AV-SAL-01
Solar Area Light
Region A
Region A covers most of Central and Southern Australia, including Tasmania.
1. Assembly of the lamp post is shown in Figure 5.
2. Electrical wiring of the Solar Area Light is shown in Figure 6.
3. Recommendations for mounting of the completed lamp
post assembly are shown in Figure 4.
4. Where the customer is providing their own supporting
structure for the lamp post, it should be capable of
withstanding the following design conditions:
- Provide adequate support for a dead weight of 250kg
- Ultimate moment at base = 21 kNm
- Ultimate shear at base = 5.3 kN
- Resulting ultimate bolt load = ±46 kN
5. A purpose-built footing is otherwise recommended with
dimensions shown in Figure 3. Footing design is based on
typical soil having a bearing strength of 120kpa or greater.
If the soil is poor, variable or rock then seek additional
engineering advice.
6. a) Use a simple template with diameter 20mm holes
drilled at 320mm centres to position the holding bolts
while the concrete is poured and while it sets. (Position
the bolt pattern to suit the preferred location for the
access cover in the lamp base).
b) Remove the top nuts and the template after setting.
c) Fit the assembled lamp post over the hold down bolts
with the base sitting directly on the bottom nuts.
d) Adjust bottom nuts to level the post base.
e) Fit a washer and two nuts to each of the hold down
bolts to securely fix the lamp post base.
