ROADMAX SERIES LUMINAIRES
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFTEY INSTRUCTIONS!
Verify that supply voltage is correct. RoadMax RX1 operates at 120-277 VAC, 60 Hz current.
Do not exceed maximum voltage marked on luminaire label.
LED luminaires should be powered directly from a switched service unless specification indicates otherwise.
Do not connect directly to control devices, such as occupancy sensors, timing devices or dimmer packs.
Follow all National Electrical Codes (NEC) and any applicable local code requirements for electrical and
grounded connections. Wiring connections should be capped with UL listed or recognized connectors.
Wear gloves and safety glasses when removing luminaire from carton, during installation, or while performing
maintenance.
Avoid direct eye exposure to an LED light source while in operation.
Disconnect power before wiring the fixture. High voltage may be
present even when the photocontrol is removed.
If not qualified, consult an electrician.

If you are installing a secondary lens or light trespass shields, attach to the luminaire prior to hanging the luminaire.
Please see the separate instructions for installing these accessories in the field. Installing a photocontrol, steps
8 and 9 may be easier to perform on a workbench than on a pole. Likewise, setting the FAO (Field Adjustable
Output switch), step 7, can be done in advance, prior to installation.
1. Disconnect the power to the luminaire.
2. Open the access panel using the access panel knob by rotating approx. 2 turns. Panel will hang securely.
3. Using the ½ inch drive socket, loosen (do not remove) the
two tenon clamp bolts enough to allow the mounting arm
(not included) to slide into the service cavity. Mounting arm
should be placed upon or ‘stopped’ against the leveling steps.
Use caution and avoid striking internal components with
the mounting arm.
Leveling steps are +/- 5° tilt: +5, +2.5, 0, -2.5, -5 degrees.
4. RoadMax RX1 accepts mounting arms with a maximum outside diameter of 1-5/8 & 2-3/8 inch.
Luminaire is set at the factory to accept 1-1/4 inch mounting arm.
Note: A wildlife guard is provided for use with a 1-1/2 inch diameter mounting arm. If using a
mounting arm larger than 1-1/2” remove the wildlife guard. See instructions for Installing or
Removing the RoadMax Wildlife Guard.
5. Tighten the bolts to 75 in-lbs, alternating from bolt to bolt. Refrain from tilting the clamp or unevenly
tightening the bolts to avoid cross-threading.
6. Pull the wires through the mounting arm. Allow for enough length to easily attach to the three-position
terminal block. Loosen the terminal block screws prior to connecting wires. Use 1/4 inch slotted
screwdriver for securing conductive wires in the terminal block, torque to 15 in-lbs.
a.Connect the green wire, or ground, to the terminal block at the GND location
b.Connect the black wire, or hot, to the terminal block at the L1 location
c.Connect the white wire, or neutral, to the terminal block at the L2(N) location
Note: A reference wiring diagram can be found inside the access panel. RoadMax is sold with pigtail
options. Exact steps may vary depending on if pigtails (white and black wires} are sold with the luminaire
vs. a no pigtail option.

7. If you have ordered a luminaire with an FAO (Field Adjustable Output switch) installed and you intend to
use this to set a lower wattage, do so at this time if you have not done so already. Please refer to the RX1
datasheet for details.
8. Rotate the photocontrol socket if position requires adjustment. By default, North is oriented to the front of
the luminaire. Use a #2 Philips screwdriver for photocontrol socket or photocontrol only if rotation is
required. Torque to 25 in-lbs.
9. Insert a twist lock photocontrol (not provided) or network node (not provided) into the photocontrol socket
and install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.
10. Close the access panel. Tighten the access panel knob. Do not over tighten.
11. With power on, test the photocontrol.
Note: Photocontrols and photocontrol test response times may vary. Some photocontrols may turn the
light off and on over the first few minutes after power is applied. This does not indicate a defect. A
defective photocontrol will operate with the light on at all times regardless of the time of day. Allow several
minutes for the photocontrol to turn the fixture off. A small number of photocontrols fail off. Test according
to the type of photocontrol in use.
If the luminaire comes with the Evluma integrated photocontrol, “XP” model, allow up to 5 seconds for the
luminaire to respond.
PHOTOCONTROL FAILSAFE
If the RoadMax has been ordered with Photocontrol Failsafe the luminaire will flash once to indicate that power is
connected, and luminaire is in operation. The RoadMax begins collecting data immediately. Short daytime tests of
the photocontrol will not affect the gathering of this data.
WARRANTY
