Location and Mounting

The location of the Alarm Bar should be made with due regard to the area over which the warning signal must be visible/audible. It should only be fixed to poles that can bear the weight of the unit.
The Alarm Bar should be secured to a pole using supplied TXP-WABX Pole Mounting Kit (Pole size up to 4” NPS).

To mount the unit to poles up to size NPS 4”, the pole mount kit should be used (Fig. 1b, 1c). The unit should be mounted using all supplied clamps as shown.

TXP-WABX Instruction Manual (Rev. 1.0)

To replace cover, check that the ‘O’ ring seal is in place.
Carefully push the cover in place. Insert and tighten down M4 screws and fibre washers.

Power Supply Selection

The Alarm Bar accepts power from a supply providing 115 VAC 50/60Hz. This is converted to 24 VDC via the onboard transformer, which provides DC power to the alarm horn, beacons, and wireless relay.

Please see individual product instruction manual for component Voltage Range, Current and Max Current values.

Selection of Cable, Cable Glands, Blanking Elements & Adapters

Please see individual product instruction manual.
The Alarm Bar is supplied with the following cable entries:

2 x 1/2″ NPT

Earthing

The Alarm Bar is provided with an M4 earth post on the plate. External earthing connections should be made to the M4 earthing post (fig. 3) using a ring crimp terminal to secure the earth conductor to the earth stud.

Cable Connections

Electrical connections are to be made into the terminals located in the junction box enclosure. See section 5 of this manual for access to the enclosure. Wires with cross sectional area of 0.5mm² to 2.5mm² may be connected to the terminals. Wires should be stripped to 8mm.

Wires may also be fitted using ferrules. Connections should be tightened with torque 0.56 Nm / 5 Lb-in. When connecting wires to the terminals great care should be taken to dress the wires so that when the cover is inserted into the chamber the wires do not exert excess pressure on the terminal blocks. This is particularly important when using cables with large cross-sectional areas such as 2.5mm².

Wiring

Interchangeable & Spare Parts
