Installation and Maintenance Instructions
Wiring the Beacon
REVERSE POLARITY/MISWIRING: To avoid damage to the light,
ensure that the input voltage is the same as the voltage rating of
the light. Ensure that correct polarity is observed. Also ensure
that the unit is properly fused with a 2.0-amp fuse.

To wire the beacon:
1. Determine the required functions and the length of wires
needed to access them. A five-conductor cable can be
selected for a full-featured installation. For lengths up to
15 feet (5 m), use minimum 18 AWG (1 mm
over 15 feet, use minimum 16 AWG (1.5 mm
wiring the beacon, refer to Table 3 for the function of each
wire.
2. Strip 1/4 inch (5 mm) of insulation from the ends of the
installer-supplied wires.
3. Use insulated butt connectors to connect the wires to the
power cable of the beacon. Ensure that the connectors are
securely crimped and properly insulated.
4. Connect the end of the fuse holder to the positive (+)
terminal of the voltage source.
