Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Unpack and Inspect the Unit

    Carefully unpack the FB24ST Fireball Light and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damaged, do not attempt to install and file a claim with the carrier.

  2. Mount the Light

    Choose a suitable mounting location and secure the light to a flat surface or a 1/2-inch NPT or M20 threaded pipe. For surface mounting, use the gasket as a template to mark and drill three mounting holes and a central hole for wiring. Attach the light using the provided screws.

  3. Make Electrical Connections

    Ensure power is off before connecting wires. For AC models, connect the black leads to the phase side of the incoming and outgoing power, the white leads to the common side, and the green/yellow lead to earth ground. For DC models, connect the red leads to the positive side and the black leads to the negative side, observing polarity.

  4. Test the Installation

    After completing the wiring, turn the power back on and test the light to ensure it operates correctly. Verify that all connections are secure and that the light is functioning as intended.

  5. Finalize Installation

    Once testing is complete, ensure all screws are tightened and provide a copy of the instruction sheet to operating personnel. Establish a routine check procedure for the light installation.
