How to Install the 151XST-240C Strobe Light
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the 151XST-240C strobe light in hazardous conditions.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Conductive sealant
- Unpack and Inspect the Strobe Light
Carefully unpack the strobe light and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damaged, do not install and file a claim with the carrier.
- Mount the Strobe Light
Choose a suitable location for mounting. For pipe mounting, ensure threads are clean, apply conductive sealant to the threads, and secure the light to a 3/4-inch NPT pipe using the set screw. For surface mounting, use the mounting base as a template to mark and drill holes, then secure the light with installer-supplied hardware.
- Wire the Strobe Light
Ensure power is off before wiring. For AC models, connect the black lead to the hot side and the white lead to the neutral side of the power source. For DC models, connect the red lead to the positive side and the black lead to the negative side. If necessary, connect the green screw to an earth ground. Replace the dome assembly securely.
- Test the Strobe Light
After wiring, restore power to the strobe light and test it to ensure proper operation. Verify that the light flashes as expected.
