COMPONENTS. ONCE THE FIXTURE IS TWISTED INTO PLACE, PLEASE PLACE ANOTHER BEAD
OF CAULKING AROUND THE TOP AND SIDE OF THE FIXTURE BETWEEN THE FIXTURE AND THE

Tools Required: #2 philips type screwdriver, 1/4″ hex driver. E20WC
option also requires 11/32″ closed end wrench.
Preparing the J-box for D-Series Size 1 LED Wall fixture mounting:
Remove one of the j-box screws. Loosen the remaining j-box screw. Remove the
J-box adaptor strap from the supplied hardware bag and position the strap
keyhole over the loosened j-box screw. Align the remaining strap slot over the
j-box screw mounting hole. Insert the j-box screw and tighten. Tighten the
remaining j-box screw. Remove the two screws from the supplied hardware bag
and select holes on the j-box strap that are as horizontally opposed as
possible. Next you will need a ¼ hex driver. Do not tighten the screws all the
way because you will be mounting the back of the light fixture onto these
screws.
Mounting the D-Series Size 1 LED Wall standard fixture to a J-box:
Loosen the light fixtures cover screws and unsnap the electrical connectors
that connect the cover to the main fixture housing. Now place the cover
assembly aside until the last steps. Pull wires from the j-box in through the
oblong wire access opening on the back of the main fixture housing. Position
the back of the fixture housing such that the two adaptor strap screw heads
will fit through the keyhole slots in the fixture housing. Now rotate the
entire housing assembly until fixture is level. With a standard or small size
ratchet and a ¼” hex driver, tighten the two adaptor strap screws. Take the
cover assembly and snap the electrical connectors together with the main light
fixture connectors. Place cover assembly back onto the main light fixture
housing taking care not to pinch any wires. Tighten the two cover closing
screws between 20-25 in. lbs. with a Phillips style screwdriver.
Mounting the D-Series Size 1 LED Wall E20WC fixture to a J-box:
Loosen the light fixtures cover screws and unsnap the electrical connectors
that connect the cover to the main fixture housing. Now place the cover
assembly aside until the last steps.
Take the main fixture housing and unsnap the two single electrical connectors
that connect to the small fuseholder. Using an 11/32” closed end wrench remove
and save the two nuts that connect the main fixture housing to the emergency
backbox. Remove the main fixture housing and pull the two single electrical
connectors through the oblong wire access opening on the back of the main
fixture housing. Pull the remaining wires out of the emergency backbox through
the emergency backbox cover wire access and unsnap the electrical connectors.
Now the main fixture housing can be set aside.
Take a Phillips style screwdriver and loosen the four screws on the back box
cover assembly until the cover assembly can be removed from the backbox.
Unsnap the remaining electrical connections so that the cover assembly can be
placed aside. Pull wires from the j-box in through the oblong wire access
opening on the back of the backbox. Position the back of the backbox such that
the two adaptor strap screw heads will fit through the keyhole slots in the
fixture housing. Now rotate the backbox until it is level. With a ¼” hex
driver, tighten the two adaptor strap screws.
Take the backbox cover assembly and reconnect electrical connectors. The
connectors that connect the backbox to the main fixture housing and the small
fuseholder wires will need to be on the outside of the backbox cover wire
access hole. Place the backbox cover assembly onto the backbox and tighten the
four screws. Take the two single electrical connectors that connect to the
small fuseholder and feed them back into the main housing. Take the remaining
connectors coming from the back of the main housing and reconnect to the
backbox connectors. Place these connectors back through the backbox cover wire
access opening. Now take the two nuts and tighten the main housing to the
backbox cover. Reconnect the remaining connectors from the light fixture cover
to the main housing.
Read the provided emergency instruction sheet (included in carton as a
separate document) fully before making the last connection
which will be the connection of the small fuseholder/convertor.
Place light fixture cover assembly back onto main light fixture housing taking
care not to pinch any wires. Tighten the two cover closing screws between
20-25 in. lbs. with a Phillips style driver.
Installing D-Series Size 1 LED Wall Bird Spikes (if the full length of the spike assembly is not desired, sections can be removed prior to assembly by snapping sections off.)
- Remove the screws (2 for the DSXW1 & 4 for the DSXW2) that holds the light fixture electrical cover in place. Then remove the cover assembly by disconnecting the quick disconnects. The spike assembly will be installed using the provided self drilling screws.
- Remove the paper backing from one side of the provided gasket and apply the gasket to the spike assembly.
- Remove the paper backing from the remaining side of the gasket.
- Select the spike assembly location so that the self drilling screws do not damage the fixture electricals.
- Press the spike assembly onto your selected location and attach with the self drilling screws.
- Snap the quick disconnects back together. Reinstall the cover taking care not to pinch any wires.
Mounting the D-Series Size 1 LED Wall standard
fixture to a back box (BBW):
Back box will be provided with (3) 3/4″ NPT hole plugs, one on top and on each
side. (See Figure A).
See the back box in Figure B for the location of the cast-in drill point
indentations provided for Step 1 below.
- Step 1: Drill the back box as shown in Figure B to prepare it for 1/4″anchor bolts (not provided) in 2 places with 9/32″ drill.
- Step 2: Place drilled back box against the wall, mark wall and drill for the anchors (not provided).
- Step 3: Install (2) anchors (not provided) securely into wall and attach the back box. Install surface-mount conduit and secure with 3/4″ NPT locking nut (not provided). Do not over tighten.
- Step 4: Secure green grounding wire from supply conductors to grounding lug in back box.
- Step 5: Apply bead of silicone sealant (not provided) around perimeter of back box.
- Step 6: Consult fixture installation instruction to complete installation.
Installing the D-Series Size 1 LED Wall Wire Guard
- Step 1: Take one of the wire guard brackets and place it against the edge of the cast housing. Locate the bracket hole 2-11/16″ away from the front of the housing as shown in Figure A. Use bracket as a drill guide. Use a #26 drill bit (.146 to .150 dia) and drill through in 2 places taking care not to drill into the LED lights. Repeat these steps on the other side.
- Step 2: Using a 1/4″ hex drive, attach the wire guard brackets to the cast housing as shown in Figure B. The screws will create their own threads in the holes you drilled in Step 1. Now take the remaining screws and attach the shield to the wire guard brackets.
Installing the D-Series Size 1 LED Wall Vandal Guard
- Step 1: Take one of the vandal guard brackets and place it against the edge of the cast housing. Locate the bracket hole 1-3/4″ away from the front of the housing as shown in Figure A. Use bracket as a drill guide. Use a #26 drill bit (.146 to .150 dia) and drill through in 2 places taking care not to drill into the LED lights. Repeat these steps on the other side.
- Step 2: Using a 1/4″ hex drive, attach the vandal guard brackets to the cast housing as shown in Figure B. The screws will create their own threads in the holes you drilled in Step 1.
- Step 3: Take the vandal guard plastic shield and remove any protective film that it may have been shipped with. Now take the remaining screws and attach the shield to the vandal guard brackets.
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.
