Hinkley Lumacore Lighting Fixture: Assembly, Wiring, and Installation Guide

Junction Box Cover Installation

Item No: 5536

This fixture can be installed to ground using an appropriate 120V rated burial post, or it can be installed to a junction box using the cover instructions listed below.

Diagram 1: Junction Box Cover Installation Steps

This diagram illustrates the junction box cover installation. It shows a junction box (labeled 1), a junction box cover (labeled 2) with a gasket (labeled 5), screws (labeled 3), a conduit nut (labeled 6), and the fixture (labeled 4). The steps detail how to attach the cover and gasket to the junction box, then thread the conduit nut onto the fixture, pass fixture wires through the cover, make connections, and finally attach the fixture to the cover.

1. Install the Lumacore engine into the enclosure, then twist the engine to lock it into place. (Refer to Drawing 3 for engine assembly).
2. Place the guard over the Lumacore engine. (Refer to Drawing 2 for component identification).
3. Ensure the junction box power is turned off.
4. Secure the junction box cover (2) and gasket (5) to the junction box (1) using screws (3).
5. Thread the conduit nut (6) onto the fixture (4).
6. Slip the fixture wires through the hole in the center of the junction box cover (2) and make the necessary wiring connections between the junction box (1) and the fixture (4). Refer to IS-18 on the second page for detailed wiring instructions.
7. Next, thread the fixture (4) onto the junction box cover (2). Use the conduit nut to tighten the fixture (4) securely into place.
8. The fixture can now be powered on.

Wiring and Grounding Instructions (IS 18)

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

Outdoor Fixtures

1. Connect the positive supply wire (A) (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to the positive fixture lead (B) using an appropriately sized twist-on connector. Refer to Drawings 2 or 3.
2. Connect the negative supply wire (C) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to the negative fixture lead (D).

Note for Wall Mount Fixtures: 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.

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

Grounding Instructions

Flush Mount Fixtures

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

Loop the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) under the head of the ground screw (S) on the fixture mounting strap (M). Connect the loose end of the fixture ground wire directly to the ground wire of the building system using appropriately sized twist-on connectors. (See Drawing 2).

Post-Mount Fixtures

Connect the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to the power supply ground using an appropriately sized twist-on connector inside the post.

Diagram Descriptions for Wiring/Grounding

Diagram 1 (Flush Mount): Illustrates connecting the supply wires (A, C) to fixture leads (B, D) using twist-on connectors (labeled M for mounting strap, S for ground screw) and connecting the ground wire (E) to the mounting strap (M) via the ground screw (S).

Diagram 2 (Chain Hung): Shows supply wires (A, C) connecting to fixture leads (B, D). It also depicts looping the ground wire (E) under the ground screw (S) on the mounting strap (M) for connection to the building's ground wire.

Diagram 3 (Post-Mount): Illustrates connecting supply wires (A, C) to fixture leads (B, D) and connecting the ground wire (E) to the power supply ground within the post.

Assembly Instructions

Item Numbers: 30G4SE-120V and 27G4SE-120

Engine Assembly

Start Here

Visual Description: Diagram 1 shows the 'Engine' (E) and 'Optic' (O) components being fitted together.

1. To prepare the fixture for the lamp, you must first assemble the engine.
2. Take the optic (O) and push it into the top of the engine (E), then twist it into place. Note: The engine optic (O) is available in 3 types.
3. Hold the Lumacore with the Hinkley Logo facing you for readability. The rotational switch (A) can be adjusted using your fingers or a small flat-bladed screwdriver. Rotate the switch until it stops. For reference, the wattage settings correspond roughly to the hours on a standard clock face. (Refer to Diagram 2 for adjustment).

LED Wattage Adjustment

Visual Description: Diagram 2 depicts the LED wattage adjustment mechanism. It highlights the Hinkley logo and the rotational switch (A), explaining that it adjusts wattage settings, analogous to clock hours.

Fixture Assembly Example

Visual Description: Diagram 3 provides an example of the final fixture assembly, showing the 'Engine' being placed into the 'Enclosure', with the 'Guard' and 'Optional Performance Lenses' also visible.

1. After the engine is assembled, you can lamp the fixture by pushing the engine into place inside the enclosure.
2. Complete the assembly by reassembling the fixture. (See Drawing 3).
