Wallighter 250/400 Luminaire

INSTRUCTIONS

READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALL-

ING

MOST DWELLINGS BUILT BEFORE 1985 HAVE

SUPPLY WIRE RATED 60°C. CONSULT A

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE INSTALLING.

GENERAL

This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting service,

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.

This luminaire is designed for vertical-surface mount-

ing to illuminate underpasses or the ground around

buildings, or it can be mounted horizontally facing upward

to light signs or walls. It is for use only in non-hazardous

locations, where submersion by water is impossible, and

should not be mounted within easy reach of the general

public. A special vandal shield is available for vertical-

mounted units up to 250 watts.

UNPACKING

This luminaire has been properly packed so that no part

should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to

confirm.

INSTALLATION

To install, follow the steps below:

1. Remove the refractor/door assembly from carton.

2. Remove the reflector by loosening the center screw

and lifting up on reflector, thus exposing the polar-

ized socket connector.

3. Disconnect the polarized socket connector.

4. Place refractor/door assembly and reflector back in

the carton to prevent damage.

The unit is now ready for mounting and wiring.

FLAT SURFACE MOUNTING

Four knock outs – 3 mounting holes and 1 wiring

entrance hole in triangular array – are provided through

the rear wall. (See Fig. 1.) (See Fig. 2 for additional

dimensions.)

Note: Back of luminaire must be caulked with a

generic non-hardening sealer across the top and

down both sides.

PIPE MOUNTING (OPTIONAL)

Unit mounts horizontally on 1 1/4” or 2" IPS pipe by

means of pipe clamp screws. (see Fig. 2). To install,

loosen the pipe clamp screws and slip unit on pipe until it

hits the “stop” inside.

Tighten hardware hand-tight and level unit. When the

unit is level, secure all hardware.

Drain holes are provided to prevent collection of

moisture from condensation.

For proper charcoal filter function, seal around

incoming leads or cable with a suitable fitting or non-

hardening sealer.

IF MULTIWATT:

Multiwatt ballasts are available in various combina-

tions of wattage. See wiring instructions on wiring

tag inside the luminaire.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

To assemble luminaire, follow the steps below:

1. Engage the polarized socket connector

2. Re-install reflector.

3. Install lamp.

4. Align door with hinges and close. Tighten the one

captivescrew.

LAMP INSTALLATION

WIRING

The service leads should have suitable temperature

rating (See nameplate) and should extend into the

luminaire approximately eight inches. Route service

leads through lead clips to insure against heat damage,

and position all luminaire leads so as to prevent contact

with reflector.

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.

Do not remove insulated connectors from wires

not needed for required voltage connection.

Terminals are readily accessible on the terminal board

and will accept No. 14 through No. 6 wire. Attach the

service leads to the terminal board as shown on the wiring

diagram.

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 terminal to

the desired voltage terminal as indicated on the ballast

terminal nameplate.

Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe

lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and

restrictions on lamp operation, particularly ballast

type, burning position, etc.

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

firm tightening sufficient to fully depress and load the

center contact of the socket.

Lamp Tightness – Medium Base Lamp: The lamp

should be tightened to a light firmness sufficient to

depress the center contact.

MAINTENANCE

It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of

the refractor to maintain light levels. Frequency of

cleaning will depend on the ambient dirt levels and the

minimum light level acceptable to the user. The refractor

should be washed in a solution of warm water and any

mild, nonabrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean

water and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly

become dirty on the inside, wipe the reflector and clean

the refractor in the above manner.
