Mounting 

 
The unit can be mounted in any orientation, keeping in mind that the ventilation areas at the top and bottom 
of the unit must remain unobstructed for proper cooling.  The unit should also be positioned for easy access 
to the door provided for lamp replacement, typically at the rear when mounted in an overhead location.   
 
The FireLight incorporates a mounting yoke with a 1/2" hole at the center for hanging the instrument.  The 
FireLight is normally attached to a mounting “C-clamp” or other stable means of support using the yoke 
mounting hole and an appropriate bolt and washer.  The user is responsible for mounting the instrument in a 
safe and secure manner.  Please consult with local public or workplace safety authorities to determine if any 
additional safety restraints, such as safety wires or cables may be required. 
 

Operation 

 
Once connected to the ballast transformer, the FireLight unit will operate as soon as AC power is applied to 
the ballast.  The lamp and internal motors will begin to operate immediately, and the unit will project a 
moving pattern of light with an irregular character resembling the appearance of fire or flames.  The fixture is 
rated for continuous operation, and in normal use the unit will continue to display the output pattern until 
power is removed.   
 

Aiming 

 
The instrument can be pointed using the mounting hole on the yoke as a directional pivot, typically in the  
horizontal or lateral direction.  Tightening the mounting fastener will lock the instrument in that axis.  The 
mounting yoke attaches to the sides of the instrument with two thumbscrews.  Loosening the thumbscrews 
allows for adjustment of the instrument in the second axis, typically in the vertical or elevation direction.  
Tightening the yoke thumbscrews will lock the elevation axis.
