5  INSTALLATION 

5.1  Device installation 

Mount the obstruction light to selected mounting point using quality-made fasteners. This aviation obstruction 
light comes with four bolt holes to mount this product securely. One of the mounting points is not painted. 
This mounting point can be used as additional grounding. Level the light using spirit level (bubble level) if the 
mounting point is not already levelled. Tighten bolts & nuts. Obelux recommends 100 Nm tightening torque 
for M12 hot-dipped 8.8 bolts with suitable washer between bolt and mounting plate. When the service access 
hatch (door) is open, check that there is no inflow of water (incl. hail and snow) into aviation obstacle light. 
Photocell is located on top of the light. Photocell should have an uninterrupted view of the sky to work 
correctly. All dimensions are in millimetres (mm).

5.2  Wiring 

Route cables using cable glands on side of the light head. Connect the cable wires securely to appropriate 
terminal block connectors. Connectors can be disconnected from the terminals on the main circuit board for 
easier access. Second row of terminals in the Alarm relay / RS485 connector can be used to distribute alarm 
and data signals to next light head.
