Always ensure proper installation and adherence to all local and national electrical codes. Disconnect power before installing or servicing the beacon. Do not look directly into the light when it is active, as it may cause eye strain or temporary vision impairment.

This Class 3 beacon is intended for applications where high intensity is not required, such as indoor environments or areas with minimal direct sunlight. Using this light in bright outdoor conditions may reduce its effectiveness as a warning signal.

Pamasangan

The L53AP beacon is available in both permanent mount and magnetic mount versions. This manual primarily covers the permanent mount version as indicated by the model number L53AP, but also provides information on the magnetic mount variant for context.

Permanent Mount Installation

For permanent mounting, select a flat, stable surface on your vehicle or equipment. Ensure the mounting location allows for clear visibility of the beacon from all necessary angles. The unit typically requires drilling holes for secure attachment.

1. Mark the drilling points using the beacon's base as a template.
2. Drill appropriate pilot holes for the mounting screws.
3. Secure the beacon to the surface using the provided hardware (screws, washers, nuts).
4. Connect the power wires: typically, the black wire is negative (-) and the yellow wire is positive (+). Ensure connections are secure and insulated.

Magnetic Mount (Variant Information)

While the L53AP is a permanent mount model, a magnetic mount version of the L53 series is also available. This version features a strong magnetic base for temporary attachment to metallic surfaces. It typically includes a power cord with a cigarette lighter plug for easy connection to a vehicle's 12V power outlet.

The magnetic mount version usually has an integrated on/off switch on the power plug. Note that magnetic mount versions typically have a fixed light pattern and do not offer the 15 different flash patterns available with the permanent mount version.

Operasi

Once properly installed and connected to a 12V DC power source, the Whelen L53 beacon will activate. For permanent mount versions, the flash pattern can be selected from 15 different options, providing versatility for various warning needs. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for pattern selection (not provided in this general manual).

For magnetic mount versions, operation is typically controlled by the on/off switch on the power plug, and the flash pattern is fixed.
