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.
This fixture can be mounted on a wall with, or without using a flush-mounted
junction box. Do not attempt to mount this fixture on a surface-mounted
“Wet Location” junction box. Use the instructions below that apply to
your application.
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 50 watt metal halide M110/O open rated lamp (pro-
vided).
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
automatically—on at dusk, off at dawn.
WARNING: Turn power off at the circuit breaker or
fuse.
Lamp in Fixture Contains Mercury. Dispose According
to Local, State, or Federal Laws.
