Installation Instructions for ChameleonTM 103 Series
LED Multi-Status Indicator in NEMA 4X Enclosures
Description
The 103 Series Chameleon Multi-Status LED Indicator is a UL
and cUL listed, multi-color LED signaling appliance in a NEMA
4X and IP65 rated enclosure. The modules can be panel mounted
or conduit mounted.
The lights are available in 24V DC and 120V 50/60 Hz. They are
available in either red, blue and amber or red, green and amber.
The lights are designed such that any one or all three lights can be
activated using a PLC.

Installation
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, ensure that power is turned
off before installing the signal.
Conduit Mounting (Figure 1)
1. Thread the 18" (45.7 cm) signal wire leads through either
1/2" (13mm) or 3/4" (19 mm) conduit into an approved
conduit outlet box. (Product is supplied with a double
threaded - 1/2" (13mm) internal and 3/4" (19mm) external conduit hub.)
2. Wire the beacon as follows:
a. For AC models: There are four 18" wire leads: white
(neutral), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with green
stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs--depending
on model) and amber (for activation of amber LEDs).
Using wire nuts, connect white lead to AC neutral and
connect each of the other three leads to AC hot.
b. For DC models: There are four 18" wire leads: black
(common), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with
green stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs-depending on model) and amber (for activation of amber
LEDs).
Using wire nuts, connect black lead to DC common and
connect each of the other three leads to DC hot.

Panel Mounting (Figure 2)
Note: The integrity of the outdoor, NEMA 4X rating on the panel
assembly at the interface with the 103 Series Chameleon relies
on the construction and configuration details of the mounting
surface. 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.
3. Wire the beacon as follows:
a. For AC models: There are four 18" wire leads: white
(neutral), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with green
stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs--depending
on model) and amber (for activation of amber LEDs).
Using wire nuts, connect white lead to AC neutral and
connect each of the other three leads to AC hot.
b. For DC models: There are four 18" wire leads: black
(common), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with
green stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs-depending on model) and amber (for activation of amber
LEDs).
Using wire nuts, connect black lead to DC common and
connect each of the other three leads to DC hot.
4. Turn on power and verify that the signal operates properly.
Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid the risk of injury, do not start any maintenance
when unit is energized. Reinstall lens beore energizing
unit.
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. Disconnect power before cleaning.
Lens Replacement
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before
removing the lens.
3. Thread the conduit onto the base of the signal.
4. Turn on power and verify that the signal operates properly.
1. Remove (4) screws securing the lens to the base from bottom
of base and remove lens.
2. Replace lens on base and secure with (4) screws removed in
step 1.
