FTS 370d/w/r
Wiring
NOTE:
Install a 5’ service loop in the
cable near the flashhead.
1. With the flashhead securely mounted
to the tower, unfasten the two latches
that secure the light engine (top
assembly) to the base.
2. Lift the light engine assembly to
expose the flashhead terminal block.
3. Prepare the flashhead cable:
a. Remove 6 inches of the outer
jacket.
b. Remove the exposed aluminized
Mylar shield and any filler material
between conductors.
4. Loosen the dome nut of the provided
strain relief on the FH 370 and insert
the cable.
5. Connect the three conductor flashhead
cable to the terminal strip using a non-
flared flat tip screwdriver:
a. Connect
the
red
wire
to
the
terminal labeled DC+.
b. Connect the black wire to the
terminal labeled DC-.
c. Connect the bare drain wire to the
terminal labeled GND.
6. Secure the cable by tightening the
dome nut on the strain relief.
7. Ensure all wiring is tucked inside the
flashhead base to avoid pinching.
8. Close the flashhead and secure the two
latches.
9. Using 8 AWG wire minimum, ground
the flashhead to the tower utilizing the
flashheads external ground lug. Avoid
sharp bends in the ground wire (bends
must be greater than 90 degrees).
Important!
The flashhead must be
grounded to the tower using 8 AWG
wire minimum. It is recommended that
all exposed ground connections are
coated with a corrosion inhibitor (NO-
OX or equivalent).
