Installation & Operation

Flexible Arm Mounting:
This fixture can be mounted to a pole with an adapter mounting plate that is included. The flexible arm can be aimed 0 to 60° both
upward and downward in 20° increments (see FIG. 1). The mounting plate has a slot pattern that will cover many existing hole patterns on poles, install in accordance with FIG. 3. If there is no existing hole pattern or the holes are outside of the slot range on the pole, drill holes according to the pattern in FIG. 2.
Different adapters are available, including square pole adapter, 3” round pole adapter (RPA), 4” RPA, and 5” RPA.

Tighten the nut plate and adapter on the pole. (See FIG. 3)
Insert the fixture into the adapter. (See FIG. 4）
Tighten the 4pcs M8 20 bolts on the flexible arm and secure it to the adapter. Connect the power leads properly according to the wiring diagrams below. Make wiring connections inside the flexible arm, and tighten the bottom cover with 4pcs M412 screws (see FIG. 5). The wiring connections can also be made inside the pole.
To aim the fixture, loosen the M12x40 center knuckle bolt on the arm, adjust the aim 0 to 60° both upward and downward
(see FIG. 6)
Inspect installation to ensure fixture is secure.

Slipfitter Mounting:
This fixture can be mounted 0 to 60° in either direction aiming in 20 increments (see FIG. 7)

Connect the power leads properly, make the wiring connections (see Wiring Diagrams below) and lay the wires in the pole. Once completed, insert the slipfitter onto the pole (see FIG. 8).
Tighten the four M8x25 bolts on the slipfitter and secure it to the pole (see FIG. 9).
To aim the fixture, loosen the M12x40 center knuckle bolt on the arm, adjust the aim 0 to 60° in either direction (see FIG. 10)
Inspect installation to ensure fixture is secure.

Fixed Arm Mounting:
This fixture can be mounted to a pole with an adapter mounting plate that is included. The mounting plate has a slot pattern that
will cover many existing hole patterns on poles, install in accordance with FIG. 3. If there is no existing hole pattern or the holes are outside of the slot range on the pole, drill holes according to the pattern in FIG. 2.
Different adapters are available, including square pole adapter, 3”round pole adapter (RPA), 4”RPA, and 5”RPA.

Tighten the nut plate and adapter on the pole. (see FIG. 3)
Insert the fixture onto the adapter (see. FIG. 11)
Tighten the four M8*20 bolts on the fixed arm and secure it to the adapter. Connect the power leads properly (see Wiring Diagrams below), make wiring connections inside the fixed arm, and secure the bottom cover with screws (see FIG. 12). The wiring connections can also be made inside the pole.
Inspect installation to ensure fixture is secure.

Trunnion Mounting:

This fixture can be mounted to a tenon pole or tenon adapter.

Tighten the fixture to the tenon pole or tenon adapter by two M12 bolts (see FIG. 14).
Loosen the center bolts and the adjusting screws on the sides of the trunnion mount. Adjust the fixture to the desired angle, maximum is 60° (see FIG. 15).
Make wiring connections (see Wiring Diagrams below).
Inspect installation to ensure fixture is secure.

Wall Mounting Bracket:

The fixture can be configured to mount to wall.

Loosen the 4 M5*12 screws as FIG. 16, then take off the back plate of the bracket.
If the wires need to go through the 1/2 NPT knockout hole on the bracket back plate, remove the knockout plug.
Drill holes on the bracket back plate based on the junction box pattern used in the application. Fix the bracket back plate to the wall with four screws (see FIG. 17)
Fix one end of the metal cord to the bracket back plate with a screw, and attach the other end of the cord to the fixture
(see FIG. 18). This is for safety while making wiring connections and can be removed afterwards.
Connect the power leads to the driver compartment. Take off the metal cord from the bottom bracket and fixture. Tighten the fixture to the wall by the 4 M5*12 Screws. (see FIG. 19).
Use side knockout hole for conduit installation (see FIG. 20).
