Safety Instructions

• Only qualified personnel should perform the installation.

• Follow all local electrical codes during installation.

• Although it is not necessary to disconnect power to the pole during installation,

one should always be aware of possible exposure to electrical elements.

• When working from heights, it is important to follow standard safety precautions

to avoid any danger of potential injury.

• Use appropriate work tools.

Installation Overview

Note: Read the Installation Guide in its entirety prior to beginning the installation

process.

The following is the NEMA installation process;

1. Physical installation of:

• NEMA in previously installed NEMA receptable.

2. Obtaining GPS coordinates of Allegro Photocell Repeater and either writing

electronically or recording manually.

Preparing for Installation

It is assumed that the luminaire cover has had a NEMA ANSI C136.10-2010 and

C136.41-2013 compliant receptacle installed.

Installation

To install an Allegro Photocell Repeater:

1. Prior to physically installing the Allegro Photocell Repeater

(a) Record the NEMA serial number and pole number, if any.

(b) Stand as close as possible to the pole and obtain GPS coordinates in decimal

degrees.

(d) If you are sending the NEMA information entries one by one, please record the

information in a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet and send to a Master Meter AMI

Technician.

2. Remove the existing photocell repeater by twisting counterclockwise, unlocking the

plug from the receptacle (see figure 1).

3. Align the tallest and widest prong (neutral) at the center of the photocell repeater plug

with the widest socket in the receptacle. Firmly insert the plug into the receptacle (see

figure 2).

Figure 2

WARNING: Attempting to insert the NEMA prongs into the wrong sockets in the

receptacle can damage the Allegro Photocell Repeater.

4. Twist the Allegro Photocell Repeater clockwise, until the Allegro Photocell Repeater

stops moving and is securely locked and the bottom of the NEMA is even with the top

of the receptacle (see figure 3 below).

5. Once the photocell repeater is installed, the light fixture will turn ON (light on). After

initial turn ON, the light fixture will run an ‘Auto Detection and Verification’ procedure

which identifies the lamp driver type and executes the following light on/off sequence:

• After approximately 25 seconds of being ON the light fixture will dim to about 5%, if

dimming is configured.

• After approximately 10 seconds, the light fixture will return to 100%.

• After approximately 7 seconds, the light fixture will turn OFF (light off).

• After approximately 11 seconds, the light fixture will return ON or to operational state

the internal photocell repeater schedule determines.

to ON.

2. Be sure to choose the correct “Comm Port” inside the software as shown in figure 5

below;
