Standard Version Installation
Each AR500™ fixture is shipped in two cartons, with the stanchion in one
carton and the head assembly in another carton. Be sure that you have one
stanchion and one head assembly for each fixture to be installed.
Included in each shipment is an installation tool kit. Check to be sure the tool kit
contains the following items:
1-15/16" open-ended wrench
3/16" T-handle Allen wrench
100Ωtermination resistor
Some additional tools will also be necessary in order to complete the installation.
You will need to obtain the following item:
#2 Phillips screwdriver
#2 Straight slot screwdriver
3/4″(or 19mm) socket
9/16″(or 15mm) Socket
The installation site must provide an adequate mounting platform, sufficient
clearance for focus adjustment of the head assembly and stanchion, sufficient
access for relamping and other servicing, and provisions for power and data
cabling.

1 Site Preparations
Note: The installation contractor is responsible for compliance with local
electrical codes.
The luminaire stanchion is provided with 10 feet (3 m) data cable and 10 feet
(3 m) power cable for external termination. To ensure proper operation, the
installation site should be equipped with waterproof junction boxes for data and
power cable termination. Data and AC power for each luminaire should be
terminated in separate junction boxes, unless a single barriered junction box is
installed. Terminal strips, not wire nuts, must be used to terminate wiring.
1.1 Mounting Platform for Stanchion Assembly
The stanchion mounting platform must have a diameter (or distance across flat
sides) of at least 18 inches (45.00cm). The luminaire's mounting plate includes
mounting holes sized to provide clearance for four sets of 3/8-18 (M10)
(preferably stainless steel). The hole pattern for the mounting plate is a square
that is 10.10 inch (25.65cm) on a side [or 10-7/64 inches (5.65cm)square].
Note: Be sure to use four sets of 3/8 inch (M10) hardware when installing unit.

1.2 Clearance and Access
As shown, the head assembly can be rotated to any orientation thru 348°and
requires 13 inch (33 cm) radius clearance around the vertical tilt axis. The
stanchion assembly can be rotated 14°and requires 33-9/16 inches (85.3 cm)
radius clearance around the horizontal pan axis.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed. Flammable objects must be
kept a minimum of 13′-2″(4.0 m) from lens.

1.3 Input Power and Control Cabling
Each AR500 luminaire requires 1000 watts of power at the specified voltage and
frequency. The luminaire is provided with 10 feet (3 m) of unterminated power
cable type SJOW-A 16-3 (1.5mm2). Power wiring is to be connected as follows:

1.4 Data Wire Termination
If data cable is installed in a daisy-chain (feed-thru) configuration, install 100Ω
termination resistor (provided) at end-of-line between positive(white or red) data
line and negative(black or green) data line. If data splitter is installed, the last
luminaire on each data run, as well as the transmitter to splitter data run, must be
terminated. (See diagram in 1.7 Multiple Data Run.)

2 Luminaire Installation Procedure
The following chapter describes unpacking shipping cartons, installing,
preparing, and wiring the stanchion and head unit for the AR500 luminaire. This
section also covers lamp installation and focus procedures.
2.1 Unpack Shipping Cartons
Note: Stanchion weighs 82 pounds (37.19Kg) or less, depending on voltage
configuration; head enclosure weighs 62 pounds (28.12Kg) for a total weight of
144 pounds (65.31Kg). The luminaire requires two people for installation.
1. Remove stanchion and head assembly from cartons.
2. Locate tool kit (provided).
2.2 Install Stanchion
3. Set stanchion on mounting pad in required orientation. Loosely secure
stanchion to pad using 3/8 inch (M10) hardware (not provided). Typically,
this requires four flat washers, four lock washers, and four hex nuts.
2.3 Prepare Stanchion
4. Remove stanchion cap.
5. Set thumbwheel to address desired on switch board located at top of
electronics plate (detailed in 3 Fixture Address).
