construction and operation and any hazards involved. Regular fixture maintenance programs are
recommended.
It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of the refractor/lens. Frequency of cleaning
will depend on ambient dirt level and minimum light output which is acceptable to user.
Refractor/lens should be washed in a solution of warm water and any mild, non-abrasive
household detergent, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. Should optical assembly become
dirty on the inside, wipe refractor/lens and clean in above manner, replacing damaged gaskets
as necessary.

INSTALLATION
1. Unpack the fixture and remove the door by loosening the two captive closure screws just far
enough to allow the door to swing open. Remove any internal packing material.
2. Remove the reflector from housing. The two screws need only be loosened for reflector
removal.
3. Mount the housing to the wall using three bolts (installer to provide). Note: If Hazardous unit is
being installed it comes with a Wall Bracket attached. DO NOT REMOVE. Mount to wall using 4
bolts (installer to provide).
CAUTION: Do not mount upside down. In upside down orientation the fixture is not suitable for
wet locations.
4. Caulk the mounting holes to prevent moisture entry. (NOT REQUIRED FOR HAZARDOUS
LOCATIONS)
5. If the luminaire is mounted over a rough surface a weatherproof sealant type of caulking
compound should be used to provide a water tight seal between the luminaire and the
mounting surface.
Top Entry
1. Remove the threaded plug in the top-entry threaded conduit opening.
2. Apply pipe thread sealant to threads to prevent moisture entry ( NOT SUITABLE FOR USE IN
HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS).
3. Install ¾ - 14 NPT threaded conduit. (FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS: a bead of water proof
sealant should be added to the outside of the installed conduit between it and the Luminaire
housing.)
4. Pull wiring into the luminaire and make the appropriate supply wire connections.
