IN-GRADE SOIL INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Temporary cover plate and vinyl label must remain in place
during housing installation.
PRECAUTION:
Adequate drainage must be provided during installation. It is
recommended the luminaire be surrounded by 3” to 4” of pea gravel along the
sides and minimum of 6” of pea gravel at the bottom and beneath the luminaire
housing. Top of the luminaire must be above grade so rain and irrigation water will
not accumulate for long periods of time.
1.
To prevent electrical shock, turn main power off at circuit breaker.
2.
Dig a hole approximately 12” in diameter to a depth suitable to make top of
temporary cover plate 3/4” above grade (see figure 1). Pea gravel is required
for seating the luminaire housing and providing necessary drainage.
3.
Connect conduit to housing. UL listed flexible conduit is recommended for in
and out connections to ease fixture positioning.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If conduit, of the rigid metallic type, is connected
to the enclosure housing, the hub (by others) shall be connected to the
conduit before the hub is connected to the enclosure housing.
4.
Plug and unused NPT holes with closure plugs (provided).
5.
Position fixture within the hole and back fill with pea gravel. Only the
uppermost layer, 3” maximum, should be soil or organic mulch.
6.
To pull supply conductor wiring, first remove and retain the Temporary Cover
Plate and Plate Screws by piercing through the label at the screws locations to
access the screws.
7.
Pull electrical supply wires (line in) through conduit opening. Stuff the wire
loop back through the conduit opening (line out).
8.
Reinstall the Temporary Cover Plate and Vinyl Label using the cover screws.
CONCRETE POUR INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Temporary cover plate and vinyl label must remain in place
during housing installation.
PRECAUTION:
Adequate drainage must be provided during installation. It is
recommended the luminaire be surrounded by 3” to 4” of pea gravel along the sides
and minimum of 6” of pea gravel at the bottom and beneath the luminaire housing.
Top of the luminaire must be FLUSH with finished grade.
1.
To prevent electrical shock, turn main power off at circuit breaker.
2.
Dig a hole approximately 12” in diameter to a depth suitable to make top of
temporary cover plate FLUSH with finished grade (see figure 2). Pea gravel is
required for seating the luminaire housing and providing necessary drainage.
3.
Connect conduit to housing. UL listed flexible conduit is recommended for in
and out connections to ease fixture positioning.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If conduit, of the rigid metallic type, is connected
to the enclosure housing, the hub (by others) shall be connected to the
conduit before the hub is connected to the enclosure housing.
4.
Plug and unused NPT holes with closure plugs (provided).
5.
Position fixture within the hole and back fill with pea gravel. The uppermost
layer, 6” minimum, should be left for poured concrete.
6.
To keep housing from floating during the concrete pour, the Rebar Mount
Bracket (RMB) accessory should be used to affix the housing to wire/rebar grid
using standard masonry methods.
7.
To pull supply conductor wiring, first remove and retain the Temporary Cover
Plate and Plate Screws by piercing through the label at the screw locations to
access the screws.
8.
Pull electrical supply wires (line in) through conduit opening. Stuff the wire
loop back through the conduit opening (line out).
9.
Reinstall the Temporary Cover Plate and Vinyl Label using the cover screws.
10. Pour the concrete at least 3” thick. Trowel concrete so it is even with the vinyl
label. Allow concrete to cure.
