90 Series 92-N5 Series 92-R5 and 92-S1

Description

The catalog series 90, 92 (120 and 240V AC Models only) and 95
AdaptaBeacon signals are UL and cUL listed, general purpose
visual and visual/audible signaling appliances. The 90 and 92
series signals are strobe lights; the 95 signals are strobe lights with
a single pulsing horn.

The 92 series single flash beacons are available in 120VAC, 240V
AC and 250V DC models. The 240V AC and 250V DC versions
have a larger lens assembly than the 120V version. The 92(*)-S1
beacons are supplied with 3 ft (.9 m) flying leads.

The 90, 92 and 95 series are suitable for indoor or outdoor (weath­erproof) installation and utilize a standard base that allows direct
surface mounting, mounting on a 4" (102 mm) octagon box, or
mounting on 1/2" (13 mm) NPT conduit. When installing in­doors, the signals may be mounted in any position. For outdoor
installation, the signals must be mounted on conduit with their
lens or dome facing directly up.

Installation

WARNINGS

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

To prevent leakage and a potential electrical hazard,
use care when disassembling the signal to prevent
tearing of the weatherproof gaskets. If a
component resists removal due to adhesion to a
gasket,
separate the components by prying them apart with
a thin blade screwdriver.

90, 92, and 95 Series

1. Remove the base from the signal using one of the following

applicable procedures.

a. 90 Series: See Figure 1. Remove the screw in the clamp

ring, remove the ring and lift the dome off the signal.
Loosen the three screws in the base of the lens, turn the
lens clockwise and lift it straight up and off of the strobe
tube support plate, being careful not to damage the strobe
tube. Remove the two screws that are partially set into
the raised area of the strobe tube support plate. Then,
grasp the socket (on the strobe tube support plate) and
carefully lift the support plate off of the signal base.

Pull the wires leads out of the conduit entrance hole in
the base. Proceed to step 2.

b. 92 and 95 Series: See Figures 2 and 3. Remove the screw

in the clamp ring and remove the ring.

force apart by hand; carefully

For the 92-N5 and 95 series, lift the lens/lamp assembly
off of the base and pull the wire leads out of the conduit
entrance hole in the base.

For the 92-R5 and 92-S1 series, lift the lens off of the
signal base, remove the strobe tube support plate and
pull the wire leads out of the conduit entrance hole in the

base. Exercise care so as to not tear the gaskets that are
permanently attached to the lens and signal base.

Proceed to step 2.

2. For indoor installation, the signal may be direct surface
mounted, mounted on a 4" (102 mm) octagon box, or mounted
on 1/2" (13 mm) NPT conduit. For outdoor (weatherproof)

installation, the signal must be conduit mounted. Install the
signal base using one of the following applicable mounting
procedures.

Direct Surface Mounting (Indoor Only)

a. Remove the two-knockouts for mounting screws from

the bottom of the signal base.

b. Route the field wiring from the power source through the

conduit entrance hole in the base.

c. Fasten the base to the surface by installing two #10 wood

a. Remove the two knock-outs for mounting screws from

the bottom of the signal base.

b. Route the field wiring from the power source through

the conduit entrance hole in the base.

c. Fasten the base to the octagon box (not supplied) by

installing the screws supplied with the box through the

Mounting on 1/2" (13 mm) NPT Conduit

WARNING

T o prevent leakage and a potential electrical hazard,
when mounting outdoors the signals must be
installed with the lens or dome facing directly up.

a. Route the field wiring from the power source through the

1/2" (13 mm) NPT conduit (not supplied) and through
the conduit entrance hole in the signal base.

b. Install the base on the conduit. Proceed to step 3 for

wiring connections.

3. Using wire nuts (not supplied) connect the field wiring to the
signal wire leads. Polarity is not important. Connect the
green ground wire leads using wire nuts (not supplied). Place
the connected wires inside the base and reassemble the signal
on the base.

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

Maintenance

WARNING

T o prevent electrical shock, disconnect power and
allow five (5) minutes for stored energy to dissipate
before disassembling the signal.

CAUTIONS

T o prevent damage to the strobe tube, lift the lens
straight up and off of the signal.

To prevent damage to the strobe tube, handle the
strobe only by its base.

Refer to Table 1 for the required strobe tube.

1. After disconnecting the power and waiting five minutes for
stored energy to dissipate, disassemble as follows:

a. 90 Series: Refer to Figure 1. Remove the screw in the

clamp ring, remove the ring and lift off the dome. Loosen
the three screws in the base of the lens, turn the lens
clockwise and lift it straight up and off of the strobe
tube support late, being careful not to dmaage the strobe
tube. Proceed to step 2.

b. 92 Series: Refer to Figures 4 and 5. Remove the screw in

the clamp ring and remove the ring.

For the 92-N5 series, remove the three screws holding
the lens retaining ring and lens to the strobe tube support
plate. Being careful not to tear the gasket which is
permanently affixed to the lens, lift the lens straight up
and off the plate.

For the 92-R5 and 92-S1 series, lift the lens off of the
signal base, being careful not to tear the gaskets
permanently affixed to the lens.

Proceed to step 2.

To prevent leakage and a potential electrical hazard,
use care when disassembling the signal to prevent
tearing of the weatherproof gaskets. If a
component resists removal due to adhesion to a
gasket,
separate the components by prying them apart with
a thin blade screwdriver.

Cleaning

do not

force apart by hand; carefully

CAUTION

T o prevent damage to the lens and/or dome,
use abrasive materials or cleaners.

Periodically clean the signal lens and dome (as applicable) to
maintain optimum light visibility. These items may be cleaned
with a soft cloth or sponge using water or a mild detergent solu­tion. Ensure that the lens and dome are completely dry before
replacing.

do not

c. 95 Series: Refer to Figure 6. Remove the three screws

holding the skirt and lens to the strobe tube support plate.
Lift the skirt up over the lens and off the signal. Being
careful not to tear the gasket which is permanently affixed
to the lens, lift the lens straight up and off the plate.
Proceed to step 2.

2. Grasp the base of the strobe tube and pull firmly, or carefully
pry between the strobe tube base and the socket, to remove
the tube from the socket. Install the new strobe tube by
aligning the key on the strobe tube base with the slot in the
socket and then pressing the strobe tube base onto the socket.
Reassemble the signal.

3. Turn on the power and verify that the strobe operates.
