FOUNDATION - ANCHOR BOLT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Conduit – Electrical and communication line conduit should be run through the
center of the foundation hole with a maximum combined diameter of three
inches. A minimum of four inches and a maximum of six inches of conduit is
required above the finished grade level. To ensure proper grounding, a ½-inch x
8-foot copper rod should be inserted in the center of the foundation and tied to
the steel enclosure. (Note: Follow all national and local codes governing this
installation.)
Pour the foundation – The foundation should be at least 18 inches in diameter
and the correct depth for the frost line in your area, with a minimum depth of at
least three feet. (Follow your local building codes for foundations.)
Set the anchor bolts in the wet foundation – Four 24-inch L-shaped anchor
bolts and an aligning template are supplied for anchoring the unit. The bolts
should be set into the foundation so that six inches are showing above the
finished grade level. The anchor bolts should be aligned using the supplied
template so the faceplate on the unit will face the desired direction.
Wiring – Pull power and phone line up through the conduits. A minimum of two
feet of wire must be available from the conduit for electrical and
communications wiring.
CBRT Installation Instructions

All wiring must be installed and connected by experienced and certified personnel to meet local
and national electrical codes, and will include a service disconnect.

SET THE UNIT
Screw one set of nuts and washers onto the anchor bolts – After the foundation
has set, screw one set of nuts followed by one set of washers onto the anchor bolts.
Set the nuts so the lowest washer is about 2½ inches above the concrete and at an
even height. To accomplish this, use a small level and check all three directions.
These nuts are not adjustable after the unit is in place. The bottom edge of the unit
will be ½-inch above the concrete when installed.
Set the unit on the anchor bolts – Align the faceplate in the desired direction, then
lift the unit over the anchor bolts. Note that the unit weighs approximately 225
pounds. Use appropriate lifting materials and methods to avoid possible injury
and/or damage.
Secure the unit – Access the mounting studs through the door on the side of the
unit and tighten the mounting nuts onto the anchor bolts. This may be more
convenient if a long socket, extension and universal joint is used to tighten the
hardware.
INSTALL COMBINATION BEACON/STROBE
Gasket – Place the strobe gasket on top of the enclosure.
Connect the cords – Plug the wires from the beacon-strobe into the mating plug at
the top of the enclosure.
Fasten the beacon/strobe – Using the supplied screws, fasten the beacon-strobe to
the top of the enclosure.
WIRING
Ground – The ground (green) wire should be stripped and fastened to the supplied
grounding lug.
24V AC supply – Using the proper crimping tool, attach a #8 fork to each of the
incoming power wires and fasten them to the terminal screws labeled “24V AC.”
120/240V AC supply – Using the proper crimping tool, attach a #8 fork to each of
the incoming power wires and fasten them to the correct terminals as labeled on
the transformer. After completing the wire connections, install the supplied terminal
covers.
IMPORTANT: The leveling of the bottom nuts is crucial to the leveling of the unit. A small
error will be magnified after installation.
IMPORTANT: A ½-inch air gap is required between the foundation and the unit. Moisture
problems may result if this condition is not complied with
CBRT Installation Instructions (continued)

FOR WIRING
IN LINE WITH PIPE
Camera and wiring (supplied by others) is installed into the male 1½ NPT.
Place the bracket over the mounting holes and insert the four 3/8-16 X 1 stainless
bolts. (The 3/8” stainless steel bolts should have one stainless steel washer and one
rubber washer.)
Verify the camera mount is evenly positioned to ensure the gasket seal is properly
seated.
Tighten the bolts with your 3/8” wrench in a crisscross pattern to ensure even
pressure until it is snug against the outside of the enclosure.
The camera mount will come with a gasket already mounted to the bracket on the arm.
Overhead Camera Mount Installation
Installing the Camera
All wiring must be installed and connected by experienced and certified personnel to meet local and national
electrical codes, and will include a service disconnect.

SUPPLY WIRING
Pulling the power wires – Wire should be a minimum of 14 AWG and be pulled
into the unit, leaving a minimum of two feet of wire from the opening of the
conduit.
Pulling the communications wire (if needed) – Communications wire must be
shielded phone line. The phone line must be pulled into the unit using a separate
conduit from the power, and be run so as to extend a minimum of two feet out
of the phone opening.
CONNECT THE POWER WIRES
Make the connections – Locate the grounding lug and connect the ground wire.
Using 115V AC supply – Connect the colored (hot) wire to the black wire, and
connect the white or gray (neutral) wire to the white wire.
Higher voltage supply – If the unit was ordered for a higher voltage, a pre-wired
power brick will be located on the top of the electrical panel with a 24 volt
secondary to supply the low voltage manifold and power brick to supply the
area light. Connect the colored (hot) wire and the white or gray (neutral) wire to
the white wire in the junction box.
CONNECT THE PHONE LINE (if required) – See phone Installation Instructions.
APPLY POWER – The unit should become operational immediately after the power
is energized.
IMPORTANT: All wiring shall comply with national and local codes governing this
installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure these conditions are
complied with.

CAUTION
The Steadyburn Mode will be ON in dark or night ambient environments and OFF in
bright or daylight ambient environments. The S-1050 LED Beacon/Strobe has two
built-in photo response features: (a) dawn/dusk transition delay of 15-30 minutes
and (b) transient light acknowledgement delay of at least 3 minutes.
To activate the LEDs in the PRIMARY-STEADYBURN MODE, connect the BLACK and
RED wires to 12-24 volts AC or DC.
When in PRIMARY-STEADYBURN MODE, to change the LEDs to SECONDARY-FLASH
MODE, connect both YELLOW control wires together (i.e., CLOSED = ON).

PROGRAMMING PRIMARY & SECONDARY MODES
1. Remove power from unit.
2. Short the Yellow wires together.
3. Restore power to the unit and wait until the unit begins to flash. Once the unit begins to flash, remove the short. The unit will
alternately demonstrate the Secondary-Flash Mode and Primary-Steadyburn Mode that will be displayed during operation. For
approximately 4 seconds the Secondary-Flash Mode will be demonstrated, followed by the Primary-Steadyburn Mode.
4. To select the next mode of operation, momentarily short the yellow wires. The unit will cycle to the next mode in the list above.
5. There are seven Flash Modes and three Steadyburn Modes combinations to choose from.
6. When you reach the desired mode of operation, remove power from the unit. You MUST leave power disconnected for 20 seconds
BEFORE reapplying. When power is reapplied, the unit will operate as programmed above.
NOTE: If you do not leave power disconnected for 20 seconds before reapplying power, the light will default to Program Mode.
