INTRODUCTION

Product Description

The RSL-350 is designed to include most of the standard low wattage, medium- and mogul-base HID lamps currently available.
The fixtures utilize a precision optical system to maximize post spacings. Gaskets located above and below the refractor create a sealed optical chamber.
The RSL-350 is designed to mount on a 3 inch O.D. post tenon.

INSTALLATION

Tools and Material Required.

Fixture Installation.

Place and level the luminaire on the post top tenon. See Figure 1. If the unit is supplied with a photocontrol, the photo eye should be oriented in a northerly direction. Alternate tightening of the set screws will assist in leveling and insuring proper attachment of the fixture. Tighten the set screws to 10-12 ft-lbs.
Remove the wire way cover by removing the two screws.
Standard Units: Connect the electrical supply wires to the luminaire wires. Follow approved wiring techniques. Connect incoming ground wire to ground wire attached to inside of wiring chamber. Connect incoming common wire to wire marked COM from the ballast. If a single voltage ballast is used, connect the remaining wire to the incoming supply line. Note: Lead may need to be stripped. If a multivolt ballast is used, find the correct voltage number marked on one of the remaining wires and make the connection. Carefully, place connections in wiring chamber for future access. See Figure 1.
Twist Lock Photocontrol Units: See Figures 3. Connect the electrical supply wires to the luminaire wires. Follow approved wiring techniques. Connect incoming ground wire to ground wire attached to inside of wiring chamber. Connect incoming common wire to wire marked COM from the ballast. If a single voltage unit is used, connect the black wire from the photocontrol to the incoming line lead. If a multiple voltage ballast is used, connect the red lead from the photocontrol to the appropriate voltage ballast lead. Connect the black lead from the photocontrol to the incoming supply line lead. Note: Lead may need to be stripped. Photocontrol Units: Carefully, place connections in wiring chamber for future access.
Replace wire way cover. Reinstall and tighten screws.
Remove the two retaining nuts and remove the top cover by lifting it straight up.
Figure 2
Twist lock Photocontrol Units: Disconnect the
photocontrol electrical connector and remove the wires from the wire support. See Figure 3
Install the proper lamp type. Tighten the lamp carefully but securely.
OPTICS ORIENTATION NOTES
Some of the fixtures in this series are equipped with optical components that produce distributions of light that are not symmetric and are intended to be aimed by orienting the prismatic refractor a specific direction. The “Street Side” marking on the refractor should be pointed toward the street.
Orient the refractor by locating the markings on the refractor flange. Position the “street side” marking toward the street and align the “rib” marking with the ribs of the housing.
Twist lock Photocontrol Units: Place photocontrol
wires into wire support. Reconnect the photocontrol electrical connector. See Figure 3
Re-install the top cover by placing it over the ribs and aligning the holes in the top cover with the threaded studs on the ribs. Reinstall the two retaining nuts.
Twist lock Photocontrol Units: Remove the plastic cap from the top of the unit. Loosen two screws on the photocontrol receptacle. Rotate the receptacle to point the arrow marked “N” in a direction that is generally North. Tighten the two screws on the photocontrol receptacle. Install a twist-lock type photocontrol in to the receptacle.
Energize the fixture and check for proper operation.

Optional Equipment Installation

Scroll – Attach scroll to ballast housing below wire way cover, replace upper set screws with 3/8 set screws in kit. See Figure 4.
Filigree – Remove two retaining nuts from top cover and place Filigree over the studs. Reinstall the two retaining nuts. See Figure 4.

Loosen the two top cover retaining nuts.. Lift the top cover straight up. Note the orientation of the “Street Side” marking on the refractor. See Fig. 1.
Twist lock Photocontrol Units: Disconnect the photocontrol electrical connector and remove the wires from the wire support. See Figure 3.
Remove the lamp and dispose of it in a safe and proper manner.
Install the proper lamp type. Tighten the lamp carefully but securely.
Twist lock Photocontrol Units: Place photocontrol wires into wire support. Reconnect the photocontrol electrical connector. See Figure 3.
