3. Setup (Installation)
This outdoor lighting fixture is designed for easy mounting to a junction box and is suitable for eave or wall-mount only. Make sure power is turned off before proceeding with installation.
Installation Steps:
- Install the Cross Bar to the Junction Box using the two provided screws.
- Position the Gasket on the back of the Mounting Plate, routing wires through the center of the Gasket.
- To ground the fixture, connect the house supply ground wire and the fixture ground (green & yellow wire) to the Green Ground Screw on the Cross Bar. (Note: If house wiring does not include a ground wire, consult your local electrical code for approved grounding methods.)
- Use Wirenuts to connect the black fixture wire to the black house power supply wire and the white fixture wire to the white (neutral) house supply wire. (Note: For proper connection, place Wirenut over wires and twist clockwise until tight.)
- Remove the Nut from the center of the Cross Bar. Align the Nipple with the hole in the center of the Mounting Plate and secure with the Nut.
- Install two (2) PAR Lamps (not included) and adjust the lampholders to illuminate the desired area. (Note: Position lampholders below horizontal to avoid water getting into the lampholders.)
- Turn on electricity at the fuse or circuit breaker box and verify successful installation.
4. Operating Instructions
The OFTH Twin PAR Holder features a built-in dusk-to-dawn photocell sensor. This sensor automatically turns the lights on at dusk when ambient light levels fall below a certain threshold and turns them off at dawn when sufficient natural light is detected. This provides hands-free convenience and helps conserve energy.
- Automatic Operation: Once installed and powered, the photocell will manage the light's on/off cycles based on natural light.
- Adjustable Heads: The tool-free adjustable heads allow for up/down and side-to-side aiming, enabling you to direct light precisely where needed for optimal illumination and security.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your flood light fixture.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs. Use only outdoor-rated PAR medium base flood light bulbs up to 150W.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
