INGRADE SOIL INSTALLATION:
PRECAUTION: Luminaire is not submersible and adequate drainage
must be provided during installation. It is recommended the luminaire be
surrounded by 3” to 4” of pea gravel or sand to assure proper drainage.
Top of luminaire must be above grade so rain and irrigation water will not
accumulate for long periods of time.
1. To prevent electrical shock, turn main power off at circuit breaker.
2. Dig hole approximately 10” in diameter to a depth suitable to make top
of temporary cover plate ¾” above grade (see fig. 1). Pea gravel or sand
is recommended for seating the luminaire housing.
3. Connect conduit to housing. UL listed flexible conduit is recommended
for in and out connections to ease fixture positioning.
4. Plug any unused NPT holes with closure plugs (provided).
5. Position fixture within hole and back-fill with pea gravel or sand.
6. Pull electrical supply wires (line in) through conduit and luminaire. Pull
wires and make a 6” loop, long enough for manual connections with
safety connectors (4” to 6” above the top rim of luminaire).
CONCRETE POUR INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Temporary cover plate (purchased seperately) and
vinyl label must remain in place during housing installation.
PRECAUTION: Vinyl label and top of temporary cover plate must be at
finished grade.
1. To prevent electrical shock, turn main power off at circuit breaker.
2. Dig hole approximately 10” in diameter to a depth suitable to make top
of fixture flush grade (see fig. 2). Pea gravel or sand is recommended for
seating the luminaire housing.
3. Connect conduit to housing. UL listed flexible conduit is recommended
for in and out connections to ease fixture positioning.
4. Plug any unused NPT holes with closure plugs (provided).
5. Position fixture within hole and back-fill with pea gravel or sand.
6. To keep housing from floating, affix to rebar or grid-wire using standard
masonry methods.
7. Pour concrete at least 2” thick. Trowel concrete so that it is even with
vinyl label. Allow concrete to cure.
8. To pull supply conductor wiring, remove and retain vinyl label and
temporary cover plate.
9. Pull electrical supply wires (line-in) through conduit and luminaire. Pull
wires and make a 6” loop, long enough for manual connections with
safety connectors (4” to 6” above the top rim of luminaire).
10. Stuff wire loop into housing and reinstall temporary cover plate and
vinyl label.

LED ENGINE AND FIXTURE COVER INSTALLATION:
1. To prevent electrical shock, turn main power off at circuit breaker.
2. Remove vinyl label and temporary cover plate (if used).
3. Pull supply conductor wire loop out of housing, cut at center and strip
leads. Place lower silicone O-ring onto fixture housing (see fig. 3).
4. Using the silicone filled wirenuts (provided), connect the load conductors
of the replaceable LED engine to the supply conductors (see fig. 3).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SEALING WIRING COMPARTMENT:
NOTE: Failure to properly wire and encapsulate wire compartment will
void product warranty.
5. Use Mastic (provided), to seal the conduit entries from inside wire
compartment to ensure the sealant (see below) does not flow down into
the conduit.
6. Remove Sealant Pouch (provided), from protective cover. Grasp both
sides of the sealant pouch and pull until there is no barrier between both
solutions in the pouch.
7. Mix the sealant by alternately squeezing each end of the sealant pouch,
moving the sealant back and forth until the solutions are completely
mixed together.
8. Cut off the corner of the sealant pouch and immediately pour into the
wiring compartment completely covering the conduit entries - DO NOT
FILL PAST LOWER HOUSING BOSS SURFACE (see fig. 3). Allow sealant to
dry for approximately 20 minutes.
9. Coil LED engine to supply conductor wiring and stuff into housing
cavity.
10. Position LED engine onto lower silicone O-ring and align screw holes.
11. Place upper O-ring onto sealing surface of LED engine.
12. Place convex glass lens onto upper O-ring seal.
13. Place fixture cover onto glass lens and align screw holes.
14. Tighten cover screws evenly until there are no gaps between the
fixture housing, LED engine and cover.
15. Supply power to the luminaire and check for proper operation.
NOTE: As a recommended practice for installers of all ingrade luminaries,
Vista strongly recommends replacing the gaskets with new ones each
time the fixture is unsealed for maintenance. Relacement gaskets for
future use are provided for your convenience. Additional gaskets for your
maintenance kit may be purchased through your local Vista Professional
Outdoor Lighting distributor.
