3.3 L-867 base can
installation (non-load
bearing)
Non-load bearing base cans are not normally subject to high shear levels. Following are
specific requirements to insure that either an elevated or an in-pavement fixture is properly
installed.
Make sure that the fixture is completely assembled.
Make sure that the fixture has been operationally tested.
Verify that a certified L-867 base can that has been listed in FAA AC 150/5345-53D,
Appendix 1 Addendum is being used.
Insure that all base can mounting surfaces are flat and free of dust, dirt or debris. Use
compressed air or a solvent spray to remove debris prior to installation. Use safety glasses
to prevent injury from any flying debris or solvent.
Inspect the threads in the light base upper flange to insure that the threads are clean and
corrosion free. If necessary, use a wire brush to clean the holes or use compressed air or a
solvent spray to remove debris prior to the insertion of any mounting bolts. Use safety
glasses to prevent injury from any flying debris or solvent.
If the base can threads are damaged, use a tap to attempt to restore them. If the threads are
severely damaged and will not allow the proper torque, use an appropriate insert to repair the
threaded hole.
For elevated fixtures mounted on a baseplate, inspect the condition of the gasket and replace
it if necessary.
Mount the in-pavement fixture or baseplate using a one inch (25.4 mm), 3/8” x 16 Type 304
(18-8) Stainless Steel bolt. The bolt must be fully threaded. To insure that the bolt’s material
characteristics are known, verify that the bolt comes from a known source of supply. Always
use a new bolt. Never reuse existing bolts.
If the base can is an area that may be subject to vibration, consider using an appropriate
vibration resistant washer.
If anti-seize (lubricant) is used on the bolt, the following products are recommended:
• Loctite LB 8009™ Heavy Duty Anti-Seize. This is also available in stick form as Loctite
LB 8070™ Heavy Duty Anti-Seize Stick
WARNING
Read installation instructions in their entirety before starting installation.
Make sure power is off before you install or remove any fixture.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury or
equipment damage.
CAUTION
Make sure that:
— The fixture is supplied with 6.6A maximum from the isolation
transformer secondary via a series circuit.
— The series circuit is powered by a Constant Current Regulator that
complies with FAA AC 150/5345-10 or IEC 61822.
— Depending on installation location, the isolation transformer is a series
transformer that complies with FAA AC 150/5345-47, IEC 61823, or
CSA C22.2 No. 180.
— The base can is correctly earth grounded. Failure to do so will void the
warranty for any damage that occurs as a result of voltage surges.
— Never hold the fixture by the cable leads. This can damage the
insulation, break the waterproof seal and cause insulation faults and
water leakage.
