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.

1. Select a location on a flat wall with structurally sound wood

and from 10 to 25 feet from the ground. The wood should
be at least one inch thick to safely secure the fixture.

2. Attach the cover plate using two large machine screws.
3. Using the mounting bracket as a template. Hold it at the

desired mounting location (making sure the bottom is
level), and mark four mounting holes. We suggest drilling
3/16" pilot holes for the lag screws.

4. Put the two top lag screws through their holes in the

mounting bracket and hold them in place while you push
the gasket onto these lag screws. Start these two screws
into the two top pilot holes.

5. Start the other two lag screws, and then tighten all four

screws.

6. Hang the fixture on the mounting bracket using the slot

in the cover plate.

7. Twist the fixture wires to the supply wires. (

black to black,

white to white, and the bare fixture wire to the supply
ground wire).

8. Make sure the wires do not get pinched, and swing the

fixture up so the base fits tightly against the gasket. Push
the pin through the hole at the top near the gasket, and
into the mating loop in the mounting bracket. You may
need to tap the pin to seat it all the way down.

9. Secure the fixture with the small machine screw going

through the cover plate and into the mounting bracket.

10. Install lamp. Lamp rating must match the rating of the

fixture.

Model 9272: 150 Watt high pressure sodium type S55
lamp.

Model 9274: 100 Watt metal halide type M90/O open
rated lamp.

11. Hold the lens and wire cage up to the fixture and align the

clips on the wire cage with the protrusions in the housing.
Hook the clips over these protrusions and snap the clips
closed to hold the lens and wire cage in place.

12. Loosen the screw in the center of the photocontrol socket

two turns. Twist the socket so that the arrow points north.
Note: There is a stop to prevent the socket from turning
all the way around. If you have trouble turning the socket,

try turning it the other direction. Retighten the screw in
the center of the socket.

13. Align the photocontrol (it will only plug-in one way). Plug

it in and twist clockwise until it stops.

14. Caulk fixture mounting surface with silicone weather sealant
To test operation during daylight, cover the photocontrol with
a small box. Turn on the power. Not all photocontrols are alike.
Some may have a time delay of a few minutes, others will turn
on as soon as power is applied. The light will take up to ten
minutes to reach full brightness. Uncover the photocontrol and
your unit will operate automatically—on at dusk, off at dawn.
