Installation Tips and requirements:
For the Mains cable, it is recommended that the electrician or installer calculate the wire
requirements based on the amount of Flash heads being installed. It is recommended
that no install utilizes less than 16AWG wire with at least a 90ºC temperature rating. See
electrical parameters.
For RS485 cabling; 3 cores of 18AWG, drain wire plus a shield and braid for adequate
grounding and signals are required. RS485 is only required for E1+1 and larger
structures where multiple Strobes are required.
Cable between the Flash head and the controller must be a minimum of 14AWG and 4
conductors with foil and braid. Maximum distance between the controller and the Flash
head is 630feet.
NOTE: Failure to do any of the above could void all factory warranties. If in doubt please
contact your sales agent or representative.
During installing on the tower proper grounding techniques should be utilized.
The system has built in Lightning and RF immunity at each section, but for it to be
effective proper ground connection techniques must be used. For more details or
contact your local sales rep.

Installing the RS485 to additional power supplies
NOTE: For an E1 system there is no externally connected RS485.
NOTE: For structures lager than the above additional external communications need to
be added between the RS485 surge board and the translator boards in each of the
additional power supplies.
NOTE: For systems larger than E2 daisy chaining between the translator boards is
required.
NOTE: Translator boards are located in power supply enclosures NOTE:
The controller translator board is to be set to zero.

NOTE: Factory default is 30fpm
NOTE: This is a global change that will affect all tiers of sidelights at once.
NOTE: This change will not affect white flashes.
Flash per min = 30
u/d=chg, enter=done
J) If sidelights are to be calibrated at this time (if not calibrated as per the previous
section of this manual or the quantity or wiring of sidelights has changed since
previous calibration), use “UP” and “DWN” buttons to change from “NO” to
“YES”, and then press “ENTR.” The system will reset and the sidelight board
will perform its calibration sequence.

K) If the Photocell mode transition alarm (18 hour alarm) is not needed as an
alarm this selection can disable it.
NOTE: Typically used where there long day or night operations.
Selecting YES: If the photocell does not detect day or night after 18 hours, the
system will alarm after 18 hours and will switch to Day mode. To clear this alarm the
system requires a local reset or a forced operation change locally or remotely.
Selecting NO: After 18 hours of not transitioning the system will log an event in the
log but the system will continue to operate normally based on light conditions. No
alarm via dry contact or mod bus will be generated.

u/d=chg, enter=done
Once the selection for the Beacon steady red Night is completed the next screen to be
displayed is the “Config Type”.
NOTE: Typically used outside of the US. FAA regulations require the beacon to be
flashing so most typical installation will have this selection set to “NO” to ensure a
flashing beacon.

To monitor the dry contacts on the relay board, the dry contact readers will have to be
wired in to the relay contacts marked (Com, NO, and NC). Relays are marked as if
there is no power is applied to the system.
WARNING: It is highly recommended that by using a multi-meter the dry contacts be
measured for “open” or “closed” by using the OHM setting on the meter.
The relays can measured for open or closed with power applied to the base controller.
NOTE: If only one dry contact reader is present then the relays need to be multiplexed
together to give one output as shown below:
NOTE: If less than 7 dry contact readers then 1 or more dry contacts can be
multiplexed together.
NOTE: Dry contact Relay 8 is only for Day and night monitoring and not Alarm relay
but indication of the mode the system is currently in.
