Never connect components under load.
Do not mount or support these fixtures in a manner that can cut the outer jacket or damage wire insulation.
Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Never connect an LED product directly to dimmer packs, occupancy sensors, timing devices, or other related control devices. LED fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit.
Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not restrict fixture ventilation. Allow for some volume of airspace around fixture. Avoid covering LED fixtures with insulation, foam, or other material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling.
Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not exceed fixtures maximum ambient temperature.
Only use fixture in its intended location.
LED products are Polarity Sensitive. Ensure proper Polarity before installation.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): ESD can damage LED fixtures. Personal grounding equipment must be worn during all installation or servicing of the unit.
Do not touch individual electrical components as this can cause ESD, shorten lamp life, or alter performance.
Some components inside the fixture may not be serviceable. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, stop using the unit immediately and contact an ABL representative for assistance.

DESCRIPTION	USE
Flat-end Screwdriver	Installation of electrical wiring
1/4” Nut driver	Electrical tray and reflector screws
1/8″ Allen Wrench	Set screws (Mounting)
Torque Wrench	Set screws

Luminaire Installation

Place and level the luminaire on the pole.
Orient Housing such that street aiming rib faces the street. See
Figure 1
Alternate tightening of the four set screws (See Figure 1) will assist in centering the luminaire on the post capital. Tighten the four set screws to 45-50 inch – pounds. (If the GV1A73 accessory is included; follow that torque specification for that part).
Remove latch screw and latch and lift LED cover assembly back to gain access to the electrical tray and connections. Be cautious not to damage any component on this circuit board. See Figure 2.
Disconnect the main power quick-disconnect and photo control circuit (If equipped with photo control option) and secure cover to remain in the open position. See Figure 2.
Remove optic.
Loosen reflector screws and remove reflector.
Loosen two keyway screws, then turn and remove electrical tray; gently lay on its side to allow driver bracket to rest between arms of housing. Figure 3 shows electrical tray removed for clarity.
Insert the electrical supply wiring into the luminaire wiring chamber through the center slot in the provided gasket. See Figure 3.
Wire incoming leads to electrical tray accordingly. Connect incoming ground wire to ground wire attached to inside of wiring chamber. Carefully place connections in wiring chamber for future access.
For units equipped with 0-10V dimming, locate the gray and violet leads coming from the driver. If the unit is to be connected to dimming control gear (not included), trim, strip and connect these leads per the dimming control gear manufacturer’s instructions. The violet lead is positive, and the gray lead is negative. If the unit is not to be connected to dimming control gear, leave the leads individually capped.
Replace electrical tray on keyway slots, twist clock-wise and tighten screws
Re-install reflector and tighten reflector screws.
CAUTION
LEADS USED FOR DIMMING CONTROLS ARE TO BE SEPARATED FROM MAIN POWER CONDUCTORS IN A MANNER TO SATISFY STATE AND LOCAL CODES
Re-install optic.
Orient “street side” on optic with street side rib on housing. See Figure 4.
Orient “street side” and raised rib on heat sink with latch on cover. See Figure 5. Letter “A” on heat sink will face “street side” on optic and street side rib.
Close LED cover assembly while ensuring no leads are pinched. Engage and secure the latch.
Units supplied with a photo control option require a shorting plug or a twist lock photo control to be installed. Install the device by twisting it clockwise. See Figure 1.
CAUTION
A PHOTO CONTROL THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANSI C136.10 AND WITH A CLEAR WINDOW ON THE SIDE THAT EXPOSES THE PHOTOCELL MUST BE USED.
Energize the unit and check for proper operation

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Make sure the unit is de-energized.
Wipe off exterior dirt and debris using a soft, clean cloth.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS ON OPTICAL SURFACES. THEIR USE MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF OPTICAL EFFICIENCY.

Electrical Component Replacement

To replace photocontrol. (If provided) Make sure the unit is de-energized. Twist counterclockwise and remove. Replace with equivalent photocontrol.
For all other electrical parts- Make sure the unit is deenergized. Open housing by unscrewing and removing latch and latch screw (Figure 1). Disconnect main power quick disconnect and photo control disconnect (if applicable) and secure LED cover assembly in a way to prevent falling and/ or shock. (Or remove and place on a solid horizontal work bench).
Remove the reflector by loosening (2) screws. See Figure 3.
To replace LED driver. Make sure the unit is de-energized.
Loosen and remove electrical tray to access parts. Disconnect input and output via quick disconnects and remove (2) mounting screws.
Replace with Holophane approved driver. See Figure 6. If no other components are to be replaced go to Section 3.2.6
Replacement of surge protector. Disconnect quick disconnect plug coming from terminal and quick disconnect going to optical compartment. Remove SPD SCREW connecting the surge protector to the plate; retain screws for re-installation.
For standard surge units, remove the screw from mounting bracket and slide surge protector through opening in mounting bracket.
Replace with Holophane approved device. See Figure 4.
Bundle and secure the wiring in a manner like the way it was originally secured to avoid pinching of wires when re-installing the module into the housing.
Replace electrical tray on keyway slots, twist clock-wise and tighten screws.
Replace reflector (See Figure 1) and reconnect wiring harness(s), LED cover, latch and latch screw.
HARNESS NOTES
Any slack in the harnesses should neatly be pushed through the center opening in the lower reflector as the cover is closed.
Energize the unit and check for proper operation.

Field Adjustable Output Module

The Field Adjustable Output (AO) module is an onboard device that adjusts the light output and input wattage to meet site specific requirements, allowing a single fixture configuration to be flexibly applied in many different applications. The following data tables are for the AS/MVOLT and AH/HVOLT voltage options.
