Phaeton Series Tank Lights
STORAGE and HANDLING
Jacoby-Tarbox Phaeton Series Tank Lights
meet or exceed all applicable specifications when
they are shipped from the factory. Even thought
this unit is called a tank light, it may be installed
on sight flow indicators also.
All units should be inspected upon receipt to
ensure that no damage has been incurred during
transit. If there has been, a claim should be filed
with the carrier immediately. Units should be
stored in an area protected from the elements
and corrosive fumes, in a secure manner where
they can neither fall, nor be struck by other
objects. Care should be taken to protect the
window and the end connections from damage.
Avoid placing any objects directly on the light at
any time.
COMPONENTS
There are three main components that make up
the Phaeton Series light, the light ring, the power
supply, and the cable connecting these two main
pieces. The cable may have more than one piece
depending on the required distance between the
light ring and the power supply.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: All lights are tagged with
the service conditions for that particular unit.
These specifications are located on the
Jacoby-Tarbox tag on the power supply
housing, and are contained in the
“Specifications” section of this manual. Do
not use or refer to specifications listed on red
label on the power supply housing. They are
specification for generic use. Review the
ratings prior to installation and again prior
to start-up, to ensure proper operation in the
installed environment. Should there be any
doubt as to the applicability of a unit for the
installed environment, consult the factory
before placing the unit into service.
Note: All installation steps should be
performed by a qualified technician and
should be executed in accordance with all
applicable national and local codes.
The light and power supply should be
checked to ensure that they contain no foreign
matter, and that the end connections are clean,
undamaged, and in line with existing conduit.
Step by step instructions:
1) Place the light ring directly on to the
desired window.
2) Hold the ring in place and pull the
mounting bracket beyond the perimeter of
the window’s retaining flange. The
opening in the bracket should allow it to
slip over the retaining flange. The
thumbscrew should be pointing, away
from the window. Repeat this step for the
other two mounting brackets.
3) Once all three brackets are in place,
tighten the thumbscrews to secure the light
ring.
4) Remove the cap in the ½” NPT conduit
connection. Open the housing. The
power supply has a pluggable, 2-position
terminal block ready to connect to the
customer’s power. All electrical
specifications must comply with NEC
guidelines. After connecting the power,
close the housing.
5)
IMPORTANT: The customer must
have a sealing fitting in the conduit
supplying power to the light’s power
supply within 18” of the power supply.
