For new installations, refer to Diagram 1 for the drilling pattern. Note that the standard arm can be mounted on up to a 4-7/8” hole pattern as shown in Diagram 2.
  2. Install the arm using the provided hardware: (2x) 3/8-16 x 3” bolt, split washer, flat washer, and 3/8”-16 nut. Torque the bolts to 20 ft-lbs. Refer to picture number 2 for the correct installation order.
  3. For retrofit installations or when the mounting holes are larger than .41 (10mm), it is recommended to use the bolster plate kit OPF-RMB. Torque the bolts to 20 ft-lbs.
  4. To avoid pinching or crushing, fold the fixture wires towards the front. Slide the fixture onto the mounting arm. Tighten the mounting bolt using (2x) 1/4”-20 UNC x 3/4” bolt, split washer, and flat washer. Torque the bolts to 130 in-lbs. Repeat the torque operation until the torque is constant.
  5. Once the luminaire is installed and the hardware is properly torqued, make the necessary supply wiring connections according to the appropriate wiring diagram. Note that 0-10V and override wires are optional, and wire nuts must be supplied by others.
