Description

The 3000SD Series visual signals are flange mount strobes
designed for industrial applications and for applications
where warning on a moving vehicle is necessary. The light
has 80 nominal single flashes per minute at 1.5 Joules. It
is a low current, 12-48V DC unit. The twist on-off lens
makes for easy strobe tube and/or lens replacement.

Installation

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, do not connect power
until instructed to do so.

Installation must be in accordance with local codes. The
lens should be positioned up for outdoor applications.

1. For side exit wiring, remove the knockout from the
bottom of the flange as shown in Figure 2.

2. Using the template provided (Figure 3), drill 3
mounting holes and a hole for concealed wiring, if
desired.

3. Connect the red positive (+) lead to the positive power
source wire and the black negative (-) lead to the
negative power source wire using the butt splices
(supplied).

4. Align the provided gasket and the flange on the
mounting holes and secure using (3) screws,
lockwashers and nuts (supplied).

5. Apply power and verify operability.

Maintenance

The lens should be periodically cleaned using a mild de­tergent and water on a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.

Light Source Replacement

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power and
wait 5 minutes for the strobe tube energy to dissipate
before opening the unit.

1. Unscrew the lens from the base.

2. Replace the strobe tube as follows:

a. Grasp the strobe tube by its base and pull straight

up out of the strobe tube socket.

b. Grasp the new strobe tube by the strobe tube base

and press into the strobe tube socket.

3. Confirm O-ring gasket is seated and aligned properly
on the inside of the lens.

4. Screw the lens onto the base.
