Introduction
Bright Light Systems Nova HM (High Mast) LED luminaire is specifically designed for harsh operating environments found in ports,
airports, highways and rail yards. It offers superior performance and coverage over large areas and comes with a variety of optical
distributions. Consuming only 580 watts, the Nova HM dramatically reduces energy costs by almost 50% when compared to
traditional HID lighting. Our high-brightness LED Modules are IP68 rated and come with a UV resistant, high-impact polycarbonate
lens. Luminaire is UL 1598 safety listed to 42.7ºC.The RCM marking of this product applies to AS/NZS CISPR11:2004 (EMC)
“Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of industrial, scientific, and medical equipment”. This
product is designed to conform to AS/NZS 60598 “Luminaires, general requirements and tests”. Suitable for operation in wet
locations.

Mounting
Trunnion mount comes standard with the NOVA LED luminaire. Use standard trunnion or optional slipfitter mount for mounting
heights up to 60 meters or 200 feet. Luminaire offers preset adjustable angles of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 degrees above/below
horizontal.
Trunnion Mount
The trunnion bracket assembly is used for mounting luminaire to a cross arm or truss. It contains two 3/8”-16 weld nuts (for
slipfitter mount) and two ½” holes spread 10” apart for accommodating ½” bolt screws.

To install:
1. Verify the luminaire voltage listed on the product label is the same as the voltage to be supplied to the luminaire.
2. Fasten fixture with ½” bolts through holes/slots in trunnion bracket assembly to recommended torque of 40 foot lbs.
Avoid mounting on lightweight cross members which may vibrate or flex excessively.
3. Using Phillips head screwdriver, loosen four (4) fastener screws on cover of terminal block enclosure. Terminal block
enclosure is the polycarbonate enclosure with the product label affixed to the top. Retain enclosure cover.
4. Pull main power feed leads (by others) through loosened cord grip on terminal block enclosure.
5. Make all electrical connections per NEC or any applicable local codes.
6. Tighten and seal terminal block enclosure cover using Philips screwdriver. Recommended torque is 7 inch lbs.

Driver/Power Supply Maintenance
1. Perform steps 1 through 6 above. Inside terminal block enclosure, disconnect power supply feeds from terminal block.
Also, disconnect any low-voltage control wires if unit is equipped for wireless controller.
2. Unscrew four (4) hex head nuts and remove Power Supply from back of tray.
3. Attach new power supply and tighten four (4) hex head nuts.
4. Slide LED Module(s) tray back into place.
5. Run power supply cord through enclosure hole.
6. Reattach power supply wires to terminal block.
7. Repeat step 8 above.
Cleaning Maintenance
The luminaire features a self-cleaning enclosure, however, on occasion the lenses on the modules may get dirty and require
cleaning to ensure continued photometric performance. Clean the module lenses with a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If not
sufficient, use mild soap or a liquid cleaner. Do not use an abrasive, strong alkaline or acid cleaner as damage may occur. Inspect
the heat sinks on the modules to ensure that they are free of any obstructions or contamination. Clean with a non-abrasive cloth if
necessary. For environments with lots of particulates in the air, e.g. ports and terminals, BLS recommends cleaning the module
lenses at least once every 2 years.
