• Torque wrench with 9/16″ shallow socket
• 9/64″ Allen Wrench
• Optional: 9/64″ Allen bit with driver

Use:

• Used to quickly snug luminaire mounting bolts
• Used for final torque of luminaire mounting bolts
• Used to remove mounting door screw
• For faster removal/install in lieu of Allen wrench

• 3. Place the luminaire onto the top bolt by passing the head and washer through the key slot (figure 3a) and lowering the luminaire down securely in place (figure 3b & 3c). Snug bolt but do not torque to spec until bottom bolt is installed.
  WARNING: THE LUMINAIRE IS NOT COMPLETELY SECURED YET.
  SPECIAL CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID JARRING THE LUMINAIRE FROM ITS RESTING POINT

• 5. After leveling fixture and ensuring no wires are pinched, tighten both hex bolts to the slide nut assembly with a 9/16” socket on a torque wrench (figure 4).

Torque Spec: 20-30 ft-lbs.

• 6. Insert the wires from the fixture through the center hole of the pattern on the pole, pulling them into the pole. Make all wiring connections via the supplied wire leads in accordance with NEC and local codes. Ensure that wires are not pinched or bound.
• 7. Make wire connections in the pole, observing proper voltage and polarity. Connect green ground wire from the fixture to the field ground wire. Secure wires, push back into pole, and replace pole cap.
• 8. Reinstall wire access cover using 9/64” hex bit by securing lip (figure 5a) to matching feature on door (figure 5b) and then hinging into place, tighten bolt (figure 5c). Torque Spec: 15-20 in-lbs.

Wall Mount Bracket (WBA)

1. CAUTION: APPLY A CONTINUOUS BEAD OF WEATHER–PROOF CAULKING BETWEEN MOUNTING BASE PLATE AND WALL TO ENSURE WEATHER–TIGHT INTEGRITY OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

2. Secure base plate to wall with (4) 1/4” diameter fasteners (by others) using the (4) holes located on the outer corners of the base plate oriented as shown with the embossed part number on the top (figure 10). Check the base plate to confirm that it is level and plumb in all directions.

3. Prepare the cover plate by verifying the factory installed gasket is in place on the backside of the cover plate (figure 11).

4. Orient the curved portion of the cover plate should point upwards when mounted to the wall (figure 12).

5. Open the luminaire carton and locate the 2″ long, 3/8” diameter bolts (2) and the threaded steel bar from the wall bracket kit (figure 13).

6. On the underneath side of the luminaire, remove the wire access cover and set aside for reinstallation (figure 14).

7. Insert the 3/8” bolts through the back wall of the luminaire arm, through the cover plate, and then thread into the threaded steel bar, simultaneously pulling the wires through the center hole. The luminaire is supplied with a clearance slot in the back to allow wires to be pulled into the WBA cover plate (figure 15). Tighten the two bolts with a 9/16” hex socket.
   Torque Spec: 20-30 ft-lbs.

8. Make sure that wires are not pinched and tuck excess wire up into the luminaire mounting area. Reinstall the wire access cover from step 7 (figure 14), and tighten the captive screws with the 9/64 Allen wrench.

11. Now tighten the bottom (2) 3/8” x 1-1/4” stainless steel recessed hex set screws until 3/8” to 1/4” of the screw threads are still visible.

12. Now alternating between the top two and bottom two set screws, gently tighten until snug (approximately one thread will remain showing on each screw). Torque Spec: 10-12 ft-lbs.

House-side Shield (HS) Installation

Tools driver/bit required: T15 TORX

1. Remove and discard the T15 TORX screws holding the light engine to the fixture as shown in Figure 1. Hold the light engine securely in place during the next step.

2. Place a House-side Shield over the frame on the light engine and align the holes on the shield with the holes on the light engine.

3. If the fixture has light engines with 2 rows of LEDs, also referred to as a 20-LED light engine, the house-side shield may need to be broken along the scored line in the field before mounting as shown in Figure 2. Bend repeatedly along line to separate. Discard the smaller panel.

4. Assemble the shield to the light engine using the supplied screws. Fixtures with 20-LED light engines will use 6 screws per light engine, fixtures with 30-LED light engines will use 8.
   Torque screws to 8-15 in-lbs.

5. Repeat steps 1-3 as needed.
   External Glare Shield-Reversible (EGSR) installation

Tools required: Phillips #2 screwdriver

1. Remove and discard the four existing screws as shown in figure 1 from the sheet metal skirt surrounding the light engines.

2. Reference Figures 2 and 3 to determine orientation of External Glare shield.
   Figure 2: blocks forward glare. Figure 3: blocks rearward glare.

3. Place an EGSR on the light engine, aligning the holes in the EGSR with the holes in the sheet metal skirt. (figure 1)

4. Attach the shield to the light engine using the supplied screws. Torque Spec: 15-20 in-lbs

Bird Spike Deterrent-Bracketed (BSDB) Installation

Tools required: marker pen, #32 drill bit (or equivalent), drill, ¼ hex driver, side cutters.

1. Place bird spike bracket on fixture. Use marker to mark holes for screws through bird spike bracket (figure 1). Hole placement is crucial

2. See figure 2 (DSX0), figure 3 (DSX1), and figure 4 (DSX2), on the next page, for approximate hole placement, shown with red circles. The rearmost hole must conform to the below table to ensure the sealed compartment is not compromised. Measure hole placement from mounting side surface to ensure hole placement is closer to mounting side surface than the given dimension

3. Predrill screw holes with a #32 drill bit (or equivalent) completely through the casting (figure 1)
   CAUTION: Hole placement is crucial. Failure to properly drill holes will cause premature fixture failure and will void warranty.

4. Fasten bird spike bracket to luminaire housing with included screws (figure 1).

5. Fasten bird spike strips (figure 5) to bird spike bracket using included screws. Trim excess bird spikes by cutting plastic strip between spikes with side cutters
