INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: A17, PA22, PA22L
1. To attach reflector, determine the correct bracket setting from the bracket positioning chart. (above) Set the
brackets at the desired position for attaching the reflector. For positions 00 - 6, adjust the reflector bracket by
loosening the center captive screw so the bracket moves freely to the desired position. The bracket is in the right
location when the desired position number appears in the locator notch at the top of the bracket section. Be sure
the embossments on the brackets engage at the correct position. For positions 7 - 12, set the first extension
bracket at position 6, as described above, and tighten the center screw. Loosen the two outside captive screws
and adjust the bottom sections of the bracket so the proper position appears within the locator notch of the
lowermost bracket.
2. Attach the reflector by removing one of the lower reflector brackets. Loosen the center captive screw and pass the
screw head through the hole in the adjustment slot. Insert the tabs of the detached bracket into the slots on the
top of the reflector. Tilt the reflector and insert the opposite bracket tabs into the corresponding reflector slots.
Swing the reflector up into position and reinsert the captive screw head through the adjustment slot of the reflector
bracket. Tighten screw. (Picture 1)

IMPORTANT METAL HALIDE LAMP INFORMATION
Certain metal halide lamps require the use of a suitably enclosed luminaire and/or must be operated in accordance with
specific guidelines that have been established by the lamp manufacturer. NFPA 70B, “Recommended Practice for
Electrical Equipment Maintenance,” Section 15-5.2, states, “Metal halide lamps are constructed of an outer bulb with an
internal arc tube made of quartz. The arc tube operates under high pressure at very high temperatures – as high as
approximately 1,100 degrees Celsius. The arc tube and outer bulb can unexpectedly rupture if the lamp is misapplied.
Reference Standards – “American National Standard for Electric Lamps – High Intensity Discharge Lamps, Methods of
Designation,” ANSI C78.380, Annex B, defines E, S and O type lamps.
Lamps classified as O type, with quartz arc tubes, comply with “American National Standard for Electric Lamps – High
Intensity Discharge, Methods of Measuring Characteristics,” ANSI Standard C78.389, for containment testing and may
be used in open luminaires.
To determine the appropriate selection of a metal halide lamp, refer to all of the lamp manufacturer’s warning and
cautionary statements regarding the use of the lamp in your specific application.
WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY - Noticeably yellowed, hazed, or cracked acrylic reflectors or lenses have diminished
integrity and must be replaced immediately.
