4. Setup and Installation
The B1L120 beacon light is designed for permanent surface mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Choose a Mounting Location: Select a flat, stable surface that can support the beacon's weight and provide optimal visibility. Ensure the location is clear of obstructions.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the beacon's base or the foam bottom basket as a template to mark the two mounting hole positions on the chosen surface.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill appropriate pilot holes for the mounting screws.
- Secure the Beacon: Place the foam bottom basket, then the beacon, aligning the mounting holes. Insert the provided screws through the base and secure with washers and nuts from underneath the mounting surface. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Electrical Connection:
- WARNING: Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
- Connect the beacon's power wires to a 110V-120V AC power source. Use the provided wire connectors to ensure secure and insulated connections.
- Ensure proper polarity if specified, though for AC, typically live and neutral can be interchanged unless a specific switch or control is involved. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
- Route wiring safely to prevent damage or tripping hazards.
- Test Operation: Once installation and wiring are complete, restore power and verify the beacon light illuminates steadily.
