5.2. Electrical Connection
The beacon uses a 5-pin M12 integral Quick Disconnect (QD) for electrical connection. Refer to the product's specific wiring diagram for pin assignments.
- Identify the M12 connector pins for power input (12-48 VDC) and any control signals for the audible function.
- Connect the power supply to the appropriate pins, observing correct polarity.
- If utilizing the audible function, connect the control signal as per the wiring diagram.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits or electrical hazards.
6. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and wired, apply the rated voltage (12-48 VDC) to the beacon. The yellow LED illumination will activate immediately.
- To turn the beacon off, remove the power supply.
6.2. Audible Function
The beacon includes an integrated audible alarm. The activation of the audible signal is typically controlled via a separate input pin on the M12 connector or through the main power input, depending on the specific model configuration.
- Refer to the detailed wiring diagram provided with your product for specific instructions on activating and controlling the audible signal.
7. Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning
- Regularly clean the polycarbonate housing with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the housing material and affect visibility.
7.2. Inspection
- Periodically inspect the beacon for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks in the housing or loose components.
- Check electrical connections for corrosion or wear, ensuring the M12 connector remains securely fastened.
- Verify that the light output and audible signal (if applicable) are functioning correctly.
