ENGINEERING COMPANY INC.

The Model UPS-64C

 Strobe Light Power Supply is a multiple outlet

power  supply,  to  be  mounted  in  areas  protected  from  the  weather

and abuse. The electronics of the power supply are enclosed inside a

weather resistant (not waterproof) powder coated die cast aluminum

housing.

MOUNTING THE UPS-64C:

1.

Install the unit with the strobe light connections located in such 

a way that they are easily accessible.

IMPORTANT

: THE UPS-64C IS NOT WATERPROOF.

2.

Install the unit with the four supplied #10 sheet metal screws on 
a metal surface to provide adequate heat dissipation (See 
important warning on page 3).

Fit the supplied 3 pin AMP connectors on the pins located on 

the end of the cables connected to the remote strobe light head 

assemblies, (Fig. 2) and insert into the proper strobe light 

outlets to conform to the desired strobe light system (See Pg. 4 

& 5).

4.

Connect the power supply to power source via a desired control 

switching system. (See Pg. 4 & 5)

CONNECTING THE AMP 3 PIN CONNECTOR HOUSINGS 

TO THE CABLES OF THE REMOTE STROBE LIGHT 

HEAD ASSEMBLIES:

The Whelen remote strobe light head assemblies are supplied with a 

3 conductor cable mounted to the units. On the end of each one of 

these cables are three pins factory crimped onto each of the three 

wires. After cables have been properly installed and routed, these 

pins will have to be inserted into the AMP 3 pin housings enclosed in 

the mounting kit. (Fig. 2).

NOTE:

 IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE PIN LOCATIONS & 

ORDER OF COLOR ON AMP 3 PIN CONNECTORS.

Once these AMP 3 pin connectors are properly connected onto 

the cables of the remote strobe light head assemblies, the 

remote strobe light head assemblies are ready to be plugged 

into the 3 position socket strobe light connectors located on the 

Model UPS-64C

 Power Supply (Figs. 1 & 5).

CONTROL WIRE HARNESS ASSEMBLY:

The Control wire harness assembly consists of an AMP 3 pin 

connector with 2 wires, green and blue (See Figures 3 & 5). The 

green wire controls the strobe light outlets 1, and 4, the blue 

wire controls the strobe light outlets 2 and 3. This Control 

harness assembly is to be connected to the 3 position socket 

control connector located on the UPS-64C strobe light power 

supply (See Figures 1 & 5). This control harness assembly is to 

be crimped to a customer supplied control cable, which in turn is 

to be connected to a customer supplied switch to complete the 

installation.
