Do not install where the marked operating temperatures exceed
the ignition temperature of the hazardous atmosphere.
Do not operate in ambient temperatures above those indicated
on the luminaire nameplate.
Install luminaire with lamp base up within 25º of vertical position.
Use only the lamp and wattage specified on the luminaire
nameplate.
Use proper supply wiring as specified on the luminaire

WARNING
To avoid explosions: On ballasts with multiple supply voltage
taps (MT, TT, MV, etc), all unused leads must be capped with
closed end wire connectors.
5. Close ballast housing onto cover module making sure that all
wires are safely inside and positioned away from the ballast
area. Tighten captive closing screw to 30 in.-lbs. (3.4 N-m).

10.For luminaire with GR series refractor or GRD4 reflector lens
IF 210
see instructions below and refer to the instructions supplied
with these components.
11. Installation is now complete and power may be turned on.

WIRE GUARD INSTALLATION

1. To install wire guard, place over globe and press into position
over retaining bosses on the luminaire housing adaptor ring.
2. To remove guard, carefully pry open guard at the retaining
bosses and pull off.

LAMP INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect power to luminaire and allow to cool completely.
2. • For luminaires with G303 globe, unthread and remove
globe for access to lamp. It is not necessary to remove the
guard.
• For luminaires with GR/PGR series refractor, DO NOT
loosen clamp ring screw. Remove the entire refractor
• For luminaires with GRD4 reflector lens, unlatch hinged
glass lens assembly and swing down out of way. Entire
reflector lens does not have to be removed.
3. Remove lamp.
4. Perform cleaning and inspection as noted in the
MAINTENANCE section.
5. Screw new lamp into lampholder and hand tighten securely.
New lamp must be identical type, size and wattage as marked
on the luminaire nameplate.
CAUTION
To prevent ballast damage on high pressure sodium
luminaires, replace burned out lamps as soon as possible.
To avoid shortened lamp life, lampholder failure, wiring
faults or ballast failure, secure lamp firmly and completely.
To avoid injury, guard against lamp breakage.
6. Thoroughly clean or replace the globe gasket seal.
7. Apply a small amount of HTL® Lubricant to the threads of the
globe.

hand tighten securely. For reflector lens, swing lens up and
relatch. For more information refer to the GUARD
INSTALLATION or REFRACTOR INSTALLATION section as
appropriate.
9. Restore power.

REFLECTOR INSTALLATION

Both dome and 30° angle reflectors incorporate an innovative
design that requires no tools or attachment hardware.
1. Place the reflector in position on the luminaire housing
adapter ring. When correctly placed, all three tabs of reflector
will rest on areas marked "Place Reflector Tab Here" on
adapter ring. See figure 3.
Page 1 IF 210 • 01/05
2. Rotate reflector clockwise so that the three tabs slide under
captivating bosses on adapter ring. See figure 4.
To avoid injury, do not lean on luminaire or use it as a support.
Make sure that footing is secure while installing reflector.
FIGURE 4
3. Continue to rotate reflector clockwise until reflector tabs
engage final captivating bosses and the reflector "snaps into
position. See figure 5.
4. When correctly installed, the position labels inside the
reflector will be aligned with the "STOP" indicator on adapter
ring.

by placing over lamp and hand tighten onto ballast housing.
3. Follow the instruction furnished with refractor and reflector
lens for complete installation and adjustment information.

MAINTENANCE

• Perform visual, electrical, and mechanical inspections on a
regular basis. The environment and frequency of use should
determine this. However, it is recommended that checks be
made at least once a year. We recommend an Electrical
Preventive Maintenance Program as described in the National
Fire Protection Association Bulletin NFPA No. 70B:
Recommended Practice For Electrical Equipment
Maintenance (www.nfpa.org).
• The globe (and guard and reflector when used), refractor or
reflector lens should be cleaned periodically to insure
continued lighting performance. To clean, wipe the reflector,
then the globe with a clean damp cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a mild soap or a liquid cleaner such as Collinite
NCF or Duco #7. Do not use an abrasive, strong alkaline, or
acid cleaner. Damage may result.
• Visually check for undue heating evidenced by discoloration
of wires or other components, damaged parts, or leakage
evidenced by water or corrosion in the interior. Replace all
worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components and clean
gasket seals before putting the luminaire back into service.
• Electrically check to make sure that all connections are clean
and tight.
• Mechanically check that all parts are properly assembled.
