2. Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or operating the device. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the product.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply matches the product's rated voltage (AC100V). Disconnect power before installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Only qualified personnel should perform electrical wiring.
- Mounting: Mount the unit securely on a stable surface capable of supporting its weight (0.9 kg). Refer to the mounting dimensions for proper installation.
- Environment: The product has an IP23 protection class. Avoid exposing it to conditions beyond this rating, such as direct water jets or extreme dust, unless otherwise specified.
- Handling: Do not drop or subject the unit to strong impacts. The globe is made of AS resin; handle with care to prevent scratches or cracks.
- Heat: The bulb generates heat during operation. Do not touch the globe immediately after use. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the KG-100-R rotating warning light.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the unit from its packaging and inspect for any damage. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
- Mounting Location: Select a flat, stable surface for mounting. Consider visibility and environmental conditions.
- Drilling Holes: Refer to the mounting dimension diagram (Figure 2) for precise hole placement. Drill three Φ9mm mounting holes and a Φ30mm (minimum) cable hole for the power cord.
- Secure Mounting: Use the three M8 bolts on the base of the unit to secure it to the mounting surface. Ensure the unit is firmly attached to prevent vibration or displacement during operation.
- Wiring: Connect the AC100V power supply to the unit's cable. The unit comes with a 450mm VCT cable (nominal cross-sectional area 0.75mm2) with a plug. Ensure all electrical connections comply with local electrical codes and safety standards.

4. Operating Instructions
The KG-100-R is designed for straightforward operation.
- Power On: Once properly installed and wired, connect the power plug to an AC100V outlet. The rotating light will immediately begin operation.
- Operation: The internal reflector will rotate, causing the light to flash at a rate of approximately 180 times per minute. The unit is designed for continuous operation.
- Power Off: To turn off the unit, disconnect the power plug from the outlet or switch off the power supply to the circuit.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your KG-100-R.
- Cleaning:
- Periodically wipe the outer globe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these can damage the AS resin globe.
- Ensure the unit is powered off and cool before cleaning.
- Bulb Replacement:
- If the light stops flashing, the bulb may need replacement. Disconnect power before attempting replacement.
- Carefully remove the globe by twisting or unfastening its securing mechanism (refer to product diagram for specific method).
- Replace the old bulb with a new 120V 40W bulb. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Reattach the globe securely.
- Belt Inspection: The unit uses a silicone belt drive system for quiet and durable operation. If you notice unusual noise or inconsistent rotation, the belt may need inspection or replacement by a qualified technician.
