For a 225XST/225XL Strobe, the following is recommended (supplied by others): 1/2-inch 

NPT Pipe Nipple (3 inches overall length).

Opening the Housing

Tools required: 

•  3/8-inch socket 
•  6-inch extension 
To open the housing, loosen the four cover screws while supporting the housing so it 

does not fall. (The cover screws are retained in the housing.) The front of the unit is heavy 

but it is attached to the rear housing with a pivot hinge to allow ease of service. If the unit 

requires service, replace the front housing, amplifier, and power supply (if equipped) as an 

entire unit.
