LIGHTVAULT® - LTV Lens Reflector Installation Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING: Fixtures must be grounded in accordance with local codes or the National Electrical Code.
! Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury. All work should be done by a qualified electrician.
!
SAFETY WARNING: Lighted lamp is HOT! Do not touch lens, guard, or enclosure. Do not operate
luminaire with missing or damaged lens.
MAINTENANCE: For optimum performance a regularly scheduled maintenance program should be followed.
See page 3 for furthur maintenance instructions. KEEP THIS SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Tools Required:
J" Hex Socket Wrench
Philips Screwdriver
F" Hex Socket Wrench
Silicone Grease
K" Open End Wrench
IMPORTANT: Condensation inside the fixture is a common occurrence due to the expanding and condensing of the
trapped air inside the fixture as it is cycled on and off. When the lamp is energized during the evening hours, moisture
on the inside of lens will burn off as fixture heats up. It will reappear after power is shut off and the inside air condenses
during cooling. A large majority of this moisture can be avoided by following the installation guide lines as described in
the housing installation instructions. Always relamp fixture during low humidity periods. Before closing fixture, remove
desiccant from zip lock bag and place in reflector compartment. Energize the lamp for approximately five (5) minutes to
dry air inside fixture. Install lens and lens frame as described below.
LENS FRAME / REFLECTOR INSTALLATION:
! Make certain electrical supply is OFF before starting fixture installation.
1. Remove debris shield from
housing & discard. (Shield is
aluminum, please recycle.)
Revised 7/16/10
ECN 100715008
2. Place dessicant package inside
housing before connecting quickdisconnect.
Status 6
3. Connect housing quick-disconnect
to reflector assembly quickdisconnect.

Installation Instructions
LENS FRAME / REFLECTOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont'd.
Note: Make sure gasket and gasket
surface is clean and dry. Make
certain no dirt has fallen into screw
holes. Any foreign objects trapped
in the gasket areas will create
potential points of entry for ground
water.
4. Grease threads before installing
eyeball onto housing.
5. Install eyeball assembly onto
housing (making sure eyeball will
be facing desired position), and
tighten opposing screws
progressively and evenly until
tight.
Note: Eyeball will mount in 8
directions @ 45° increments.
6. Remove eyeball frame, lens and
gasket.

8. Note: After installing lamp, let fixture warm up for
5 minutes before completely closing. Install
eyeball-lens frame, lens and gasket making sure
surface is clean and dry.
Coat screws with silicone grease and tighten
opposing screws progressively and evenly until tight.
Any foreign object trapped in gasket will create
potential points of entry for ground water.

Installation Instructions
LAMP / MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
!
Make certain electrical supply is OFF before starting lamp installation.
1. To replace lamp remove eyeball lens frame & gasket with lens.
3. NOTE: After installing lamp let fixture warm up
for 5 minutes before completely closing.
4. Before closing fixture, clean lens and gasket inside
and out. Be sure gasket and gasket surface is dry.
Make sure no dirt has fallen into screw holes. Any
foreign object trapped in the gasket will create
potential points of entry for ground water.
2. Replace lamp of type and wattage as shown on
fixture label.
Coat screws with silicone grease and tighten opposing
screws progressively and evenly until tight.
WARNING:
This H.I.D. / Fluorescent fixture utilizes a lamp that may
contain mercury. For information on disposal of lamp,
go to website: www.lamprecycle.org
MAINTENANCE:
▼ A regularly scheduled maintenance program must be established to keep fixtures clean. Dried leaves and paper
can burn if allowed to accumulate on high temperature lenses. A buildup of dirt and other material on the lens
may cause excessive temperatures within the fixture.
▼ High temperature lenses can burn feet, hand or objects inadvertently placed on top of fixtures.
▼ Clean lens gasket and frame inside and out. Before closing fixture, be sure gasket and gasket surfaces are clean
and dry. Make sure no dirt has fallen into screw holes.
▼ Install lens gasket and lens frame. Coat screws with silicone grease and tighten progressively and evenly until
tight.

Installation Instructions
MAINTENANCE OF VISIBLE CONDENSATION ON
LENSES:
▼ Never install or maintain fixtures in the rain, or on
days with very high relative humidity (over 80%).
▼ After insuring that all water and visible moisture has
been dried out of the fixture, and before sealing the
fixture:
1. Install the lens ring and hand tighten all fasteners.
2. Start the fixture and allow it to reach operating
temperature (30 minutes or longer).
3. With the fixture still operating, loosen all lens ring
fasteners and lift the lens ring slightly (no more
than A"), leaving it propped open and "breathing" for
roughly 10 minutes with the lamp operating. This will
exhale the moist air trapped inside the fixture
housing.
4. With the fixture still operating (illuminated) and hot,
place the lens in its closed position and completely
tighten all fasteners. This process will evaporate a
great deal of the atmospheric moisture from the
interior of the fixture, and will reduce visible condensation to a minumum. In order to maintain this, this
procedure must be repeated any time the luminaire
is opened for maintenance. It is highly recommended that an installer wear gloves to protect from burns
caused by hot lens surfaces.
▼ Should water be found inside of the fixture that has
entered through the conduit system, it is essential
that the conduit system be cleaned, dried-out and resealed before the fixture is re-sealed.
▼ Every effort must be made to insure the fixture
interiors remain completely dry during installation.
The debris shields provided with the fixtures are not
water tight. If flooding is anticipated during the
installation phase, extra effort must be made to
isolate the fixtures from water intrusion, or they must
be sealed off with plastic sheet and tape to prevent
water entry.
▼ Should the appearance of condensation increase in
density or size of droplets, it is likely that water is
entering the fixture. Inspect all gaskets, conduit
entries, and interior covers. Once the leak has been
detected and repaired, repeat the sealing process
described (#3 page 3).
