FIXTURE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS
1. Use the installation drawing as a guide. Install mounting
hood first as all wiring connections are made in the
mounting hood. The fixture unit requires no internal
wiring connections.
• Install mounting hood to conduit system (and/or wall,
ceiling or stanchion). If using pendant or stanchion
mounting hood, secure the hood to the conduit system
with the set screw.
2. Remove the connection block (VPT7) from the mounting
hood by loosening (but not removing) the two Phillips head
screws. Turn connection block counter-clockwise to remove.
3. When using ceiling bracket, long wall bracket, or short
wall bracket, mounting hoods, threaded adapter
(59064050000) can be removed by lifting gasket
(59064034000) to access set screw.
• Loosen set screw and turn adapter counter-clockwise for
easier access to junction box. If long bracket (AALB-)
is being used, bracket can be removed from junction box
by loosening set screw in flange and turning
counter-clockwise.
4. Pull supply wires from the conduit into the junction box.
Make connection of supply wires to the VPT-7 connection
block by attaching "HOT" voltage lead to the black wire
and common "neutral" lead to the white wire on the
connection block.
5. Secure threaded adapter (where applicable) or long
bracket (where applicable) to junction box and tighten
all set screws.
6. Secure VPT-7 connection block to threaded adapter or
mounting hood by slipping over Phillips head screws,
turning clockwise and tightening screws.
7. Inspect threads of mounting hoods and the fixture unit to be
sure they are clean and free of damage.
• Inspect globe for any chips, scratches or cracks.
CAUTION GENERAL
Chipped, scratched or cracked
globes will fail. Replace any
such defective lamp housing.
8. Thread the fixture unit into mating threads of
mounting hood until tight against gasket of mounting
hood. Locking spring of fixture unit should engage with
notches on mounting hood.
9. Install guard and/or reflector if desired. Check tightness of
set screws and all threaded joints. Activate supply circuit
