Homeland Security Light

Description

The Edwards Homeland Security Light is a
unique audible-visual signaling device that
contains either five LED light modules or five
incandescent light modules and a multiple tone
module in a single "stack."

All components of the Triliptical Stackable
Beacon Lighting System are UL listed subas­semblies. The units are UL listed for indoor
and outdoor applications and CSA certified.
The enclosures are NEMA 3R, 4X, and IP65

rated. CE Marked V isual Signal.
The stacklight comes assembled with five color modules as used

by the Homeland Security Advisory System: green, blue, yellow,
orange, and red. See T able 1. Each lens module contains a remov­able cover to allow for easy relamping. The lens module cover
features a molded-in gasket for weather tight reliability.

The unit features a large base with a terminal block with a multiple
tone module installed. The larger base also functions as a junc­tion box.

A pipe mount kit, Cat. No. 102PMF (sold separately) and one of
three extension pipes (sold separately) allows the status indicator
to be raised above the mounting surface for increased visibility.

PLC Compatibility

The electrical input characteristics for PLC compatible signals are
listed in Table 2. Signals with these characteristics may be di­rectly connected to PLC output cards that do not exceed these
input characteristics.

Installation

Installation must be in accordance with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code and other governing standards and codes
for standard installation.

c. Screw the pipe extension (purchased separately) into the

mounting flange.

d. Ground the flange by pulling the ground wire through

the mounting surface clearance hole and center hole of
the gasket. Connect earth ground to the bottom of the
base mount flange using the ground screw (G) and wire
retention terminal cup washer (H).

e. Pull the remaining field wiring through center clearance

hole of mounting surface, center hole of the gasket, pipe
mount flange and extension pipe.

f. Align the mounting gasket (D) and flange (A) on the

panel. Secure using (4) #10-24 x 1" (25 mm) pan head
screws (B), (4) external tooth #10 star washers (E) and
(4) #10-24 hex nuts (F).

g. Mount the base as instructed below.

NOTE: For NEMA3R, 4X, and outdoor applications, it is

recommended that the unit be conduit mounted
vertically facing up.

2. Install base on 3/4" (19 mm) conduit (not supplied). Pull field
wiring through conduit entrance hole.

3. Connect field wiring to the terminal blocks as shown in
Figures 1 and 2.

NOTE: The tone module may be wired to sound independently

or in conjunction with a light signal.

a. To sound tone module independently , connect to separate

hot lead.

b. To sound tone module with a particular light, connect

horn hot terminal to selected light terminal on Cat.
No. 102TBS terminal block.

4. Apply power to the unit and verify proper operation.

1. If using the 102PMF mounting kit, perform the following:

WARNINGS

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

To prevent abrasion of wiring insulation, ensure
that wire passage holes are adequately protected.

Figure 1. Wiring Cat. No. 102TBS

NOTE: All references below are to Figure 4.

a. Using the supplied gasket (D) as a guide, mark the four

mounting holes and the center clearance hole on an
appropriate surface.

b. Punch the four mounting holes. Punch the wiring

clearance hole in the mounting surface to be sufficiently
larger than that in the gasket to ensure the wiring
insulation is protected from abrasion by the gasket
(without interfering with the mounting screw holes), or
provide other appropriate wire insulation abrasion
protection as needed.

Maintenance

Light Source Replacement

1. Loosen captive screws and remove cover of affected lens
module.

2. Remove the light source assembly from the lens module.

WARNING

To prevent leakage, ensure the magnifier ring on the
lens cover and the magnifier ring on the lens module
are aligned (Figure 3).

3. Install new light source assembly ensuring that the four prongs
on the PC board are aligned with the plug located in the back
of the lens module.

4. Replace lens cover and secure using two captive screws.

Cleaning

The lens surfaces should be periodically dusted and cleaned with
a dry soft clean cloth to maintain optimum light visibility. If
necessary , the outside of the lens may be cleaned with water and a
mild detergent on a well rung-out, soft, clean cloth.
