CAUTION: RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE
- Never connect components under load.
- Do not mount or support these fixtures in a manner that can cut the outer jacket or damage wire insulation.
- Controls for dimming, auto-sensing, or remote control of a luminaire that 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 the fixture in its intended location.
- LED products are Polarity Sensitive. Ensure proper Polarity before installation.
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): ESD can damage LED fixtures. Personal grounding equipment must be worn during all installation or servicing of the unit.
- Do not touch individual electrical components as this can cause ESD, shorten lamp life, or alter performance.
- Some components inside the fixture may not be serviceable. In the unlikely event, your unit may require service, stop using the unit immediately and contact an ABL representative for assistance.
- Always read the fixture’s complete installation instructions prior to installation for any additional fixture-specific warnings.

Lithonia Lighting distributor before installing them.
NOTE: Horizontal mounting of a fixture with the photocontrol receptacle
option (PER)– Section C136.10 ANSI, 4.5.2–The seat of the receptacle shall be
mounted as close to horizontally as possible. If it deviates more than 45°
from horizontal, the integrity of the seal may be affected when a control
device is installed.
Tools Required: 9/64” and 3/16” hex key. 1/4″ and 5/16” hex socket,
regular screwdriver
Mounting
Threaded Knuckle Mount (THK): DSXF1 and DSXF2 Knuckle (1/2″ NPT threaded nipple) or DSXF3 (3/4″ NPT threaded nipple) mount directly to compatible NPTF apparatus. Secure the knuckle to desired mounting apparatus by tightening the locknut (not included). To adjust the tilt angle of the fixture, loosen the 3/16” hex key screw. Adjust as necessary and retighten to 75 in-lbs. Supply leads exit the knuckle mount to make connections in the wiring compartment (not provided).
Yoke Mount (YK)
For the center hole, it is recommended to use a 5/8” bolt with corresponding lock washer and nut. For the outer two holes or slots, it is recommended to use ½” bolts with corresponding lock washers and nuts. NOTE: Mounting hardware is not included and it is up to the installer to determine the most appropriate hardware for the desired mounting location. To adjust the tilt angle of the fixture, loosen the hex socket screw on each side of the yoke. While holding weight of fixture, remove hexhead set screw, adjust as necessary and reinstall in appropriate matching hole. If a non-standard angle is desired, adjust to angle and center punch inside yoke bracket and drill a .147in(#26) hole. Drive self-tapping hexhead set screw into new hole. Once the appropriate angle is set, tighten hex socket set screws to 75in-lbs. Make the supply connections to the 16-3 cord supplied.
SXF1/DSXF2/DSXF3 (ships installed): Remove the access cover plate to the integral wiring compartment using a 1/4″ hex socket or regular screwdriver. Slip integral slipfitter onto tenon ensuring that the wires are pulled through the integral wiring compartment without pinching. Secure the slipfitter to the tenon by tightening the 3/16” hex socket set screws to 12 ft-lbs. To adjust the tilt angle of the fixture, loosen the 5/16” hex socket screw above the integral wiring compartment. Adjust as necessary and retighten to 75 in-lbs. Make supply connections through the integral wiring compartment. There are two wiring compartment cover plates, one without through hole and one that includes 7/8″ through hole. If supply wires are coming through inside of tenon, use the cover plate without through hole. Use the plate with through hole if supply wires are being routed from a source outside of the tenon, such as surface or flexible conduit. When using the plate with through hole, use connectors rated for liquid-tight sealing. Push wires into the compartment. Re-install the access cover plate.
Shielding Options
Attach with the 8-32 thread-forming screws (provided) using the pre-drilled holes in the doorframe. Should the doorframe holes need be cleared for any reason, drill no deeper than 1/4″ with a .147″ (#26) diameter drill.
Tenon Slipfitter (DSXF1/2TS) Installation
Attach DSXF1/2TS to fixture’s threaded 1/2″ knuckle. Secure to the top end of 1-1/4” to 2” pipe by tightening set screws to 12 ft.-lbs and lock down with jam nuts.
nLight AIR rIO: Only available in DSXF2
