Access
WARNING
STOP: Before proceeding—read warn-
ing on Page iii. Disconnect the primary
power before opening the power con-
verter enclosure or flashhead.
Power Converter
Quick-release latches secure the cover. When you
release these you can open the cover for internal
access.
Flashhead
The flashhead normally contains no interlock. Do
not open the flashhead unless you have discon-
nected primary power from the power converter.
Wait one minute for storage capacitors to drain
down. Open the flashhead and use a voltmeter to
check that no voltage potential exists between the
red and the blue wires. Look for these wires on
the ceramic terminal posts.
You may pivot the lens open by disengaging
quick-release latches. Be careful when opening
the lens to ensure that it does not strike adjacent
objects. Two lanyard cables secure the lens to the
flashhead.
Mounting
Power Converter
Mounting and outline dimensions for the power
converters are shown in Figure 2-1. Use the fol-
lowing guidelines for mounting the power con-
verter:
•
Ensure that adequate space exists around the
equipment for access during installation,
maintenance and servicing.
•
Allow space for air flow around the power con-
verter.
•
You must use a bonding strap on a bolt
through the power converter case leg. Connect
the strap to the site grounding system.
FTCA does not furnish mounting hardware unless
you order it as part of an installation kit.
Flashhead
Mounting and outline dimensions for the flash-
head are shown in Figure 2-2. Protect the flash-
head from lightning strikes. The flashhead may
be mounted to painted or unpainted surfaces. Use
the following guidelines:
