Wired-Sync Enabled Lanterns 

 

Wired-Sync enabled lanterns are provided with an 
external ‘pigtail’ cable to permit hard wired 
synchronization of lanterns.  The cable has two 
connections: “WIRED SYNC” and “GND”.  Connect 
the “WIRED SYNC” conductors of all lanterns 
together and connect al

l “GND” conductors together.  

A weather tight junction box should be used.  Be 

sure to configure the SYNC menu options correctly 
for primary or secondary as described elsewhere in 
this manual. 

The M840 lantern will have the wired 

sync wires included as part of the power cable. If 
not using the wired sync function, simply 
terminate the wire ends safely using a wire nut 
or similar device. 

Installing the Bird Deterrent 

 

The 800 series lantern is shipped with a bird 
deterrent in the form of five stainless steel deterrents 
that screw directly into the lantern head. Stainless 
steel screws are included in the product package.  
 
 

 
To prevent damage to the lantern head, 
use only the supplied bird deterrent and 
screw set.
