Table of Contents

General:

The EASA/EASB/EASC luminaires are fairly simple in construction and wiring. Major components are

the main housing, light engine (LED Board), and power door. The power door is designed to be field

replaceable. Any light engine is considered to not be failed until 10% or more of LEDs do not

operate. Typical troubleshooting details follow. EASx products may have one or two light engine

assemblies in the optical cavity and one or two drivers on the power door assembly.

Section 1: Light Engine(s) Out

1. Visually check operation of unit

2. If either the front or rear (asymmetric distributions)

or right or left (symmetric distributions) light

engine is not functioning do the following.

A. Disconnect and isolate fixture

from power source (lock out

incoming power to the pole).

B. Open power door by

loosening the captive screws.

*This is a typical representation of a right-left light engine orientation.

Orientation, LED count and optical components will vary according to light

distribution.

A. Unit will power off when Photocell is removed.

B. Install and Test Function of new photocell by covering the window with

Electrical tape or a glove.

C. If Photocell was defective the fixture should come on now and shut off when the

covering is removed.

2. If Replacing the Photocell does not resolve the issue, check the wiring in the fixture from the

Photocell Receptacle
