GENERAL
This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting
applications and should not be used in areas of limited
ventilation or in high ambient temperature enclosures. Best
results will be obtained if the luminaire is installed and
maintained according to the following recommendations.
UNPACKING
This luminaire has been properly packed to protect it
during transit. Unpack, inspect, and notify the distributor
or shipping agent of any damage found.
MOUNTING
Figure B
1. Certain models have a shield to protect the user from
exposure to electrical components while relamping.
This shield must be removed to install power supply
leads to the terminal board. This shield MUST be
replaced after making the supply connections. (See
Figure B)
2. Feed the power supply leads through the slip-fitter wire
access hole as the fixture is installed on the pole. Level
and secure the fixture to the pole by tightening the
three set screws in the slipfitter.
3. Connect power supply leads to the terminal board
making sure that the ground lead is mated with the
terminal receiving the green grounding wire.
Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it to
nameplate.
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.
IF MULTIWATT:
Multiwatt ballasts are available in various combinations
of wattage. See wiring instructions on wiring tag
inside the luminaire.
4. Re-install shield noted above if removed and install
lamp.
5. Install the canopy. The hinges can only be as-
sembled when the canopy is tilted up about 40
degrees. (It will rest in the fully open position but
should be braced while working with the fixture to
prevent injury.) Reassemble the PE receptacle
connectors (if provided), close and latch canopy.
LAMPS
CAUTION
Unit will fall if not installed properly
•Follow installation instructions
This luminaire is provided with means for mounting on
2 in. (2.375 O.D.) to 3 in. (3.500 O.D.) pole tops.
INSTALLATION
Refer to figure A.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and any applicable
local code requirements.
Figure A
CAUTION
Risk of burn
•Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe lamp
manufacturer’s recommendations and restrictions on
lamp operation, particularly ballast type, burning
position, etc.
LAMP TIGHTNESS: The lamp should be securely
inserted to NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35 inch-
pounds, which is best achieved by very firmly tighten-
ing to insure application of sufficient torque. Tightening
must be sufficient to fully depress and load center
contact of socket.
INSTALLATION OF SCROLLS
FOR PM 16 LUMINAIRE
Three (3) scrolls & three (3) thread forming screws are
packed unassembled in the shipping carton.
To install each of the scrolls on the luminaire, hook
it’s tab into one of the three (3) sockets on the under-
side of the rim that is below the refractor. (See Figure
C.)
Secure the scroll at the bottom of the fixture with
one of the three screws provided.
Figure C
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Periodic cleaning of the refractor will ensure operation
at maximum optical efficiency. The refractor may be
removed by loosening three tie bolts and rotating the
securing collar. Wash with non-abrasive soap, cleaner or
detergent solutions and rinse with cool water. (NOTE: The
refractor is keyed to the collar with the street side
opposite the hinge. These should be aligned at re-
assembly.)
Light output is dependent on the age of the lamp. In
applications where light level is critical it may be desir-
able to replace lamps before their end of life. The lamp
manufacturer can provide data showing how the lamp
light output decreases with use.
These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation or
maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred
to GE Lighting Solutions.
