INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting applica-

tions, and should not be used in areas of limited

ventilation or in high ambient temperature enclosures. Best

results will be obtained if installed and maintained

according to the following recommendations.

UNPACKING

This luminaire has been properly packed so that no

parts should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to

confirm.

MOUNTING

TRUNNION MOUNTED UNITS — Mounted directly on a

flat surface. Mounting adapters are available for installa-

tion on poles, crossarms, pipes, etc. The trunnion bracket

has a clearance hole for a 3/4-inch bolt used for attach-

ment to such mountings. The 0.562-inch holes on either

side permit additional anchoring, where required. Tighten

side trunnion bolts to 18 - 22 foot pounds.

PIPE MOUNTED UNITS — The slipfitter can be

mounted on 1-7/8-inch O.D. through 2-3/8-inch O.D. or

2-7/8-inch O.D. through 3-inch O.D. pipes. Three set

screws are used to clamp the floodlight securely to the pipe.

Tighten set screws to 18 - 22 foot pounds.

WALL MOUNTED UNITS - The wall mounting plate is

provided with four (4) 0.438-inch clearance holes spaced

4.375(H)x2.875(V) inches for mounting.

AIMING

Slightly loosen bolt "A" (two on trunnion, one on

slipfitter), tilt luminaire to desired position, and retighten

bolts. Both trunnions and slipfitters have vertical degree

scales which permit setting the floodlight at a selected

angle and facilitate repositioning to the original setting

after having moved the floodlight for servicing. Also, a

sight has been cast into the top of the housing as an aid in

aiming the unit during daylight hours.

PHOTOELECTRIC CONTROL

Photoelectric control receptacle (if present) should be

oriented before control is installed. Loosen the two

holding screws and rotate receptacle until "North" is

directed as near as possible to true north. Tighten

holding screws and install control.

WIRING

Make all electrical connections in accordance with

the National Electrical Code and any applicable

local code requirements.

Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing

it to nameplate.

If unit is designated as multivolt or multiwatt,

follow specific instruction.

Connect ground lead to the green lead, green

ground screw on housing or terminal block

provided.

Do not remove insulated connectors from wires

not needed for required voltage connection.

When changing voltage on reconnectable units,

move only the lead with the insulated connector.

IF SINGLE VOLTAGE:

All single voltage ballasts are pre-wired such that

user need only connect the supply conductors.

IF MULTIVOLT: (120/208/240/277 volts)

Connect the ballast lead with the insulated termi-

nal to the desired voltage terminal as indicated on

the ballast terminal nameplate.

IF MULTIWATT:

Multiwatt ballasts are available in various combi-

nations of wattage. See wiring instructions on

wiring tag inside the luminaire.

TRUNNION MOUNTED LUMINAIRES — Three-

conductor No. 14 cable (with 90°C minimum insulation)

is recommended for making electrical connections to

these units. Open the floodlight by loosening two screws

"B" and pulling the door forward. Remove the insulation

shield from the reflector to expose the wiring entrance

and terminal board. Loosen screws in pressure plate,

insert cable through grommet, and retighten screws.

(Notice that grommet fits cable of approximately 9/16-

inch diameter.) Grommet and pressure plate form a

weatherproof seal and strain relief. To maintain this

seal, screws in pressure plate must be retightened

whenever seal is disturbed.

Connect line lead to first (#1) terminal board position

and neutral lead to last (#3) position and connect

ground lead to the terminal with the green lead attached.

Before closing luminaire, be sure insulation shield is

properly attached to the reflector.

SLIPFITTER-MOUNTED AND WALL-MOUNTED UNITS —

Splice supply leads to three leads inside wiring box.

Splice line lead to black lead, neutral lead to white lead,

and ground lead to green lead, which is electrically

connected to floodlight housing.

LAMPS

Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe

lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and

restrictions on lamp operation, particularly ballast

type, burning position, etc.

The VLU is designed for high pressure soduim (HPS),

"Deluxe White" mercury, and metal halide lamps of 400

watts and less, depending upon the ballast installed. The

HLU is designed for HPS lamps only.

Lamp Tightness – Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp

should be securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified

torque of 35 inch-pounds, which is best achieved by

very firmly tightening to insure application of sufficient

torque. Tightening must be sufficient to fully depress

and load the center contact of the socket.

MAINTENANCE

35-201578-65 (1/00)

READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING

CAUTION

Unit will fall if not installed properly

•Follow installation instructions

WARNING

Risk of electric shock

•Turn power off before servicing

–see instructions

This floodlight is provided with either trunnion mount-

ing, pipe mounting, or wall mounting means.

CAUTION

Risk of burn

•Allow lamp/fixture to cool before

handling

This unit has a ballast tray which can be removed

for easy replacement of the ballast, ignitor or capacitor.

To remove the tray, disconnect the supply leads from

the terminal board, separate the disconnect to the

lamp and photoelectric control, loosen the screws at

the top of the ballast tray and slide the tray to the

left so that the tray can be pulled free over the

keyhole slots. Reverse this procedure for installation.

The ALGLAS®finished reflector and door glass may

be cleaned with any suitable non-abrasive glass cleaning

solution, soap or detergent, and rinsed with clean water.

WARNING

Risk of burn

•Do not touch operating luminaire
