LED Wall Pack Wiring & Installation Guide for Electricians

This guide covers professional installation of LED wall pack fixtures for licensed electricians and qualified maintenance personnel.

Pre-Installation Checklist

• [ ] Verify power is OFF at the breaker
• [ ] Check that existing junction box is rated for fixture weight
• [ ] Confirm voltage matches fixture input range (120-277V)
• [ ] Gather mounting hardware (included with Auvolar wall packs)
• [ ] Have wire nuts, electrical tape, and silicone sealant ready
• [ ] Check that mounting surface can support fixture weight (5-15 lbs)

Junction Box Requirements

Auvolar wall packs fit standard 4" round or octagonal junction boxes. The universal mounting plate covers boxes from 3.5" to 4.5".

Important: The junction box must be recessed flush with or slightly behind the wall surface. Protruding boxes will prevent proper mounting plate seating.

Wiring: 120V Circuit

Wiring: 277V Circuit

The Auvolar wall pack driver auto-detects 120V or 277V — no switch or setting needed.

Adding a Photocell

Auvolar wall packs feature a twist-lock photocell receptacle on top.

With photocell ($15, SKU: SENS-WP-PC):

Remove the shorting cap from the twist-lock receptacle

Align photocell pins with receptacle slots

Insert and twist clockwise to lock

Photocell automatically turns light ON at dusk, OFF at dawn

Without photocell:

• Leave the factory-installed shorting cap in place
• Light operates continuously when powered

Mounting Steps

Attach mounting plate to junction box using provided screws

Pull wires through the large center opening of the mounting plate

Make connections using wire nuts (included). Tug-test each connection

Tuck wires neatly into junction box cavity

Align fixture mounting holes with plate

Secure fixture with provided mounting screws (typically 2-4 screws)

Apply silicone around the top and sides of the fixture-to-wall junction for weather sealing (optional but recommended)

Install photocell if using (twist-lock on top)

Restore power and test

Common Wiring Issues

Fixture doesn't light up:

Check breaker is ON

Verify wiring connections with voltage tester

Confirm photocell shorting cap is installed (if no photocell)

Check that photocell isn't covered/blocked (if installed)

Fixture flickers:

• Usually a loose wire connection — retighten wire nuts
• Can also indicate voltage issue — verify with multimeter

Photocell stays on during daytime:

• Photocell may be facing a shaded direction
• Rotate fixture so photocell eye faces open sky
• Some photocells need 24 hours to calibrate
