safely.
Fixture location
Exterior Wash
™
200 Series fixtures are intended for outdoor use. With an IP rating of 66, they are dust
tight and able to withstand powerful water jets, but they are not submersible.
Observe the following limitations in selecting a location:

Do not immerse the fixture in water or any other fluid.

Do not install fixtures in a location where flooding may occur.

Do not allow water to collect on or near the pressure relief valve. Do not install a fixture with the valve
membrane horizontal so that water can pool on it.

Ensure sufficient drainage to cope with the heaviest rainfall. Make sure that water can drain away from the
installation area at least as fast as it can enter it.

Fixtures require free and unobstructed airflow around them to ensure adequate cooling: do not bury or
locate in an unventilated space. Allow at least 0.1 m (4 in.) free space around the fixture.

Install the fixture at least 0.2 m (8 in.) away from the surface to be illuminated and at least 0.1 m (4 in.)
away from any combustible materials (wood, paper, etc.). Keep it well away from any flammable materials.

The fixture can become hot. Restrict public access or locate the fixture so that it cannot accidentally be
touched.
Mounting the fixture
Warning! All fasteners used to mount Exterior Wash
™
200 Series
fixtures must be corrosion resistant and strong enough to mount
the fixture safely.
A washer must be installed directly under the head of each fastener
when anchoring the yoke base to the installation surface.
The fixture and mounting bracket are manufactured in corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum. Avoid
mounting the fixture in direct contact with other types of metal, as this can cause galvanic corrosion. When
fastening to a dissimilar metal surface:

Use an electrically insulating material (such as rubber or plastic) or coating between the mounting bracket
and the other metal.

Use a non-conductive coating such as Delta Seal on fasteners (screws, bolts, washers, etc.) where they
come into contact with the mounting bracket.
The fixture
’s mounting yoke base must be securely anchored to a wall, pedestal, structural beam or other
suitable support. The yoke allows the fixture to be manually panned and tilted for beam aiming adjustment.
The fixture and base can be mounted at any angle. The mounting surface must be hard, fixed and flat.
For temporary installations, the fixture is also suitable for truss hanging with a rigging clamp securely
fastened to the yoke base. When using a rigging clamp, secure the fixture with a safety cable (or other
secondary attachment) that is approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the
fixture if a primary attachment fails. Loop the safety cable through the attachment point on the back of the
fixture.
See ‘Fixture overview’ on page 9 for location.
Fasten the fixture securely with suitable mechanical fasteners. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it
where it can be moved or fall over. Ensure that the surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10
times the weight of all fixtures and equipment they will support.
Anchor the mounting yoke bracket to a flat surface. The number and type of fasteners used will depend on
the installation, but use at least three high-strength corrosion-resistant fasteners (recommended minimum
