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.
