5. Setup and Installation
- Power Disconnection: Ensure all power to the installation area is disconnected before beginning.
- Mounting: Securely mount the signal pillar using its threaded base. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and capable of supporting the device.
- Wiring: Connect the signal pillar's wires to the appropriate 24V power supply and control system. Refer to the wiring diagram (if provided separately with the product) for specific connections for continuous or flashing modes. Typically, different wires control each LED segment and the flashing function.
- Environmental Seal: Ensure the IP65 rating is maintained after installation by properly sealing all connections and mounting points, especially in environments where dust or water ingress is a concern.
- Power Connection: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the system.
6. Operating Instructions
The TRU COMPONENTS Signal Pillar operates by receiving a 24V signal to illuminate its LED segments. The specific wiring configuration determines whether a segment illuminates continuously or flashes.
- Continuous Lighting: Apply 24V to the designated wire for the desired LED segment (e.g., red or green) to achieve continuous illumination.
- Flashing Lighting: If wired for flashing operation, applying 24V to the corresponding wire will activate the flashing mode for that LED segment. Consult your system's wiring diagram for specific control signals.
- Multiple Segments: Both red and green segments can be activated independently or simultaneously, depending on the control system's design.
7. Maintenance
The TRU COMPONENTS Signal Pillar is designed for low maintenance. Regular checks can ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the signal pillar with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the housing and wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections.
- Seal Integrity: For IP65 rated protection, ensure all seals and cable glands remain intact and properly tightened.
- Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Signal pillar does not illuminate. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; faulty LED segment. | Check 24V power supply; verify wiring connections against diagram; if power and wiring are correct, the LED segment may require replacement. |
| LED segment illuminates continuously instead of flashing (or vice-versa). | Incorrect wiring for flashing/continuous mode. | Review wiring diagram and ensure correct connections for the desired operating mode. |
| Intermittent operation. | Loose wiring connection; unstable power supply. | Inspect all wiring connections for tightness; check power supply stability. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact customer support or a qualified technician.
