INGRADE SOIL INSTALLATION:
PRECAUTION:
Luminaire is not submersible and adequate drainage
must be provided during installation. It is recommended the luminaire be
surrounded by 3” to 4” of pea gravel or sand to assure proper drainage.
Top of luminaire must be above grade so rain and irrigation water will not
accumulate for long periods of time.
1. To prevent electrical shock, turn main power off at circuit breaker.
2. Dig hole approximately 10” in diameter to a depth suitable to make top
of temporary cover plate ¾” above grade (see fig. 1). Pea gravel or sand
is recommended for seating the luminaire housing.
3. Connect conduit to housing. UL listed flexible conduit is recommended
for in and out connections to ease fixture positioning.
4. Plug any unused NPT holes with closure plugs (provided).
5. Position fixture within hole and back-fill with pea gravel or sand.
6. Pull electrical supply wires (line in) through conduit and luminaire. Pull
wires and make a 6” loop, long enough for manual connections with
safety connectors (4” to 6” above the top rim of luminaire).
CONCRETE POUR INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Temporary cover plate (purchased seperately) and
vinyl label must remain in place during housing installation.
PRECAUTION:
Vinyl label and top of temporary cover plate must be at
finished grade.
1. To prevent electrical shock, turn main power off at circuit breaker.
2. Dig hole approximately 10” in diameter to a depth suitable to make top
of fixture flush grade (see fig. 2). Pea gravel or sand is recommended for
seating the luminaire housing.
3. Connect conduit to housing. UL listed flexible conduit is recommended
for in and out connections to ease fixture positioning.
4. Plug any unused NPT holes with closure plugs (provided).
5. Position fixture within hole and back-fill with pea gravel or sand.
6. To keep housing from floating, affix to rebar or grid-wire using standard
masonry methods.
7. Pour concrete at least 2” thick. Trowel concrete so that it is even with
vinyl label. Allow concrete to cure.
8. To pull supply conductor wiring, remove and retain vinyl label and
temporary cover plate.
9. Pull electrical supply wires (line-in) through conduit and luminaire. Pull
wires and make a 6” loop, long enough for manual connections with
safety connectors (4” to 6” above the top rim of luminaire).
10. Stuff wire loop into housing and reinstall temporary cover plate and
vinyl label.
