Installation Instructions
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
NOTE: All wiring must be run in accordance with the National Electrical Code (Canadian Electrical Code in Canada) through conduit or another acceptable means. Contact a qualified electrician if there is any question as to the suitability of the system.
CAUTION: Make sure the power is off before starting the installation.
This fixture can be mounted on a wall with, or without using a
Installation Using A Junction Box
Note: If your junction box protrudes out of the wall slightly, you may want to use the enclosed gasket so less caulking is required.
1.Hold the Mounting Bracket and Gasket over the junction box. Thread the supply wires through the large hole in the back of the Mounting bracket. Select the holes in the mounting bracket that line up with the screw holes in the junction box. Make sure the bottom of the Mounting Bracket is level. Secure with the two #8 screws provided.
Installation Without A Junction Box
1.Select a location on a flat wall with structurally sound wood and from 5 to 25 feet from the ground. The wood should be at least one inch thick to safely secure the fixture.
2.Use the Mounting Bracket as a template. Hold it at the desired mount- ing location (making sure the bottom is level), and mark four mounting holes.
3.Use four #8 or #10 wood screws or galvanized deck screws at least 1 inch long (not provided) to secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall. It may be necessary to drill appropriate pilot holes if mounted to hardwood to avoid splitting.
4.Remove the knockout in the bottom of the Mounting Bracket, and bring your supply wires through this knockout using appropriate flexible conduit or other approved means of wiring.
Complete The Installation
1.Put the Temporary Pin through the holes in the Mounting Bracket.
2.This fixture must be grounded. Connect the supply ground wire to the green ground screw. You can also attach a bare or green “pigtail” to the green ground screw, then connect the ground pigtail to the supply ground when the other supply wires are connected.
3.Slide the fixture onto the Mounting Bracket, and allow the fixture to rest on the Temporary Pin.
4.Connect the fixture wires to the supply wires (black to black, white to white, and if a ground pigtail was added above, connect this pigtail to the supply ground wire). Secure with the wire connectors provided.
5.Remove the Temporary Pin, and slide the fixture all the way down onto the Mounting Bracket making sure no wires get pinched.
6.Install the screw through the bottom of the Mounting Bracket and into the fixture housing. Tighten this screw.
7.Install ONLY a 100 watt mercury vapor type H38 lamp (provided).
8.Caulk fixture mounting surface with silicone weather sealant.
To test operation during daylight, cover the photocontrol with black tape. Turn on the power. The light will take up to ten minutes to reach full bright- ness. Remove the tape from the photocontrol and your unit will operate
