In order to prevent any damage to the user and other personnel or to assets, note the following:The following symbols classify the following precautions into two categories and explain the level of harm inflicted when caution is disregarded while using this product Indicating an immediately dangerous condition: failure to follow the instructions may lead to death or serious injury.Indicates a potentially dangerous condition: failure to follow the instructions may lead to slight injury or property damage.

WARNING

Make sure the power is off before wiring, repairing, or replacing parts to avoid a short-circuit, electric shock, or burn.
Please use this product in a properly maintained condition. (If parts such as the Head Cover or LED Unit are damaged, they should be repaired.)
Do not use this product with the lens damaged or removed, or without the head cover in order to avoid an electric shock.
If installing this product requires construction work, please ask a specialist in order to avoid electric shock, fire, or personal injury.
When this product is used for security purposes, it should be inspected daily. In case a malfunction should occur, it is recommended that you use this product together with other security products.
Do not use this product to support your weight while climbing onto a machine. Mount the product so that it is clear of any moving parts – such as a machine cover.

CAUTION

Concerning replacement parts, such as LED unit, bulb or fuse, be sure to use those specified in this manual.
For safety, make sure to connect an external fuse to the power source as shown in the wiring example.
Do not substitute parts from other products as this may cause a breakdown.

Installation

The following requirements are necessary for proper installation.
Install where no excessive vibration is present.
Install on a strong surface.
This product can only be used indoors. (Do not use it outdoors.)
Use a soft cloth moistened with water when the LED Unit or Body must be cleaned up. (Do not use thinner, benzine, gasoline or oil.)

How to Install

Drill mounting holes in the wall for L-bracket installation, or in the panel for direct mount installation.
Secure the Metal Fitting with hex bolts and hex nuts (not supplied). * With buzzer models, the alarm can be heard best from the front direction. Therefore, make sure the Signal Tower is facing the correct direction before installation
When the unit is installed on a recessed wall, leave enough space for screwdriver access at both ends as shown in the diagram above.
Use the Metal Fitting as a template to position the mounting holes on the wall in accordance with the installation dimensions diagram.
Remove the Metal Fitting from the unit by removing the 2 screws from the bottom of the lower cover.
As shown in the above diagram, the Metal Fitting and wiring can be installed in a junction box (UL listed 3.5/16″ pitch or JIS C8336 83.5mm pitch). However, the unit will not be watertight.
Mount the Metal Fitting on the wall. Make sure the Metal Fitting is correctly oriented, with the A UP mark on the bracket pointing in the direction of the head cover. Use two 4 mm screws to install the Metal Fitting.
When the unit must be watertight, apply silicone rubber or an equivalent sealant between the wall and Metal Fitting at the wire exit hole.
Hook the rear of the head cover to the 2 pins of the upper bracket, push the lead wires through the thru-hole, taking care not to pinch the wires. Then push the unit snug against the bracket.
Install and tighten the two screws (M4 x 35) removed in step [1] at the bottom of the lower cover. Pressing lightly in the direction indicated by the arrow will make it easier to insert the screws.

Wiring

Make sure the power is OFF before wiring. A short circuit may damage internal circuits or cause an electric shock.
Enough attention shall be paid for wiring because if there is any mistakes in wiring a circuit may break down.
Install the external contact fuse on the power supply side as shown in the wiring example in order to prevent burn in case of a wiring error.
[90V~250V AC Type] Do not apply voltage directly to signal wires and common wires. It may damage the circuit.
Do not apply voltage directly to the brown wire. It may cause a breakdown. (FB type)
Do not pull out the lead wire or push it into the pole or the body.
Simultaneously turning on the external contact for both constant lighting and flashing for the same light (color), may cause another light (color) to light up. To avoid
this, provide separate switches for flashing or continuous lighting.
When turning on the same function, such as flashing or alarms, for more than one product simultaneously, be sure to use separate external contacts for each product and function.
When using both alarm sounds on one product, use separate contacts for the alarms and the lights.
Turn the power OFF.
Make wiring connection according to wiring example.
When wiring 5 layers or less, please make wiring connection by increasing or decreasing external contacts in each layer according to wiring example.
When using LED units of the same color, calculate the contact current capacity to be equal to the number of the LED units multiplied by the contact
capacity for 1 light. (This is because current passes through one signal line for the LED units of the same color.)
When wiring is completed, insulate the end of each unused lead wire with insulation tape.
Any questions regarding applications for multiple units, or other special operations, contact your nearest PATLITE Sales Representative before wiring. [To be recognized as a UL standard.]
Fuse for protection of external contact should be installed within 305mm from the connected point of the power source wire.
Use a “Class 2 Circuit” for the power supply source (Type:24V DC) and be sure to use the fuse and fuseholders authorized by UL, Inc.
Use the fuse conforming to the rated current of the machine which the product was installed on. (Example : Class J type fuse)
For the 90V~250V AC Type, connect the green/yellow lead wire to ground.

CHANGING LED UNIT POSITIONS

Make sure the power is off before wiring, repairing, or replacing parts to avoid a short-circuit, electric shock, or burn.
Do not remove the LED unit forcibly as it may damage the unit.
When the center screw is loosened or removed, the LED units become unstable and may separate. Therefore, handle carefully to avoid damage.
Handle the LED units carefully to avoid warping or damage when changing their positions on the tower.
Screwing the head cover too tight may damage it. The recommended torque is about 0.39N
Turn the power off before changing LED unit positions.
Unscrew the head cover and remove the LED units.
The LED units are connected to each other by connectors. Insulation
Therefore please connect the connector of the top and bottom LED units.
