ATTENTION: If your fixture is equipped with a multi-tap ballast and if no voltage was specified on the
purchase order, the ballast has been wired for operation on a 120 or 277 volt circuit. If other than 120
or 277 volts is required, i.e. 208V, 240V, see Ballast Wiring Information below.
WARNING! Never energize fixtures with plastic bag - installed for
! protection during construction or painting. This will cause permanent
damage from overheating.
BALLAST WIRING INFORMATION: Note: To access ballast compartment, remove (4) screws from lens cage and
(4) screws from reflector. Pull 120v or 277v lead from grommet. Run desired voltage lead through grommet, ie. 208v,
or 240v. Be sure to cap off any exposed leads. Replace screws to reflector and lens.

PGL Omni-System® Installation Instructions
Overview
The PGL Omni-System® has a rectangular light pattern that is oriented to the driving lane differently for a single row
system versus a double row system. In addition, the orientation of the lens cage is different for a single row system
(PGL2) and a double row system (PGL3). The purpose of the alternate lens cage orientations has to do with optional
Louver Modules which may be installed for brightness control. A brief explanation and examples are included below.
The fixture locations should be shown on the garage plan with an icon for a PGL2
or a PGL3
This icon shows the
orientation of the lens cage in plan view. If Louver Modules are to be installed, their location should be indicated by a
solid quadrant in the icon. See examples below.
PGL2 Single Row System
PGL3
Double Row System
PGL2 fixtures are
factory assembled with the lens
cage oriented 45° to the driving lane.
This allows optimum use of Louver Modules
as shown below.
PGL3 fixtures are factory assembled
with the lens cage oriented at right
angles to the driving lane. This allows
optimum use of Louver Modules as shown
below. PGL3’s are installed with the
rectangular light pattern running parallel with
the driving lane (as shown at left).
PGL2’s are installed with the rectangular light
pattern running across the parking bays (as
shown at left).

driver who is viewing the fixtures at
oblique angles. The fixture icon is solid in the
quadrant where the louver is to be installed.
In a typical PGL2 single row layout, one
Louver Module would face the driver in a oneway driving bay. For two-way drives, two
Louver Modules would be installed on
opposite sides of the PGL2.
In the typical PGL3 double row layout, one
Louver Module faces the driver in each
fixture. For two-way drives, two Louver
Modules would be installed in adjacent fixture
quadrants.
Preparing for Installation
Make certain electrical supply is OFF before starting installation.

❹ Prepare the fixture:

Screw
To assure a correct installation, the specifier should key
the fixture locations on the
garage plan with the icon for a
PGL2 or PGL3 . If Louver
Modules are to be installed,
their location should be
marked by a solid quadrant in
the icon .
Install the Kim speed mount to
the J-box. The Kim speed
mount is labeled with the correct icon for the specified fixture. In addition, the speed
mount label also orients to the
driving lanes by a large arrow.
Do not put washers under
screw heads.
Verify that the label on top of
the fixture matches the speed
mount label. Labels are color
coded: PGL2 are printed black
on white and PGL3 are printed
black on yellow. Matching up
these labels will assure that
the right fixture is being installed and that it is correctly
oriented.
Remove the tape that holds the
suspension strap to the fixture.
Make sure that the speed
mount screw is fully reversed
(untightened).
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 wiring must be done by a
qualified electrician. KEEP THIS SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

PGL Omni-System® Installatiion Instructions
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE:
1 Suspend fixture:
!
Make certain the electrical supply is OFF before starting fixture installation.
2 Make wire connections:
3 Fixture to speed mount:
A
Slide the suspension strap
onto the wire retainer on the
speed mount plate. Allow
fixture to hang freely.
Make electrical connections
observing polarity, i.e. greento-ground, white-to-white and
black-to-voltage. Keep fiber
sleeve close to bottom of
wires as this will prevent
pinching wires in the next
step.
B
(A) Swing fixture away from J-box center and up
against ceiling and speed mount plate. It is important
to keep tension on the suspension strap as the
fixture is raised. The suspension strap will guide slots
in the top of the fixture to hooks on the speed mount
plate. Carefully feed wires into the J-box. (B) Slide the
fixture towards the center allowing the hooks to accept
the weight of the fixture.
LAMPING / RELAMPING:
4 Tighten Mounting Screw:
Tighten the mounting screw
until it stops turning. Do not
overtighten.
!
Make certain the electrical supply is OFF.
1. Loosen the four captive screws in the lens cage.
2. Carefully lower the cage down onto the hanger bracket.
The fixture will hang unlevel to permit access to the
bracket.
3. Unhook the long bracket by lifting and pulling outward.
4. Install lamp of type and wattage indicated on fixture
label.
5. Re-hook cage bracket and lift cage. Tighten captive cage
screws.
Ballast Access: ! Make sure the electricity is OFF.
1. Remove the lens cage by lifting and unhooking the
brackets.
2. Remove the hydroformed reflector and socket by re
moving the four screws.
Optional Louver Module:
Check the specifier's key on
the garage plan and arrange
the louver to match the icon.
The Louver Module is
supplied with two captive
screws. Lift the louver into
place and attach it to the
lens cage using the predrilled holes.
! WARNING:
The 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.
Power Washing:
Because parking garages are open structures, fixtures eventually become dirty with
air and exhaust pollutants. With large numbers of fixtures in most garages, it is
simply not practical or cost effective to hand clean the luminaires. To solve this
dilemma, the PGL Omni is sealed against upward spray to allow power washing –
a fast and effective way to keep the fixtures at peak efficiency through regular
maintenance.
