How to Install the FB2PST Fireball Light

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the FB2PST Fireball light on a surface or pipe.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Gasket

  1. Unpack and Inspect the Unit

    Carefully unpack the FB2PST unit and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damaged, do not proceed with installation and file a claim with the carrier.
