8. Flashhead Wiring
•
Protect the top flashhead against light-
ning strikes.
•
Ground the flashhead.
•
Check the wiring of the flashhead cable to
the flashhead.
•
Secure the flashhead cable to the tower.
Support and tape the flashhead cable to
prevent its movement by the wind.
9. Photocell Wiring
•
Connect the photocell to the master power
converter: the black wire to TB1-1 and the
white wire to TB1-2.
•
Ensure that TB1-1 and TB1-2 on the slave
units are jumpered together.
10. Inverter Wiring
Check the DC power connections for the power
inverter and the battery as follows:
•
Make certain that the cables are the cor-
rect size (see Figure 2-13 or Figure 2-14).
•
Ensure that the connections are clean and
tight.
•
Ensure that the battery voltage is correct
(19.2 to 34).
11. Alarm Wiring
•
If external alarm detection circuit
responds to closed contacts, ensure that
they are wired to the contacts on TB1 that
close on alarm.
•
If external alarm detection circuit
responds to open contacts, ensure that
they are wired to the contacts on TB1 that
open on alarm.
•
Alarm wiring should be lightning and RFI
protected: shielded, grounded shield, and
in a conduit.
•
If a specific alarm is ganged together from
all power converters as one, ensure that
the wiring follows local installation
instructions.
12. Marker Wiring (Sidelights)
•
Ensure that each power converter powers
only one tier of markers.
•
Ensure that the top tier of markers is
wired to the master power converter.
•
Check the wiring gauge to the markers to
ensure less than 3% voltage drop.
•
Ensure that all markers have all their
lamps installed.
•
Ensure that marker lamps are 116 Watts
only.
After completing all the steps listed above, turn
on the power and perform an operational check-
out from procedures in Section 3 of this manual.
