BANNER TL70 Modular Tower Light Instruction Manual

TL70 Modular Tower Light
Instruction Manual

Banner’s TL70 Tower Light is a 70 mm, modular LED indicator with extremely bright and uniform light. The modularity gives the user flexibility to customize tower lights as needed and change positions in the field. The TL70 is also available preassembled for easy installation.

• Light segments have user-selectable solid ON or flashing
• Up to six colors, or five colors plus audible, in one device
• Rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV-stabilized material
• Bright, uniform indicator segments appear gray when off to eliminate false indications from ambient light
• Several connection options to choose from include M12 quick-disconnect cabled, and terminal-wired

Models

Select the 5-pin base for tower light configurations of up to 4 modules. Select the 8-pin base for tower light configurations of up to 6 modules.

• Example base model number: B-TL70-Q5
• Example light segment model number: SG-TL70-G
• Example audible segment model number: SG-TL70-A

TL70 Pre-Assembled Models

• Example pre-assembled model number: TL70GYRAQ.

Configuring the Modules

Turn on the appropriate DIP switch to set the order of the components, counting up from the tower light’s base.

Programming the Audible Tower Module

Loading Files into the SG-TL70-AP
The SG-TL7-AP has 4MB of onboard flash memory and can playback any WAV or MP3 audio file that is 4MB or smaller. If the file is too large, a program such as Audacity can be used to compress or shorten the file to decrease the size.
Multiple files can be loaded onto the SG-TL70-AP. Files playback according to the file name in alpha-numeric order.
Note: Add a number to the beginning of the file name to create the order in which the files run. Files play consecutively without any pause.
To program the module:

1. Remove the module top cover by rotating counterclockwise.

2. Connect the programming cable (USB-USBM-1) from the PC’s USB connection to the USB mini-connection of the audible module.
   The SG-TL70-AP is recognized by the PC as a USB flash drive. The default drivers for a USB drive are assigned to the device, as well as a unique disk drive letter assignment (such as D:).

3. Drag-and-drop the audio files that are saved on the PC to the USB drive location.

4. Assign numbers to each file to designate their playback order, otherwise files playback in alpha-numeric order.

5. Remove the cable from the audio module.

6. Re-install the top cover by aligning the protruding alignment marks and turning clockwise.

7. The audible module is now ready for use with a compatible TL70 DC Base or Universal Voltage AC Base.

When the selected Input Channel is activated, the audible module begins playing the files in sequential order.

Assembling the Modules
