CAUTION
RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE
-
Never connect luminaires and/or components under load with supply voltage turned on.
-
Do not mount or support these luminaires in a manner that can cut the outer jacket or damage wire insulation.
Do not restrict fixture ventilation. Allow for some volume of airspace around luminaire. Avoid covering luminaire with insulation, foam or other material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling. -
Do not exceed luminaire maximum ambient temperature.
-
Do not modify the luminaire.
-
Only use luminaire in its intended application and location.
-
LED products are polarity sensitive. Ensure proper polarity before installation.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage LED. Personal grounding equipment must be worn during all installation and servicing of the luminaire. -
Do not touch individual electrical components as this can cause ESD, shorten LED life, or impact LED performance.
Some components inside the luminaire may not be serviceable. In the unlikely event your luminaire may require service, stop using it immediately and contact the Customer Care Call Center at 800-555-0050. -
Always read the luminaire’s complete installation instructions prior to installation for any additional luminaire specific warnings.
-
In the case of HID or Fluorescent luminaires, regular re-lamping is required to keep luminaire operating within safe limits
-
Do not install damaged product. Handling and installing damaged products can potentially increase the risks mentioned. In case of damage and/or missing parts upon arrival of the luminaire, please contact the Customer Care Call Center at 800-555-0050.
-
These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide every possible contingency to meet in connection with installation, operation or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s or owner’s purposes, this matter should be referred to the Customer Care Call Center at 800-555-0050.
-
Please see luminaire specific Installation and Maintenance Instruction for additional warnings or any applicable FCC or regulatory statements. Failure to follow any of these instructions could void luminaire warranties.
Luminaire Maintenance
-
Regular luminaire maintenance programs are recommended.
-
It is recommended to clean the outside of the luminaire and the retractor/lens.
-
Frequency of cleaning will depend on ambient dirt level and minimum light output which is acceptable to user.
If clean water is not sufficient for cleaning, use a neutral, synthetic, non- scratching and non-abrasive cleaning substance. -
Never use alkaline and/or acetous cleaning substances.
-
Make sure that the cleaning substance is carefully removed by rinsing with lots of clean water.
-
Signify recommends using a cleaning solution that has a PH between 5 and 8.
-
Recycle: For information on how to recycle electronic products and components, please visit www.epa.gov.
Electrical Connection
- Connect the black fixture lead to the input voltage supply or Hot 1 (208V/240V/480V wiring).
- Connect the white fixture lead to the neutral supply or Hot 2 (208V/240V/480V wiring).
- Connect the Green ground lead to the incoming ground wire.
- If DIMD or WLDC external controls options are selected, connect the purple dimming positive lead to the control’s dim-ming positive lead and the grey dimming negative lead to the control’s dimming negative lead.
- IMPORTANT: Close fixture access door and tighten the door screws to 27 in-lbs torque or properly close 2x latches if latch option was selected.
SLF—Slip Fitter Mount
Note: Tenon must be 3.75” or longer.

STEP 1:
Remove splice cover screws and splice cover to access wire splice area.
STEP 2:
Route the supply wire through the tenon. Secure the supply wire to keep from
sliding back down the pole. Route wire through slip fitter arm into splice
area.
STEP 3:
Holding routed wires in the splice area, carefully lower luminaire onto
tenon. The slip fitter should be centered on the tenon. For 2-3/8” tenons a
centering rib is cast into the slip fitter base to help guide the centering.
Check to ensure that wires are not pinched between the inside of the slip
fitter and top of tenon and that lumi-naire and wires rotate freely.
SLF—Slip Fitter Mount
Note: Tenon must be 3.75” or longer.
STEP 4:
Secure the luminaire on the tenon. To keep the luminaire centered on the
tenon, hand tighten the slip fitter set screws in a star pattern around the
slip fitter using a 3/16” Allen wrench until the tip of the screws just engage
the tenon. (Do not fully tighten). Using the built in aiming sight at the top
edge of the luminaire rotate the luminaire hori-zontally until the desired
aiming target is centered in the aiming win-dow. Tighten the set screws to 20
ft.-lbs when the final horizontal posi-tion is set.
STEP 5:
Make electrical connections per Electrical Connection section (pg. 1) inside
the splice area. When complete replace the splice cover and screws removed in
Step 1. Ensure that the gasket is correctly in place before tightening splice
cover and screws.

