bottoming occurs) past their “snug position”.
WARNING
Under no conditions should bolts be torqued to a
level greater than 16 N.M.
2)WIRING
Three type wire diagram for the fixture. You can connect
wire according to the diagram where attached inside of
the housing. Make all electrical connections in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and any
applicable local code requirements including grounding.
CAUTION
Verify that supply voltage is correct by
comparing it to nameplate.
The door is mechanically interlocked with top housing in
all positions except in vicinity of removal location.
V. MAINTENANCE/ LAMP REPLACEMENT
OPTICAL MAINTENANCE
In order to maintain high efficiency of reflectors and
refractors, a regular cleaning cycle should be
established with frequency dependent on local
conditions. Use a mild soap or detergent which is
essentially neutral (pH approximately 6 to 8),
nonabrasive, and which contains no chlorinated or
aromatic hydrocarbons. Wash thoroughly, using a soft
cloth, or brush if necessary, Rinse in clean, cold water
and wipe dry.
