DESCRIPTION
USE
Flat-end screwdriver
Electrical module thumbscrews
3/16" Allen wrench
3/8” set screws in pole fitter
Torque wrench
Set screws
2.2 Fixture Installation.
2.2.1 With door open, disengage the white electrical connector
that is attached to the terminal block, loosen the two thumbscrews
and lift and slide out the electrical module, set the module aside.
(See Figure 1.)
2.2.2
Feed the supply wiring up through the slip fitter into the
electrical chamber as you set the fixture on its mounting (bracket,
tenon, pole top), being careful not to pinch the supply wires. Orient
and level the fixture before tightening all six setscrews. If the unit is
supplied with a photocontrol, the photo eye should be oriented in a
northerly direction. Alternate tightening of the screws will assist in
leveling and insuring proper attachment of the fixture. Tighten the
set screws to 15 ft. lbs.

2.2.3 Secure the supply wires to the fixture by tying them or
3.1.2 Lamp Access
installing a strain relief clamp.
2.2.4 Connect the electrical supply wires to the terminal block
in the bottom of the electrical chamber. The terminals are marked
“L1” (Line 1), “G” (Ground), and “L2” (Line 2). If one of the supply
lines is electrically neutral, it should be connected to terminal “L2”.
Dress the wiring neatly against the bottom of the chamber to allow
the installation of the electrical module.
2.2.5 Lift the electrical module to the opening of the housing and
slide the module into place and tighten the thumb screws. Plug in
the keyed electrical disconnect, being certain that the snap lock
engages on the disconnect latches.
Figure 1
Standard Units:
Note the orientation of the “Street Side” marking on the refractor.
Loosen the optic mounting clips screws. Lift the refractor off of the
electrical housing. See Figures 2 and 3
Units with top re-lamping access:
Grip the finial on top of the fixture; rotate it counter clockwise until
the bar is free from threads on shaft. Lift up on finial, shift bar to
one side and remove lamp access cap. See Figure 4.
3.1.3 Remove the lamp and dispose of it in a safe and proper
manner.
3.1.4 Install the proper lamp type. Tighten the lamp carefully but
securely.
3.1.5 Re-install the lamp access cap by inserting the clamp bar
under flange of refractor, rotate the finial clockwise until the
clamp bar becomes tight against refractor.
3.1.6 Energize the fixture and check for proper operation.
3.2 Electrical Component Replacement
3.2.1 With door open, remove the starter and photocontrol if
supplied. The starter is removed by lifting and sliding out and
disconnecting the electrical connector, the photo control is
removed by twisting it counterclockwise. If no other components
are to be replaced go to section 3.2.6. Disengage the white
electrical disconnect that is attached to the terminal block, loosen
the two thumbscrews and lift and slide out the electrical module.
(See Figure 1.)
3.2.2 Unplug the electrical disconnect, disengage the retaining
hook from the housing bracket and remove the electrical module.

2.2.7 Install the proper lamp type through the opening in the top
of the refractor. Tighten the lamp carefully but securely.
OPTICS ORIENTATION NOTES
Some of the fixtures in this series are equipped with optical
components that produce distributions of light that are not
symmetric and are intended to be aimed by orienting the prismatic
refractor a specific direction. The “Street Side” marking on the
housing should be pointed toward the street.
2.2.8 Install refractor onto electrical housing. Verify that the lip on
the refractor slips past the optic mounting clips on the electrical
housing. See Figures 2 and 3. Tighten the optics mounting clip
screws
2.2.9 Energize the fixture and check for proper operation.

NOTE
The entire electrical module can be replaced by another
module, allowing maintenance on the original electrical
module to be performed in the shop. If a complete
replacement electrical module is being used, skip to step 3.2.5
3.2.3 Tag all leads that will be disconnected and note the
orientation and position of all components that will be replaced and
the fasteners holding them. Remove the component(s) to be
replaced.
NOTE
The capacitor may be removed by disengaging the hook on the
end of the coiled wire bracket from the top lip of the capacitor and
lifting the capacitor out of the coiled wire bracket.
3.2.4 Use components supplied by Holophane. Place the new
components exactly as were the original components and reuse
the original fasteners to secure them. Check for pinched wires
before tightening down the replacement components. Tighten all
fasteners firmly. Bundle and secure the wiring in a manner similar
to the way it was originally secured to avoid pinching of wires when
reinstalling the module into the housing. Replace all
shields/insulation as originally installed.
3.2.5 Re-install the electrical module by, lifting it to the opening of
the housing, and slide module into place and tighten the
thumbscrews. Plug in the keyed electrical disconnect, being
certain that the snap lock engages on the disconnect latches.
(See Figure 1).
3.2.6 If the unit was supplied with a starter or photo control
reinstall them.
