REMOTE SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
Poles (concrete and steel)
• When unloading poles from freight carrier:
• Verify that all required materials have been received.
• Check all poles or pole sections for possible damage incurred
during shipping.
• Use proper pick-up points and equipment for lifting poles or pole sections
to prevent damage.
• Match pole ID mark with that described on the lighting layout provided by
Hubbell Lighting Applications Engineering and unload at these locations
on the job site. Unload with the pole base as close as possible to
the foundation.
• For concrete poles with cap plate, do not store pole with cap plate
supporting the pole weight. Blocks and chocks should be placed under
the pole or pole sections to aid in assembly and lifting.
• If the job site permits, it is recommended to assemble the sports lighting
equipment to the pole before erection. The pole should be oriented so
that attachment points are accessible without requiring rotation
of the pole.
• For installations that require front and back aimed fixtures, it will be
necessary to elevate the top end of the pole to provide clearance for the
reflectors if the assembly is completed prior to erection.
• Hoisting must be smooth and continuous without abrupt jerks.
• Tag lines can be used to guide the pole to the foundation during erection.
Concrete Poles
• Refer to the cast-in nameplate on the pole for information about pole
length, weight & ID mark.
• Poles must be lifted, stored and erected using only the following points
marked on the pole or indicated on documentation shipped with
each pole:
•
C.G. (center of gravity) – This location is shown for informational purposes
only, it is not a pick-up point.
•
2 Point Pick-Up – These locations are the proper 2 point pick-up points.
Equal length slings are required. The pole will hang horizontally when
using these points. No sports lighting equipment is to be attached to the
pole before it is erected using the 2-point pick-up.
•
1 Point Pick-Up – This location is to be used for pole erection. A thru-
hole is provided at this point to enable a steel bar to be inserted as a
safety stop for the sling. Sports lighting equipment may be attached to
the pole before it is erected using the one-point pick-up.
•
Storage – These locations are the points at which the pole must be
supported for storage at the job site. The pole must be stored in a straight
and level condition so that no bowing or bending occurs. While the sports
lighting equipment is being attached to the pole, support the pole using
these storage points. If the weight of the equipment at the pole top could
cause undesirable deflection during erection, the pole top must
also be supported.
•
Ground Line – This location indicates the level to which the pole should
be embedded in the ground. Verify foundation design
embedment requirements.
Steel Poles
• Check each pole section’s straightness to ensure that there was no
damage incurred during shipping. Manufacturing tolerances permit a
variance from a string line by up to ¼ inch in 20 feet.
• Avoid damage to the pole surfaces during handling operations.
• Pole sections should be laid flat and blocked for storage and assembly.
• Pole sections may be assembled horizontally or be vertically depending on
job site requirements.
• Slip-fit the pole sections together by the following sequence:
• Match pole ID numbers to identify shaft sections that make up one
complete assembly.
Steel Poles Continued
• Ensure that there are no projections or dirt in the telescoping areas.
• If a lubricant is needed to slip sections together, soapy water
is recommended.
• Refer to
Fig. 6 for shaft alignment and slip-fit tolerances.
• 15/16” diameter holes are provided in each section for attachment of a
pulling device.
• Force the sections together snugly using devices such as come-alongs,
hydraulic jacks, etc.
• Ensure adherence to slip-fit tolerance described in
Fig. 6
• All joints must be lashed securely together to prevent slipping apart
during erection. Listed below are some methods to do this:
• Come-alongs with tight cable lashings.
•A single, full length cable, fastened at the base (or bottom hand hole) and
the top of the pole.
• Plumbing of the pole should be done early in the morning when there is
minimum heat effect from the sun and when there is no appreciable
wind. The heat from the sun on one side of the pole can cause a visible
bow to occur.
Sports Lighting Equipment Assembly to Poles
Refer to Figs. 7 & 9 for component matching at each pole location.
Components must be installed at locations identified on the Hubbell
Application Engineering documentation. Verify all labeling.
Refer to
Figs. 8 & 9 for standard remote system layouts.
Refer to Fig. 10 for clamp-on component mounting to concrete poles.
Refer to Fig. 11 for cap plate component mounting to steel or concrete poles.
Refer to Fig. 12 for remote head positioning and reflector mounting. Verify if
protective hulls are required. Install proper lamps. Install lens
assemblies to reflectors.
Final Notes
Supply wiring to be furnished by the Contractor. Feed supply wiring through the
pole base into the remote ballast boxes and make electrical connections to the
terminal blocks. Ensure that each pole/remote box is properly grounded. Check
one light position on each crossarm assembly to verify that it aligns with the
requirements specified on the Hubbell Applications Engineering documentation.
Locate the spot on the field where this light should be aimed. To allow for your
height, take two steps toward the pole from this spot. Using binoculars, look at
the lamp and reflector of the light aimed at this spot.
• If the light is aligned properly:
Axial optics: The lamp and the back of the reflector will form a
perfect bull’s-eye.
Horizontal optics: The center of the lamp arc tube will be centered
in the reflector.
• If adjustments must be made, the following is required:
Steel base plate poles: Crossarm must be rotated.
Steel direct burial pole: Pole or crossarm must be rotated.
Concrete pole with cap plate components: Pole or crossarm must be rotated.
Concrete pole with clamp-on components: Pole must be rotated.
