are not factory-wired to the luminaire must be checked for compatibility with
the luminaire prior to installation. 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.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two con- ditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: APPLY A CONTINUOUS BEAD OF WEATHER – PROOF CAULKING BETWEEN
MOUNTING PLATE AND WALL TO ENSURE WEATHER – TIGHT INTEGRITY OF ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
Tools Required: 3/16″ allen wrench or hex key, 1/4″ hex nut driver, level.
5/16″ wrench for step 8.
Note: SRM mounting option is designed for face down installation only. May be
inverted with ICW mounting option in dry/damp location.
Installation of the fixture in any position other than what is indicated with
the supplied instructions will void all warranties. 
-
Use the 3/16” allen wrench or hex key to detach the wall mounting plate from the fixture by removing the 1/4”-20 x 1 hex socket cap screws (x 2).
Use the 1/4” hex nut driver to remove the 8-32 x 0.25 hex head screws (x 3) and remove the retainer plate. Separate the wall mounting plate from the fixture, by un-hooking the wire form from the wall mounting plate.
-
Position the wall mounting plate over the j-box. Attach the plate to the j-box using screws that came with the j-box. (see the chart on the next page for fixture weights)
Level the mounting plate prior to tightening.
Secure the wall mounting plate to the wall, using (4) 1/4″ diameter fasteners (not provided).
When mounting to Back Box, remove gasket from wall mounting plate.
Note: Unless the j-box is rated to structurally support the

Hang the fixture, to the wall mounting plate, by the wire form.
Note: Protect the fixture surface from the wall it is being installed on, to prevent scratching/marring the fixture finish.
Secure
the wire form by attaching the retainer plate to the wall mounting plate,
using the 8-32 x 0.25 hex head screws (x3), from step 1, and 1/4” hex nut
driver. -
Ensure the line voltage at the fixture is correct.
Make all necessary wiring connections.
When equipped with internal battery pack, it is important that the power to the Red wire is supplied from an un-switched circuit, to ensure proper operation of emergency lighting.
Note: Only fixtures with dual switching (DS) and no PE, or internal battery pack (E7WH, E10WH, E15WH, E20WC) will use un-switched line (red wire). For all other configurations, the red wire can be capped.
Push all the wires and wire nuts into the j-box. -
Lift the fixture all the way up and push it towards the wall, to engage the hooks (2) on the retainer plate with the slots (2) on the fixture mounting plate.
Make sure the wires are not getting pinched.
May have to move the fixture horizontally to center it and allow the hooks to engage. Push down on the fixture slightly to ensure that the hooks are properly engaged.
-
Secure the fixture to the wall mounting plate using the 1/4”-20 x 1 hex socket cap screws (x 2), from step 1, and 3/16” allen wrench.
Make sure to locate the screws behind retaining notches before tightening them. Tighten the screws to 10 to 15 in-lbs torque.
-
For fixtures with E4WH or E20WC internal emergency battery packs only:
Consult catalog description to make sure the fixture has one of the two emergency battery packs listed above.
THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE DOOR OF THE FIXTURE IF THERE IS NO INTERNAL BATTERY PACK OR IF IT IS EQUIPPED WITH E10WH OR E15WH BATTERY PACKS.
Prior to supplying electricity to installed fixture, loosen 4 hex-socket head screws (use 5/32 hex key) on the door and remove door from housing.
Allow door to hang from internal tethers.
Connect internal battery connector to allow emergency battery to function.
E4WH option: connect internal harness to harness coming from test switch installed on the door.
E20WC option: connect the two red wires via the mating connector or connect the black and red wires via the mating connector.
Reinstall door.
After supplying power to the fixture, allow up to 24 hours for internal battery pack to charge before testing. -
For fixtures with NLTAIR2 only:
Remove the antenna that is taped to the inside of the packaging or to the luminaire.
Screw on the antenna on to the brass thread connector on the top of the luminaire. Tighten it using an 5/16″ wrench (crescent wrench ok). Torque the antenna to 3-5 in-lbs.
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.
