Edwards Signaling 125 Class Beacons Installation Guide

Installation Instructions for 125 Class Beacons,

XBR (XTRA-BRIGHT) LED Models

Description

Edwards 125 Class XBR LED Beacons are UL and cUL listed
dual mode signaling appliances rated for NEMA 4X applica­tions. Two versions of 125 Class XBR LED Beacons are
available: Steady-On/Flashing (125XBRM) and Steady-On/
Lightburst (125XBRZ). Both versions can be either surface or
conduit mounted. A protective wire guard, Cat. No. 125GRD,
is also available.

Both 125XBRM and 125XBRZ beacons are dual mode devic­es maximizing application exibility while reducing inventory
costs. 125XBRM beacons ship from the factory in Steady-On
mode with the built-in option of switching to (65 fpm) Flashing
mode by means of an additional wire connection. (Refer to
"Setting the Flash Mode" for details). In the same manner,
125XBRZ beacons ship from the factory in Steady-On mode
and where ultra visibility is critical, can be easily switched
to Lightburst mode. (Refer to "Setting the Flash Mode" for
details). 125 Class XBR (XTRA-BRIGHT) LED Beacons are
available in red, blue, green, amber, or white.

Outdoor Locations

Temperature Ratings ........... -31F to +150F (-35C to +66C)

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, ensure that power
is turned off before installing the signal.

Installation

Conduit Mounting (Figures 1 & 3)

1. Feed the 18" (457 mm) signal wire leads through either
1/2" or 3/4" conduit into an approved conduit outlet box.
(Product is supplied with a double threaded - 1/2" internal
and 3/4" external - conduit hub.)

2. Thread the conduit onto the base of the signal.

Panel Mounting (Figures 2 & 4)

Note: When panel mounting these beacons, the surface

and construction details of the panel must be
taken into consideration in order to ensure that the
integrity of the outdoor, NEMA 4X rating is fully
maintained. Installer should evaluate.

1. Place the mounting gasket (supplied) over the hole in
the panel and route the signal wires through the gasket
and the hole in the panel.

2. Insert the base through the hole in the panel and screw
the locking nut (supplied), with the raised locking edge
facing the mounting surface, onto the base to secure the
beacon.

WARNING

To avoid risk of injury, install lens before
energizing the unit and do not remove or
insert light source when unit is energized.

Wiring

1. Using wire nuts (not supplied), connect the signal's
wire leads as shown in Figure 1 or 2. Polarity must be
observed on DC models.

- AC Models: Connect the black wire to hot and the

white wire to common.

- DC Models: Connect the red wire to positive (+) and

the black wire to negative (-).

2. Turn on power and verify that the signal operates
properly.

Maintenance

Changing the Flash Mode

WARNING

To change the ash mode from Steady-On to Flashing on
125XBRM beacons or from Steady-On to Lightburst on
125XBRZ beacons, connect the optional yellow wire as
follows:

- AC Models: Connect yellow wire to hot

- DC Models: Connect yellow wire to positive

NOTE: When using as shipped in Steady-On mode, cap

the yellow wire with a wire nut (supplied).

(See Figures 1 - 4 for details.)

Cleaning

Disconnect power before cleaning. The module lens exterior
surfaces should be periodically cleaned with a soft clean
cloth using water and a mild detergent to maintain optimum
light visibility.

To avoid risk of injury, install lens before
energizing the unit.

To avoid the risk of injury, do not start any
maintenance when unit is energized.
