Installation Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
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 electrical work should be done by a qualified
electrician.
SAFETY WARNING: Do not install these fixtures in submersible installations such as fountains or swim-
ming pools. Extreme caution should be taken when fixtures are used in paved areas. Lighted lamp is
HOT! High temperature lenses can burn feet, hands or objects inadvertently placed on top of fixtures. If
fixtures must be used in paved areas, locate them away from normal pedestrian traffic, and use the lowest
wattage lamp available. Do not touch hot lens, guard, or enclosure.
MAINTENANCE: To maintain light efficiency and prevent fixture overheating, lenses must be kept clean and free
of dirt, dust, leaves, trash and mineral deposits from water. For optimum performance a regularly scheduled
maintenance program should be followed. KEEP THIS SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
CAUTION:
Do not use colored lamps as they will create critical temperatures within the fixture.
To help maintain a clean, dry splice compartment, seal the conduit entries with RTV.
Do not exceed maximum wattage shown on fixture label.
Make sure all electrical supply is
OFF
before beginning fixture installation.
Alignment:
Fixture lens frames can be installed on housings at 45° increments. Care must be taken when installing
the housing so directional lens frames can be installed at a desired orientation.

Tools Required:
K
" Socket Wrench
Socket Wrench Extension
RTV Sealant
Torque Ratchet (inch/lbs.)
ROUGH-IN HOUSING INSTALLATION:
1. Excavate hole in desired location approximately 20" in
diameter and about 3" deeper than height of housing.
Seal all conduits entering the wiring compartment.
2. Connect housing to conduit system. Seal
all
conduits
entering the wiring compartment with thread sealant.
This includes
both
the conduit threads
and
the conduit
itself. (Reference instruction #6.)
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION READ GUIDELINES ON OPPOSITE SIDE.
Rock /
Soil Fill
Use Thread Sealant To
Prevent Water Entry
IMPORTANT:
Condensation inside the fixture is a common occurrence due to the expanding and condensing of the
trapped air inside the fixture as it is cycled on and off. When the lamp is energized during the evening hours, moisture
on the inside of lens will burn off as fixture heats up. It will reappear after power is shut off and the inside air
condenses during cooling. A large majority of this moisture can be avoided by following the installation guide lines as
described in the housing installation instructions. Always relamp fixture during low humidity periods. Before closing
fixture, remove desiccant from zip lock bag and place in reflector compartment. Energize the lamp for approximately
five (5) minutes to dry air inside fixture. Install lens and lens frame as described below.
