CAUTION

Ensure that power is disconnected before installing the
signal.

d. Route the wiring from the required power source

for the signal (refer to the signal's label for the
voltage rating) through the center holes in the
mounting surface, gasket and base.

e. Align the holes in the gasket with the holes in the

base. Insert the two screws with lockwashers
provided in the hardware kit through the
mounting holes inside the base and align the
screws with the rubber expansion plugs as shown
in Figure 2. Press the base firmly against the
mounting surface and tighten the screws.

3. Using wire nuts (not supplied), connect one of the
signal's red wire leads to the incoming positive (+)
power source lead and the other to the outgoing
positive (+) power source for the next unit or an end­of-line resistor. Connect one of the signals' white wire
leads to the incoming negative (-) power source lead
and the other to the outgoing negative (-) power source
for the next unit or an end-of-line resistor.

NOTE: Wire run must be broken at each unit for

electrical supervision.

1. Remove the screw in the clamp ring, remove the ring
and lift off the dome (Figure 1).

2. Install the base using one of the following applicable
procedures.

Conduit Mounting

a. Route the wiring from the required power source

for the signal (refer to the signal's label for voltage
rating) through a 1/2" NPT conduit (not supplied)
and through the conduit entrance hole in the base.

b. Install the base on the conduit.

Direct Surface Mounting

a. Remove the two knockouts for the mounting

screws from the bottom of the base. See Figure 1
for the location of the knockouts.

b. Place the gasket provided in the hardware kit on

the mounting surface and mark the center of the
three holes in the gasket on the surface. Remove
the gasket and drill a 3/8" hole at each of the
marked positions.

c. Install the two rubber expansion plugs provided

in the hardware kit into the two outer holes in
the mounting surface as indicated in Figure 2.

CAUTION

Always disconnect power before disassembling the
signal.

Lamp Replacement

1. Replace the lamp as follows (Refer to Specifications
for the required lamp.):

a. Disconnect power.

b. Remove the screw in the clamp ring and remove

the ring.

c. Lift the dome off the signal.

d. Replace the lamp.

CAUTION

Do NOT use abrasive materials or cleaners to clean the
dome.

Cleaning

The dome should be periodically cleaned to maintain light
visibility. The dome may be cleaned with a soft cloth or
sponge using a mild detergent. Dry the dome thoroughly
before replacing.
