NOTE:
A ¾-inch by ¾-inch M/F extension is provided for installation of the 540-001 or 541-001 strobe.
It is highly recommended that this extension be installed. The extension increases the

Thread the extension onto
the tower and tighten.

Insert the strobe’s 15-foot
wires through the
extension (when installed)
and the tower’s threaded
nipple and allow the wires
to extend to the base of the
tower (see Figure 8).
3.
Screw the strobe onto the
threaded nipple/extension.

Apply a small amount of
clear RTV silicone sealant
or equivalent to the
threads of each security
screw to reduce the
possibility of rust forming
in the screw threads.

security screws.
