Chapter 3 Installation Instructions
Installation Options
Warning This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available.
Warning When powering the product with AC power – other than the street lamp power option – the power plug
should be installed:
(1) where it can be conveniently accessed to de-energize power from the unit. Power should not be
removed by disconnecting the AC power connector at the equipment itself, and
(2) where it is not subjected to water or the outdoor elements. This may be accomplished by the use
of UL Listed power receptacles, such as GFCIs, provided with UL Listed waterproofing covers suitable
for covering the receptacle and plugs with the plugged in equipment in use.
3. Refer to the AC power connections for Category C power from a street light outdoor lighting control
shown in Figure 3-2. The street light adapter uses a 3-prong NEMA twist-lock adapter that installs
between the outdoor lighting control and its fixture. The NEMA twist-lock adapter is designed to be
used with UL 773 listed outdoor lighting controls operating at and rated for 100 and 240 VAC
50/60 Hz.
Warning Be very careful when connecting the street light adapter to Category 3 pole-top power to avoid being
hurt or killed!
4. Disconnect the outdoor lighting control from its fixture.
5. Verify that the voltage available at the fixture is between 100 and 240 VAC 50/60 Hz.
6. Turn off power to the fixture at the designated circuits.
7. Plug the Cisco-supplied street light adapter into the outdoor lighting control fixture. Refer to
Figure 3-2.
8. Plug the outdoor lighting control to the street light adapter.
