Installation Instructions for Catalog Series 93, 93DF, 94,

94DF, 97 and 97DF AdaptaBeacon

Description

The catalog series 93, 94 and 97 AdaptaBeacon signals are UL
and cUL listed strobe lights suitable for indoor or outdoor (weath­erproof) installation. A hardware kit is included with the 97 series
signals for direct surface mounting applications.

The 93 and 94 series are ac powered; the 97 series signals are dc
powered. These signals are also available in double flash ver­sions (denoted by DF in the catalog numbers). Voltage and cur­rent ratings for all models are shown in Electrical Specifications.

Replacement Parts for the signals are available. Refer to Table 1
for details.

CAUTIONS

To 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 tube only by the base.

1. Disassemble the signal using one of the following applicable
procedures.

a. 93 and 97 Series: Refer to Figure 1. Except for the

voltage ratings, the 93 and 97 series are identical.
Remove the three screws from the skirt, grasp the lens
and lift the lens/skirt straight up off of the base. Then,
remove the three screws holding the strobe tube support
plate to the signal base; grasp the socket (on the strobe
tube support plate) and carefully lift the support plate
off of the signal base. Proceed to step 2.

b. 94 Series: Refer to Figure 2. Remove the three screws

and the rubber gaskets (washers) holding the protective
dome to the signal base. Lift the dome and its rubber
gasket straight up off of the signal base. Then loosen
the three screws in the keyhole slots in the base of the
lens, turn the lens clockwise and lift it off of the strobe
tube support plate. Next, remove the three screws holding
the strobe tube support plate to the signal base; grasp
the socket (on the strobe tube support plate) and carefully
lift the support plate off of the signal base. Proceed to
step 2.

2. The 93 and 94 series signals are conduit mounted. The 97
series can be conduit mounted or direct surface mounted.
Install the signal base using one of the following applicable
procedures.

WARNINGS

To prevent leakage and a potential shock hazard,
when mounting outdoors the signal m ust be
installed with the lens or dome facing directl y up.

WARNINGS

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

To prevent leakage and potential electrical shock,
use care when disassembling the signal to pre vent
tearing of the permanently affixed gaskets provided
for weatherpr oofing.

Conduit Mounting

a. Route the field wiring from the appropriate power source

for the signal through 3/4" (19 mm) NPT conduit and
through the conduit entrance hole in the signal base.
Refer to Figure 1 for the 93 and 97 series signals and
Figure 2 for the 94 series.

b. Install the signal base on the conduit and proceed to step

3.

Direct Surface Mounting (97 Series Signals Only)

a. Remove the three outer knockouts from the bottom of

the signal base. The location of the knockouts
corresponds to the three outer holes in the gasket provided
in the direct mounting hardware kit shown in Figure 3.

b. Place the 7 3/8" (187 mm) mounting gasket on the

mounting surface and mark the center of the four holes
in the gasket on the surface. Refer to Figure 3. Remove
the mounting gasket and drill a 3/8" (9.5 mm) hole at
each of the marked positions.

c. Install the three rubber expansion plugs provided in the

hardware kit into the three outer holes in the mounting
surface as indicated in Figure 4.

d. Route the wiring from the required power source for the

signal (refer to signal's label for voltage rating) through
the center hole in the mounting surface, mounting gasket
and signal base. Use a suitable means to protect the
wiring from chafing in the hole.

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

the signal base. Insert the three screws with lockwashers
(provided in the hardware kit) through the three mounting
holes inside the signal base and align the screws with
the rubber expansion plugs as shown in Figure 4. Press
the signal base firmly against the mounting surface and
tighten the screws. Proceed to step 3.

3. Connect field wiring to signal wiring.

a. 93 and 94 Series: Connect the field wiring to the signal's

wire leads, using wire nuts (not supplied). Polarity is
not important. Connect the green ground wire leads using
wire nuts (not supplied).

b. 97 Series: Connect the field wiring to the signal's wire

leads using wire nuts (not supplied) as follows. Polarity
must be observed. Connect the red positive (+) wire
lead to the positive power source wire and connect the
signal's white negative (-) wire lead to the negative power
source wire.

4. Place the connected wires inside the signal base and
reassemble the signal.

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