Note: Tenon must be 3.75” or longer.
VERTICAL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Angle adjustment can be made before luminaire in-stallation.
STEP 6:
After the luminaire is installed, the vertical angle of the lumi-naire can be
adjusted within the limits of the aiming diagram (pg.1) in 5° increments.
STEP 7:
To adjust the vertical angle, loosen the 1/2–13 X 1.75” socket cap bolt
located in slip fitter Arm. (Do NOT remove bolt.) Loosen only enough to allow
rotation of cast teeth.
STEP 8:
Using the aiming sight and the degree indicators shown as a guide, rotate
vertically the luminaire to the desired position and retighten the bolt
loosened in Step 7 to 47 ft.-lbs.
SFC—Slip Fitter Mount with Cord
Note: Tenon must be 3.75” or longer.
HORIZONTAL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
STEP 1:
The slip fitter should be centered on the tenon—see STEP 3 and cut-away
illustration on page1. To keep the luminaire centered on the ten-on, hand
tighten the slip fitter set screws in a star pattern around the slip fitter
using a 3/16” Allen wrench until the tip of the screws just en-gage the tenon.
(Do not fully tighten). Using the built in aiming sight at the top edge of the
luminaire rotate the luminaire horizontally until the desired aiming target is
centered in the aiming window. Tighten the set screws to 20 ft.-lbs when the
final horizontal position is set.
STEP 2:
Route the supplied cord to the electrical junction box provided by oth-ers.
Make electrical connections per the Electrical Connection section (pg.1)
inside junction box. Replace junction box gasket and cover.
NOTE: Electrical connections can be made after installation.

adjusted within the limits of the aiming diagram (pg. 1) in 5° increments.
STEP 4:
To adjust the vertical angle, loosen the 1/2–13 X 1.75” sock-et cap bolt
located in slip fitter Arm. (Do NOT remove bolt.) Loosen only enough to allow
rotation of cast teeth.

Using the aiming sight and the degree indicators shown as a guide, rotate
vertically the luminaire to the desired posi-tion and retighten the bolt
loosened in Step 7 to 47 ft.-lbs.
YOK—Yoke Mount
STEP 1:
Place Yoke bracket in location desired and secure to surface with a minimum of
qty. 2 1/2” bolts or studs provided by others. See yoke mount detail above and
mount using 12” or 20” spacing depending on luminaire size. Note that 0.78”
O.D. (25/32” or 20mm) center hole can also be used for mounting in addition to
BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY WITHOUT other two bolts.
STEP 2:
Route the supplied cord to the electrical junction box provided by others.
STEP 3:
Make electrical connections per Electrical Connection section (pg. 1) inside
junction box.
STEP 4: Replace junction box gasket and cover.
NOTE: Electrical Connections can be made after installation is finished.
- Angle adjustment can be made before luminaire installation.
STEP 5:
After the luminaire is installed, the vertical angle of the luminaire can be
adjusted within the limits of the aiming diagram on pg. 4.
STEP 6:
To adjust the vertical angle, loosen both 1/2”–13 X 1.25” hex head bolts
attaching Yoke Arm. (Do NOT remove bolts.) Loosen only enough to allow
rotation of the luminiare.
STEP 7:
Using the built in aiming sight at the top edge of the luminaire and the
degree indicators shown as a guide, rotate vertically the luminaire to the
desired position and retighten the bolts loosened in Step 6 to 35 ft.-lbs.
