1.  Select a location on a fl at wall with structurally sound wood and 

from 10 to 25 feet from the ground. The wood should be at least 
one inch thick to safely secure the fi xture.

2.  Attach the cover plate using two large machine screws.

3.  Using the mounting bracket as a template. Hold it at the desired 

mounting location (making sure the bottom is level), and mark 
four mounting holes. We suggest drilling 3/16" pilot holes for 
the lag screws.

4.  Put the two top lag screws through their holes in the mounting 

bracket and hold them in place while you push the gasket onto 
these lag screws. Start these two screws into the two top pilot 
holes.

5.  Start the other two lag screws, and then tighten all four 

screws.

6.  Hang the fi xture on the mounting bracket using the slot in the 

cover plate.

7.  Twist the fi xture wires to the supply wires (black to black, 

white to white, and the bare fi xture wire to the supply ground 
wire).

8.  Make sure the wires do not get pinched, and swing the fi xture up 

so the base fi ts tightly against the gasket. Push the pin through 
the hole at the top near the gasket, and into the mating loop in 
the mounting bracket. You may need to tap the pin to seat it all 
the way down.

9.  Secure the fi xture with the small machine screw going through 

the cover plate and into the mounting bracket.

10. Install bulb. Bulb rating must match the rating of the fi xture.

 

Model 9272: 150 Watt high pressure sodium type S55 bulb.

 

Model 9274: 100 Watt metal halide type M90/O open rated 
bulb.

11. Hold the lens and wire cage up to the fi xture and align the clips 

on the wire cage with the protrusions in the housing. Hook the 
clips over these protrusions and snap the clips closed to hold 
the lens and wire cage in place.

12. Loosen the screw in the center of the photocontrol socket two 

turns. Twist the socket so that the arrow points north. Note: There 
is a stop to prevent the socket from turning all the way around. 
If you have trouble turning the socket, try turning it the other 
direction. Retighten the screw in the center of the socket.

13. Align the photocontrol (it will only plug-in one way). Plug it in 

and twist clockwise until it stops.

14. Caulk fi xture mounting surface with silicone weather sealant

To test operation during the daytime, cover the photocontrol with 
a small box or rag. Turn the power on. Light should turn on and 
reach full brightness within ten minutes. Remove the box or rag to 
expose the photocontrol to daylight. Light should turn off within 
two minutes. With the photocontrol exposed, the light will operate 
automatically – on at dusk and off at dawn.
