Installation Instructions

DELIVERY: Upon receipt of fixture and accessories (packed separately), thoroughly inspect for any freight damage. All damage should be reported to the delivery carrier. Compare the catalog description listed on the packing slip with the fixture label on the inside of the housing to be sure you have received the correct merchandise. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Tools Required: 9/16″ socket wrench. 3/16″ allen wrench.

Mounting block has has this reinforced cast step and the word “UP” cast into it once. This mounting block ships in the fixture carton.

  1. Attach mounting block to the pole by placing the flat bar stock with the 3 holes, two of which are threaded, inside the pole, aligning with the drill pattern (shown on next page). Place the cast aluminum block on the outside of the pole, with the word “Up” towards the top of the pole and facing outward or away from the pole. Thread the (2) 3/8″ diameter hex head bolts through the block and pole into the threaded bar stock. (There is no gasket needed). Check plumb and level of the block and secure bolts tightly with 9/16″ wrench or socket. (See Figure 1)

  2. Insert the wires from the fixture through the center hole of the mounting block assembly, pulling them into the pole. Place the luminaire over the mounting block while tilted up at a slight angle above horizontal, and then tip back down to horizontal once oriented on the block making certain the wires are not pinched. For ease of installation, the mounting block will hold the weight of the luminaire prior to tightening the mounting bolt. (See Figure 2)

  3. To secure the fixture, open doorframe by loosening the (2) captive screws using 3/16″ allen wrench. (See Figure 3)

  4. Tighten the locking hex head bolt inside the arm with a 9/16″ socket to 20-30 ft. lbs. torque
    (overtightening will cause stripping and void all warranties). (See Figure 4)

  5. Check the mounted assembly to assure proper placement and secured mounting has been achieved such that the fixture is fully seated on the cleat and arm is flush with pole.

  6. Close the doorframe and tighten the (2) captive doorframe screws.

  7. Make wire connections, observing proper voltage and polarity. Connect green ground wire from the fixture to the field ground wire. Reference wiring diagram on driver. Secure wires; push back into pole.

Troubleshooting

  • If this fixture fails to operate properly, check to make sure:
  • The fixture is wired correctly.
  • The fixture is grounded correctly.
  • The line voltage at the fixture is correct.
  • If all these variables have been checked and the fixture still does not operate as specified, contact your local Lithonia Lighting distributor.

  3. Assemble the shield to the light engine using the supplied screws.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 as needed.

Accessory: DSX0HS U (one per light engine)

DSX0 DROP LENS

  1. Place drop lens over the light engines and align the holes on the lens with the holes on the housing.
  2. Fasten using the supplied screws.

DSX WBA (Wall bracket)

  1. CAUTION: APPLY A CONTINUOUS BEAD OF WEATHER – PROOF CAULKING BETWEEN MOUNTING PLATE AND WALL TO ENSURE WEATHER – TIGHT INTEGRITY OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (see diagram below).

  2. Secure base plate to wall with (4) 1/4″ fastener (by others) using the (4) holes located on the outer corners of the base plate. Check the base plate to confirm that it is level and plumb in all directions (see diagram below).

  3. Prepare the cover plate by attaching the fixture’s mounting block to the cover plate using (2) 3/8″ diameter by 1-1/4″ bolts with lockwashers
    by inserting the bolts and washers into the mounting block through the cover plate and thread into the threaded steel bar stock. Use a 9/16″ socket or wrench and tighten securely (see diagram below).

  4. Place the curved portion of the cover plate upwards. Ensure the factory installed gasket is in place on the backside of the cover plate. Place large eyelet of safety cable over the lower bolt. Secure with provided nut (see diagram below).AcuityBrands-Legacy-DSX0-LED-G1-Area-Luminaire-fig-9

  5. Insert and tighten (4) 3/8″ diameter by 1-1/4″ stainless steel hex head screws into the threaded opening of the cover plate by turning approximately 6-7 full turns (see diagram above).

  6. To prepare fixture for installation, open doorframe by loosening the (2) captive screws using 3/16″ allen wrench. (See Figure 3)

  7. Pull the wires from the fixture through the mounting block on the cover plate. Place fixture onto the mounting block, being sure the wires are not being pinched.

  8. Tighten the locking hex head bolt inside the arm with a 9/16″ socket to 20-30 ft. lbs. torque (overtightening will cause stripping and void all warranties). (See Figure 4)

  9. Close the doorframe and tighten the (2) captive doorframe screws.

  10. Make wire connections, observing proper voltage and polarity. Connect green ground wire from the fixture to the field ground wire. Reference wiring diagram on driver.

  11. Attach small eyelet of safety cable to base plate with provided 1/4-20 screw (see diagram above).

  12. Slide the entire fixture assembly over the base plate, tighten the top (2) 3/8″ x 1-1/4″ stainless steel hex head screws until 3/8″ to 1/4″ of the screw is still visible. Tighten the two bottom hex head screws until 3/8″ to 1/4″ of the screw is still visible. Alternating between the top two and bottom two sets of screws, gently tighten until snug, (approx one thread showing on each screw).
