To select a pattern:
1.
Disconnect power to the beacon.
2.
Unscrew the M3 set screw on the side of the
housing one full turn.
3.
Remove the lens cover from the housing by turning
the cover counterclockwise. Three 120-degree
spaced reliefs are provided for a spanner wrench
if needed. If the cover assembly will not unscrew,
back out the set screw a few additional turns
4.
Loosen the captive Phillips screw retaining the
printed circuit board (PCB), and slide out the PCB
until DIP switch SW1 is accessible.
5.
Select a flash pattern by setting the DIP switches
on SW1. Steady On is the default.
6.
Insert the PCB assembly into the enclosure and
fully tighten the captive screw.
7.
Place the cover on the housing and tighten it by
turning it clockwise. To ensure O-ring compression,
the cover must be fully seated against the housing
when the threads are tightened.
8.
Turn the M3 set screw against the housing until the
screw contacts the housing.
9.
Reconnect power to the beacon.
10.
Test the beacon by applying power and verifying
the pattern.
Maintaining the Beacon
SAFETY MESSAGES FOR MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL
:
Listed below are some important safety instructions and
precautions you should follow:
•
Read and understand all instructions before
operating this system.
•
If you acquired a significant quantity of units, then it
is recommended that spares also be made available.
•
Any maintenance to the beacon system must be
done with power turned off.
•
Any maintenance to the beacon system must be
performed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly
familiar with all applicable national and local codes
in the country of use.
•
To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect
wires when power is applied. Failure to observe this
warning may lead to serious injury or death.
•
Never alter the unit in any manner. Safety of the
unit may be affected if additional openings or other
alterations are made to the internal components or
housing.
•
Repair of flamepaths is not intended.
•
The nameplate, which may contain cautionary or
other information of importance to maintenance
personnel, should NOT be obscured in any way.
Ensure that the nameplate remains readable.
•
After performing any maintenance, test the beacon
system to ensure that it is operating properly.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions
may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: To prevent ignition of hazardous
atmosphere, disconnect the beacon from the supply
circuit before opening it. Do not open the beacon in the
presence of explosive gases in the atmosphere. Failure
to follow this warning may result in serious injury or
death.
During the working life of the beacon, it should require
little or no maintenance. The non-metallic housing will
resist attack by most acids, alkalis, and chemicals and
is as resistant to concentrated acids and alkalis as
most metal products. However, if abnormal or unusual
environment conditions occur due to plant damage
or accident, etc., visual inspection of the beacon is
recommended.
