125XBRi Series LED Multi-Status Indicator in

NEMA 4X Enclosures

Description

The 125XBRi Series Chameleon Multi-Status LED Indicator
is a UL and cUL listed, multi-color LED signaling appliance
in a NEMA 4X rated enclosure. The indicator can be panel
or conduit mounted. A protective guard, Cat. No. 125GRD,
is also available.

The lights are available in 24V DC and 120V 50/60 Hz. They
are available in either Red/Blue/Amber or Red/Green/Amber.

Edwards Signaling's NEW 125XBRi Multi-status Indicator
is more "chameleon-like" than ever. With our new adaptive
design - one device does it all. With a quick change to the
new 125 Chameleon's dip switch settings, these exible
multi-status indicators instantly adapt for use with or without
control from an external PLC, PAC, or control relay. Now,
regardless of the application you will have just the right device
for the job with only half the inventory.

XTRA-SAFE Enabled

The Chameleon 125XBRi devices ship as standard with
Edwards Signaling's XTRA-SAFETM Technology (patent
pending) Enabled. XTRA-SAFE multi-status indicating
devices employ patented combinations of color AND ash­rate to provide more denite status indication to those who
are color-blind. With XTRA-SAFE, when Chameleon multi­status indicators are turned red, they pulse at a rate of 240
ashes per minute, further emphasizing the urgency which
the color red typically connotes. When amber, these devices
pulse at a "less urgent" rate of 120 ashes per minute. When
Chameleon multi-status indicators are turned blue or green
and no other colors are energized, the Chameleon devices
remain "steady-on" and do not ash. Even in extreme cases
where no color is perceived, ash-rate variation provides a
redundant layer of visual indication.

When XTRA-SAFE Technology is enabled, and multiple col­ors are energized, the device will cycle through the energized
colors at the following pre-set ash-rates:

the unit pulses at a rate of 65 ashes per minute. When
Chameleon multi-status indicators are turned green or blue
and no other colors are energized, the Chameleon devices
remain "steady on" and do not ash.

When XTRA-SAFE Technology is disabled, and multiple col­ors are energized, the device will cycle through all energized
colors at 65 FPM.

Externally Controlled

The Chameleon multi-status indicators can also be used in
applications where they will be controlled "externally" using a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or other such external
controller. When externally controlled by a PLC, activation
of colors and ash-rate are fully customizable, and can be
programmatically determined. In applications, where multiple
colors are activated simultaneously, the lights operate on a
priority with red highest, amber second and blue or green,
the lowest. Refer to Figure 1 (Applications WITH a separate
PLC or Controller).

Wire color corresponds with each indicated color.

Red wire = Red LED's

Yellow wire = Amber LED's

Blue with Green tracer wire = Green or Blue LED's

XTRA-SAFE Disabled

While in most cases, the added layer of safety gained by op­erating a multi-status indicator with XTRA-SAFE Technology
is desirable, some applications may not require differentiation
in ash rates. In other applications, changes do not corre­spond to escalating levels of urgency. The adaptive design
of the new Chameleon 125 XBRi allows the product to be
adapted to accommodate these requirements by conguring
the dipswitches as shown in Figure 1 (Applications WITH­OUT a separate PLC or Controller - XTRA-SAFE Technology
Disabled). With XTRA-SAFE Disabled, when red or amber,

Installation

1. Remove (4) screws securing the lens to the base from
bottom of base (Figure 2) and remove lens.

WARNING

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

The 125XBRi Multi-Status indicator is shipped with XTRA­SAFE Technology Enabled. The unit offers two other eld
selectable options: (1) for applications without a separate
PLC or controller with the XTRA-SAFE Technology disabled
or (2) for applications with a separate PLC or controller. For
more information on the features, refer to the description.
For settings, refer to Figure 1.

XTRA-SAFE Enabled

WARNING

To avoid risk of injury, install lens before
energizing the unit and do not remove or
insert light source when unit is energized.

- Applications without a separate PLC or Controller

- XTRA-SAFE Technology Disabled: Set dipswitch
SW1 to the OFF position and SW2 to the ON
position.

XTRA-SAFE Disabled

- Applications with a separate PLC or Controller - Set
dipswitches SW1 and SW2 to the OFF position.

2. Replace lens on base and secure with (4) screws
removed in step 1.
