SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
NEMA® Photocontol Receptacle
The fixture requires a supplied shorting cap or a 3-pin or 7-pin NEMA® photocontrol installed in the NEMA® photocontrol receptacle to operate. Never install the fixture without one.
Dimming Capabilities: Dimming functions are accessible via the 7-pin NEMA® receptacle when used with a compatible 7-pin NEMA® photocontrol. Ensure dimming cord leads are capped off if not in use.
Mounting Options
Slip Fitter Mounting
(Requires use of C-AR-A-ALSF Accessory)
Note: Maximum tilt angle is 45°. Fixture is not to be used as an uplight.
- Pass the two fixture cords through the top hole in the lower fitter and out the open end of the lower fitter.
- Gently pull the cords, bring the two halves of the fitter together, and partially tighten the supplied 10 mm bolt with lockwasher and flat washer. Ensure the lockwasher is closest to the bolt head. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Route supply leads up through a 2-3/8" (60 mm) O.D. heavy wall pipe or tenon.
- Splice supply leads to fixture leads per the Electrical Connections section.
- Strain Relief: Required for electrical connections at mounting heights of 25' (7.6 m) and above. Knot supply wires from the pole with the fixture cord inside the pole.
- Route cord and splices into the open end of the tenon, slipping the lower fitter over the pipe/tenon. Avoid pinching leads.
- Aim the fixture and hand-tighten all four Allen head set screws against the tenon's outer wall. Then, gradually tighten them in an "X" pattern to 140 in-lbs (16 N•m).
- Tilt the fixture to the desired angle and tighten the 10mm adjustment bolt between the fitter halves to 32.5 ft-lbs (44 N•m) to lock the slip fitter.

Direct Mount Arm Mounting
(Requires use of C-AR-A-ALDM Accessory)
Note: Maximum tilt angle is 30°. Fixture is not to be used as an uplight.
- Use the template in Figure 9 for pole drilling if the pole is not predrilled (template is not to scale).
- Remove the side cover plate on the arm by taking out the four screws. Set screws and cover aside. Refer to Figure 2 (square poles) and Figure 3 (round poles).
- If a backing plate is attached to the arm, remove the two 8mm bolts and washers to free it.
- Position the backing plate inside the pole, aligning its large hole with the pole's large hole.
- Thread an 8mm bolt with lockwasher and flat washer through the top holes in the arm and pole, into the backing plate's top threaded hole. Do not fully tighten yet. Ensure the lockwasher is closest to the bolt head.
- If mounting to a square pole, place the radius cut gasket between the arm and pole (See Figure 2). Do not use the gasket for 5" to 6" diameter round poles (See Figure 3).
- Repeat step 5 for the second 8mm bolt through the lower hole in the arm, gasket (if applicable), pole, and into the lower hole in the backing plate.
- Tighten both upper and lower bolts to 18 ft-lbs (24.5 N•m).
- Pass the two fixture cords through the slot in the arm's fixture side and into the arm's inner chamber.
- Gently pull the cords through the arm slot, moving the fixture towards the arm to align the lower knuckle area with the upper knuckle area.
- Partially tighten the supplied 10 mm bolt with lockwasher and flat washer to hold the fitter halves together. Ensure the lockwasher is closest to the bolt head. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Pass cord ends through the large hole in the arm, gasket (if applicable), pole, backing plate, and into the pole.
- Make wiring connections to cord leads inside the pole per the Electrical Connection section.
- Strain Relief: Required for electrical connections at mounting heights of 25' (7.6m) and above. Knot supply wires from the pole with fixture cords inside the pole.
- Tilt the fixture to the desired angle and tighten the 10mm adjustment bolt between the knuckle halves to 32.5 ft-lbs (44 N•m).
- Carefully replace the side cover on the arm using the four screws removed in STEP 2. Avoid damaging the arm gasket. Tighten screws to 20 in-lbs (2.5 N•m).
- Replace the pole cap.

- Figure 3 (Round Pole): Shows a round pole with a fixture, pole cap, direct mount arm, bolt, backing plate, and cover. Maximum tilt angle indicated as 30°.
Trunnion Mounting
(Requires use of C-AR-A-ALTR Accessory)
Note: Maximum tilt angle is 45°. Fixture is not to be used as an uplight.
- Use keyhole slots in the trunnion to mark mounting hole locations on the chosen surface.
- Partially thread two 5/16" (8mm) fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface into the surface at the marked locations.
- Feed fixture cords through the slot in the trunnion. See Figure 4.
- Gently pull cords through the trunnion slot, moving the trunnion towards the fixture to align the lower knuckle area with the upper knuckle area. See Figure 5.
- Partially tighten the supplied 10 mm bolt with lockwasher and flat washer to hold the fitter halves together. Ensure the lockwasher is closest to the bolt head. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Bring the fixture to the mounting surface and insert the heads of the 5/16" (8mm) fasteners (from STEP 2) through the keyhole slots in the trunnion.
- Tighten the trunnion to the mounting surface with the two fasteners.
- Tilt the fixture to the desired angle and tighten the 10mm adjustment bolt between the knuckle halves to 32.5 ft-lbs (44 N•m).
- Make wiring connections to cord leads inside the watertight wiring compartment (supplied by others) per the Electrical Connection section.

Electrical Connections
The fixture is equipped with a universal volt driver (120-277V).
Phase to Neutral Wiring (120/277V)
- Connect supply ground to fixture ground (green) lead.
- Connect supply common to fixture neutral (white) lead.
- Connect supply Vin to fixture hot (black) lead.
Tuck all wires carefully into the wiring chamber, ensuring no wires are pinched.
Phase to Phase Wiring (208/240V)
- Connect supply ground to fixture ground (green) lead.
- Connect supply L1 (Hot) to fixture neutral (white) lead.
- Connect supply L2 (Hot) to fixture hot (black) lead.
Tuck all wires carefully into the wiring chamber, ensuring no wires are pinched.
Dimming
Pink (-) and violet (+) leads are for 0-10V dimming systems. Cap off if not used or if dimming is controlled via a 7-pin NEMA photocontrol. Use Class 1 wiring methods for dimming connections.
