Can I Use a Balance Yoke with my Source Four LED Series 3 Fixture?

Source Four LED Series 3s can be hung with balance yokes, but they require a different balance yoke from other Source Four ellipsoidals due to their unique fixture body shape.  

Balance Yoke for a S4 LED S3:

Part Number: 7462A2021-K
Model number: S4LEDBY

Balance Yoke for Incandescent S4s and S4 LED series 1 and 2:

Part Number: 7060A2028
Model Number: 400BY

 

Install the Balance Yoke
1. Remove the yoke and hardware that were shipped with your Source Four LED fixture. Retain the 5/16 bolts and washers that secure the yoke to the fixture. Source Four Balance Yoke.png
2. Using the provided kit hardware, attach the two 5/16 short bolts, two 5/16 washers, and two 5/16 hex nuts to the top holes on the sides of the movable yoke. Leave the bolts loose enough so that you can secure them behind the clutch plates before tightening them.

Note: In the image above, each bolt in step 2 is positioned so that the head of the bolt is on the ”inside” of the movable yoke. 

3. Attach the balance yoke assembly to the fixture, and secure with the 5/16 bolts
and washers that you retained from the original yoke. Make sure that the heads
of the bolts that you attached in step 2 are secured behind the clutch plates
(see image at right). This will lock the moveable yoke to the rear housing.

4. Tighten the hex nuts that you attached in step 2.
