Description

Edwards AdaptaLight Series 101 Stackable Beacon is a unique

signaling appliance which can contain up to five modules, stacked

onto a single AdaptaLight Base Unit (as illustrated above).

AdaptaLight Modules are available in Steady-On Incandescent

(101SIN), Steady-On Halogen (101SINH), Steady-On LED

(101SLED), Flashing Incandescent (101FIN), Flashing Halogen

(101FINH), Flashing LED (101FLED), or Strobe (101ST). Up

to five modules can be used in any position in the AdaptaLight

Stackable Beacon.

The 9 watt halogen bulb is rated by the manufacturer at 52 lu-

mens. The 12 watt halogen bulb is rated by the manufacturer at

70 lumens.

The AdaptaLight base unit (101BS) contains a mini pulsating

horn rated 85 dB at 10 feet (3.05 m). This horn can operate as a

sixth independent signal or with any one of the stacked modules.

The base unit has a screw-type terminal strip for positive hard

wiring. Each module in the stack is electrically interconnected

through solid copper busses and mating contacts to withstand vi-

bration. Each is positively connected to the one below it by a

solid through-bolt for mechanical integrity.

AdaptaLight is UL and cUL listed for direct surface or pipe mount-

ing in non-hazardous dust and weatherproof applications. The

AdaptaLight may be mounted vertically with lenses facing up or

with lenses facing down (on ceiling). The AdaptaLight is not

suitable for weatherproof installations when mounted with the

lenses facing down. The AdaptaLight must never be mounted

horizontally. Assemble and install in accordance with these in-

structions.

The AdaptaLight modules have double fresnel polycarbonate

lenses available in a variety of colors, each providing a 360° non-

shadowed light pattern.

PLC Compatibility

The electrical input load requirements for PLC compatible sig-

naling devices are listed in Table 1. Signaling devices may be

directly connected to output cards that meet these input load re-

quirements.

To prevent electrical shock, do not connect power

until instructed to do so.

WARNING

Installation

This equipment must be installed by a qualified electrician in

accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code

and applicable local codes.

1. Mount the base vertically either facing up or down using one

of the following procedures (Figures 2 and 3).

NOTE: For indoor applications, the base may be direct

surface mounted, mounted on a 4" (102 mm) octagon

box, or mounted on 1/2" (13 mm) NPT conduit. For

outdoor (weatherproof) applications, the base must be

conduit mounted vertically facing up.

a. Loosen the screw in the clamp ring, remove ring and set

aside.

NOTE: A permanently affixed gasket is supplied on the base.

Use care when handling the base unit to prevent

tearing of the gasket.

3. Loosen the slotted panhead through-bolt (on top module). Do not remove the through-bolt from the module; turn the bolt approximately 30 turns. 4. Carefully remove the module and gasket. 5. Continue to disassemble until the component to be replaced is located and replace as follows. CAUTION To prevent damage to the lamp, do not touch glass with bare fingers. Grasp glass with a soft, clean cloth or with packaging supplied with the replacement lamp. 6. 7. Replace the incandescent or halogen lamp. a.

f. On DC models, connect the wires from the horn to the terminal block. On AC models, connect wires using wire nuts (not supplied). Cleaning The AdaptaLight module lens surfaces should be periodically dusted and cleaned with a dry soft clean cloth to maintain optimum light visibility. If necessary, the outer lenses may be cleaned with water and a mild detergent on a well rung out soft clean cloth. Figure 5. Stacking the Modules on AdaptaLight Base Unit Figure 4.
