PERMANENT MOUNTING
Because of a wide variety of needs concerning the location of
mounting holes, the cast aluminum base of the Model S360S is
not pre-drilled for its mounting screws. Thus the holes must be
drilled by the installer to conform to a particular need. For the
convenience of the installer, three dimples are located inside the
cast aluminum base which may be used as starter locations to drill
the holes, if the location of these dimples meet the installation
configuration.
1.
Disassemble (see S360S Disassembly Procedure).
2.
Drill 0.218 (7/32 inch) diameter holes into the three dimples
inside base, or any other location to fit a particular mounting
need. Remove shavings.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure during this operation to keep
drain hole in the base facing in the opposite direction of the
direction of travel of the vehicle.
3.
Place the base in position on the mounting surface. Use base
as a template to mark the location of the three mounting
holes to be drilled, and the location of the center hole to be
used as passage for the customer supplied connecting power
cable.
4.
At the pre-marked locations on the mounting surface, drill the
mounting holes. At the marked location of the center hole,
drill a 1/2 inch diameter hole to accommodate the customer
supplied connecting power cable. Deburr the power cable
hole to prevent damage to the cable. You should also install a
rubber grommet.
5.
Peel away paper backing from enclosed black neoprene
base gasket, and affix to the bottom of base surface lining up
the three holes in it with the three drilled holes in the base.
Position the base on the mounting surface, lining up the
drilled holes in the base with the holes located in the
mounting surface. Use the three enclosed #10 x 3/4” phillips
pan head sheet metal screws to secure the base to the
mounting surface.
6.
Wire the strobe light power supply to the customer supplied
power cable and reassemble the strobe beacon.
PIPE MOUNT:
The cast aluminum base is a combination base which can be
used for permanent, or 1 inch (NPT) pipe mounting.
1.
Disassemble the strobe power supply assembly.
2.
Feed customer supplied power cable through the 1 inch pipe
and connect the cable to the wires of the strobe light.
3.
Screw the base to the threads of the 1 inch pipe and
reassemble the strobe beacon.
