AREAMAX™ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Disconnect power before wiring the fixture. High voltage may be present even when photocontrol removed.
This fixture operates on 90‐277 Volt, 50/60 Hz current.
1.
Feed black and white wires through the arm.
2.
Attach the AreaMax to the mounting arm using the two bolts and the tenon clamp provided. The tenon clamp
has been set in position to accept a 1 1/4" diameter arm. It may be reversed to accommodate a 2" diameter arm.
3.
Tighten bolts until fixture is tight on the arm. Alternate between bolts while tightening. Caution: Maximum
torque limit of 75 inch‐pounds. Do not over‐tighten bolts. Do not tighten past the point where the clamp begins to
bend.
4.
A green ground screw is provided behind the access panel, if required. When installing a ground wire, route the
wire under the access panel hinge side, laying it across the black rubber grommet containing the black and white power
leads and connect to the green ground screw. Diagonal cutters may be used to clip the rubber at the top of the grommet
to retain the wire. Workmanship to be in accordance with code for electrical installation.
5.
Using wire connectors, connect the black wire to the load power supply wire, the white wire to the return power
supply wire. Warning! High voltage may be present even when the photocontrol is removed.
6.
Insert photocontrol if photocontrol is required.
Photocontrol Option: Insert a twist lock photocontrol (not provided) into the photocontrol socket and install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instruction. Note: Photocontrols may vary. Some photocontrols may turn the light
off and on over the first few minutes after power is applied. This does not indicate a defect. A defective photocontrol
would operate with the light on at all times regardless of the time of day. Allow several minutes for the photocontrol to
turn the fixture off.
Evluma's Integrated Photocontrol Option: No additional steps are required.
7.
Turn on power. Note: UPON INSTALLATION THE AREAMAX WILL FLASH ONCE TO INDICATE THAT POWER IS
CONNECTED AND LUMINAIRE IS IN OPERATION.
TESTING: Check operation of the fixture during daylight by covering the photocontrol with the box it came in. Do
not use aluminum foil or other electrically conductive materials to cover the photocontrol. The Evluma
integrated photocontrol doesn't require a functional test once the flash indication has been verified.
conducted, allow up to two minutes for the light to respond.
PHOTOCONTROL FAILSAFE : The AreaMax begins collecting data immediately. Short daytime tests of the
photocontrol will not affect the gathering of this data.
