Mounting Instructions

Start Here

NOTE: Prior to installation, ensure you have the appropriate hardware for attaching the mounting bracket to the material it will be installed. (Example: if attaching to a mortar or concrete pier top, ensure appropriate masonry fasteners are purchased). If using screws or bolts 1/4" dia. is recommended.

Drawing 1 shows the fixture base, mounting bracket (1), screws (2) securing the bracket to the base, and long slotted holes (H) in the bracket for mounting screws (S).

1. To begin installation, it is necessary to remove the mounting bracket (1) from the base of the fixture. This is accomplished by removing the two screws (2) from the base. Set screws aside in a safe place for use later.
2. To mount your fixture onto the top of a flat surface, first determine the location where you want the mounting bracket installed.
3. Using the long slotted holes [H] in the mounting bracket (1) as a guide, mark the location where you want to install the mounting screws [S] (not provided).
4. After holes are marked, follow the instructions for the fasteners you have purchased to install the mounting bracket to the pier top.
5. Next, make all necessary wiring connections following instruction sheet IS-18 provided.
6. After wires are connected, attach fixture to mounting bracket by slipping the base over the bracket, aligning holes in the side of the base to threaded holes in the mounting bracket. Now thread in screws removed earlier.

Mounting Fixture on a Pyramid Shaped Pier Top

This fixture can be mounted on a pyramid-style pier top. Please note: the center hole in the bracket should not touch the top of the pier when the mounting bracket is reversed - see Drawing 2.

Drawing 2 - Mounting Option 2 illustrates an alternative mounting scenario, showing a 'spacer' (not provided), the mounting bracket (1) with slotted holes (H), and a screw (S).

1. It will be necessary to reverse the mounting bracket (1) so the tabs on the ends point down.
2. Using the long slotted holes [H] in the mounting bracket (1) as a guide, mark the location where you want to install the mounting screws [S] (not provided).
3. After holes are marked, follow the instructions for the fasteners you have purchased to install the mounting bracket (1) to the pier top. But to prevent the mounting bracket (1) from bending when tightening the hardware, a spacer (not provided) must be used between the bracket and the slanted surface of the pier top.
4. Next, make all necessary wiring connections following instruction sheet IS-18 provided.
5. After wires are connected, attach fixture to mounting bracket by slipping the base over the bracket, aligning holes in the side of the base to threaded holes in the mounting bracket. Now thread in screws removed earlier.

Wiring and Grounding Instructions

Safety Warning

SAFETY WARNING: READ WIRING AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (IS 18) AND ANY ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS. TURN POWER SUPPLY OFF DURING INSTALLATION. IF NEW WIRING IS REQUIRED, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR CODE REQUIREMENTS.

Wiring Instructions

Indoor Fixtures

1. Connect positive supply wire [A] (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead [B] with an appropriately sized [twist-on connector] - see Drawings 1 or 2.
2. Connect negative supply wire [C] (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead [D].
3. Please refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical connections.

Outdoor Fixtures

1. Connect positive supply wire [A] (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead [B] with an appropriately sized [twist-on connector] - see Drawings 2 or 3.
2. Connect negative supply wire [C] (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead [D].
3. Cover open end of connectors with [silicone sealant] to form a watertight seal.

If installing a wall mount fixture, use [caulk] to seal gaps between the fixture mounting plate (backplate) and the wall. This will help prevent water from entering the outlet box. If the wall surface is lap siding, use [caulk] and a fixture mounting platform specially.

4. Please refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical connections.

Grounding Instructions

Flush Mount Fixtures

Drawing 1 shows a flush mount setup with supply wire, twist-on connectors, fixture leads, fixture ground wire [E], mounting strap [M], and ground screw [S].

For positive grounding in a 3-wire [electrical system], fasten the fixture ground wire [E] (typically copper or green plastic coated) to the fixture mounting strap [M] with the ground screw [S] - see Drawing 1. Note: On straps for screw-supported fixtures, first install the two mounting screws in the strap. Any remaining tapped hole may be used for the ground screw.

Chain Hung Fixtures

Drawing 2 shows a chain hung setup with supply wire, twist-on connectors, fixture leads, fixture ground wire [E], mounting strap [M], and ground screw [S].

Loop fixture ground wire [E] (typically copper or green plastic coated) under the head of the ground screw [S] on fixture mounting strap [M] and connect to the loose end of the fixture ground wire directly to the building system's ground wire with appropriately sized [twist-on connectors] - see Drawing 2.

Post-Mount Fixtures

Drawing 3 shows a post-mount setup with supply wire, twist-on connectors, fixture leads, fixture ground wire [E].

Connect fixture ground wire [E] (typically copper or green plastic coated) to power supply ground with appropriately sized [twist-on connector] inside the post. Cover the open end of the connector with [silicone sealant] to form a watertight seal - see Drawing 3.

Caulking Instructions

Start Here

After securing the fixture to the wall, it is recommended that the gap between the wall and the fixture backplate be sealed on the top and both sides, with a good quality waterproof [caulk] or [silicone sealant] (NOT INCLUDED) - see Drawing 1.

Drawing 1 illustrates the caulking process, showing a [caulking gun] applying a bead of caulk to seal the gap.

Drawing 2 shows that after securing the fixture in place, it is recommended that the gap between the mounting top and fixture base be sealed with any good quality waterproof [caulk] or [silicone sealant] (not included). It is also recommended that a small bead of [caulk] or sealant be applied under the [ball knob] used to mount the fixture - see Drawing 2.
