Description
Edwards AdaptaLight Series 101XBRM Stackable Beacon
is a unique signaling appliance which can contain up to ve
modules, stacked onto a single AdaptaLight Base Unit (as
illustrated above). The 101XBRM series can be combined
or stacked with any of the models shown in Table 2 only if
modules have same input voltage. The 101XBRM LED Series is supplied in steady-on mode but offers a eld-selectable
65 fpm ash mode. Up to ve modules can be used in any
position in the AdaptaLight Stackable Beacon.
The AdaptaLight base unit (101BS) contains a mini pulsating
horn rated 85 dB at 10 feet (3.05 m). This horn can operate
as a sixth independent signal or with any one of the stacked
modules shown in Table 2. The base unit has a screw-type
terminal strip for positive hard wiring. Each module in the
stack is electrically interconnected through solid copper
busses and mating contacts to withstand vibration. Each is
positively connected to the one below it by a solid throughbolt for mechanical integrity.
AdaptaLight is UL and cUL listed for direct surface or pipe
mounting in non-hazardous dust and outdoor applications.
The AdaptaLight may be mounted vertically with lenses facing
up or with lenses facing down (on ceiling). The AdaptaLight
is not suitable for outdoor installations when mounted with
the lenses facing down. The AdaptaLight must never be
mounted horizontally. Assemble and install in accordance
with these instructions.
PLC Compatibility
The electrical input load requirements for PLC compatible
signaling devices are listed in Table 1. Signaling devices
may be directly connected to output cards that meet these
input load requirements. Unit is PLC compatible only when
in steady mode.
Installation
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, do not connect
power until instructed to do so.
This equipment must be installed by a qualied electrician in
accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code and applicable local codes.
1. Mount the base vertically either facing up or down using
one of the following procedures (Figures 2 and 3).
NOTE: For indoor applications, the base may be direct
surface mounted, mounted on a 4" (102 mm)
octagon box, or mounted on 1/2" NPT conduit.
For outdoor (weatherproof) applications, the base
must be conduit mounted vertically facing up.
a. Loosen the screw in the clamp ring, remove ring and
set aside.
The AdaptaLight modules have double fresnel polycarbonate
lenses available in a variety of colors, each providing a 360°
non-shadowed light pattern.

b. Direct Surface Mounting (indoor installation only)
Remove the two knockouts from the bottom of the
base.
Fasten the base to the surface using suitable
hardware (not supplied).
c. 4" (1 02 mm) Octagon Box Mounting (in doo r
installation only)
Remove the two knockouts from the bottom of the
base.
Fasten the base to the octagon box (not supplied) by
installing the screws (supplied with the box) through
the knockout holes in the base.
d. Conduit Mounting (indoor or outdoor installation)
Install a 1/2" NPT conduit (not supplied). Align the
conduit entrance hole on the base with the conduit
and rotate base until base is tightly secured.
2. Route incoming eld wiring into the base through the
conduit entrance hole.
Up to ve 101XBRM LED modules or any other modules
shown in Table 2 can be used in any position in the stack.
The terminal block labels, 1 through 5, correspond to the
stacked modules with 1 being the bottom module on the
stack.
Connect eld wiring to the terminal block as shown in
Figure 4.
Ground the AC AdaptaLights to the grounding screw
(Figure 3) in accordance with applicable codes. Place
the connected wires inside of the base.
Continue adding modules in this manner as required.
Place the cap supplied with the base unit onto the top
module ensuring the gasket is in place. Secure with
an o-ring and 3/8" (9.5 mm) cap screw (supplied).
4. Turn on power and verify that module(s) and horn
are operating properly.
Maintenance/Flash Pattern Change
Refer to "Specications" for replacement parts.
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect all
power before starting work on unit.
1. Remove the 3/8" (9.5 mm) cap screw, o-ring and cap
from top of unit.
2. Remove the #8-32 x 3/8" (9.5 mm) plastic panhead screw
from the side of the module lens.
3. Loosen the slotted panhead through-bolt (on top module).
Do not remove the through-bolt from the module; turn
the bolt approximately 30 turns.
4. Carefully remove the module and gasket.
5. Continue to disassemble until the internal dipswitch on
the top circuit is reached or the component to be replaced
is located. To change the ash pattern, set the dipswitch
as illustrated in Figure 6. To replace the pulsating horn,
follow instructions shown below.
6. Replace mini pulsating horn.
Assemble the base unit and place the base gasket on
top as shown in Figure 2.
3. To stack the modules, align the notch on the bottom of
the rst module with the notch on the base and press
into position. Secure by tightening the slotted panhead
through-bolt located on the top of the module.
NOTE: Never try to remove the through-bolt from the
module.
Install the #8-32 x 3/8" (9.5 mm) plastic panhead
screw in the side of the module lens (Figure 5).
Place gasket supplied with module onto the top of
the module.
