INSTALLATION
Mounting the fixture (Arm mount and Post-Top Instructions):
1. Remove reflector by loosening the 2 door screws or latches and slowly open the
fixture. The reflector can be removed by gently prying and pulling the reflector loose.
Once loose, disengage the socket quick disconnect and remove from the fixture housing.
This will give you access for mounting and wiring the fixture.
2. For arm mount fixtures, remove the top cap from pole, if in place. Insert the mounting plate
inside pole or tenon adaptor, aligning the three (3) mounting holes in plate with the three
(3) mounting holes provided on the pole. Slide the two threaded rods through the top and
bottom mounting holes in the pole and start to thread the rods into the matching holes in
the mounting plate (three turns are sufficient). Place one of the gaskets over the threaded
rods and against the pole.
3. To mount the arm, slide arm over threaded rod using the bolt guides inside the arm. Place
remaining gasket over the threaded rods and against the mounting arm.
4. Position the housing at the end of the arm
and feed fixture wires through arm, pole backing
plate, and out pole top. Align the holes with
Arm Mount
the threaded rods and insert the threaded rods
into the fixture. Install split lockwashers
and hex nuts (furnished) on the ends of the
threaded rods that are inside the fixture and
tighten securely. Make sure fixture is mounted
straight and square with pole before
raising pole.
5. Make wire connections observing voltage
and polarity. Connect green ground wire
from the fixture to field ground wire.

Lamp Installation
1. Re-install reflector by plugging the socket quick disconnect back in, line up the reflector to
its appropriate direction and gently push or pop back into place being sure to align the four
pop balls with their receptacles. Check to insure reflector is seated properly and secure
before installing lamp.
2. Prior to installing the lamp (optionally included) in the fixture, verify that the lamp source and
wattage corresponds with the fixture label. Screw the lamp securely into the socket, back
it out one or two turns, and tighten it securely again. This procedure properly seats the
lamp in the socket.
WARNING
Verify the proper fixture voltage lead has been selected
to match the supply voltage before energizing. Improper
wiring may result in ballast failure and void all warranties
NEVER disconnect any component while power supply is
engaged.
Optical Rotation
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
(This fixture is designed with optical rotation ease in mind via tool-less design)
1. Open door assembly. Gently pry or pull reflector away from housing. Rotate optical assembly
to desired light output as indicated by light distribution arrow on reflector. Insert reflector
assembly back into housing being sure to line up the four pop balls and their receptacles.
2. Check to make sure the reflector is seated properly and secure before installing lamp and
closing door assembly.
Terminal Block
Tools Required: Slotted screwdriver

1. Open the doorframe assembly, loosen the (4) lens clips securing nuts using a 1/2" wrench or socketsand remove them from the studs being careful to keep the lens
from falling or being damaged.
2. Take the existing lens gasket and place on new lens, place lens in doorframe assembly and re-apply the (4) lens securing clips and their (4) nuts securing well.
(Do not secure to the point of bending the clips)
Note: The optical reflectors are SPECIFICALLY designed for their respective lens option. We can not accept responsibility for photometric performance when
these are not matched.
EHS (External Houseside Shield) Option
Tools Required: Drill, 5/32" drill bit, slotted screwdriver or 5/16" nut driver
The EHS is unique and aesthetically pleasing design that can be rotated to any
desired side needed to help eliminate unwanted spill light.
1. Choose the side needed to apply the shield. Align the shield in this position
and choose the four indicator dimples that need to be drilled out, mark or
remember which dimples will be drilled.
2. Setting shield aside, open doorframe in order to keep drill from penetrating
reflector. Drill the indicator dimples chosen with 5/32" drill bit, being careful not
to penetrate the lens gasket by keeping drill perpendicular to the doorframe.
3. Close the doorframe and secure it. Align shield with chosen drilled holes,
install the 4 screws provided with phillips type screwdrive.
