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, Drill, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gasket, Wire connectors

  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 attempt to install and file a claim with the carrier.

  2. Mount the Light

    Using the gasket as a template, mark the three mounting holes and the center hole for wiring on the mounting surface. Drill three 3/16" (4.8 mm) holes for the screws and one 1" (25.4 mm) hole for the wires. Secure the light using the provided #8-32 screws.

  3. Make Electrical Connections

    Ensure power is off before making connections. For 120/230-240 VAC models, connect the black (or brown) lead to the phase side, the white (or blue) lead to the neutral side, and the green/yellow lead to earth ground. For 12-24VDC models, connect the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal, ensuring polarity is observed.

  4. Test the Installation

    After completing the installation and connections, turn on the power and test the light to ensure it operates correctly. Verify that all screws are tightened and the unit is securely mounted.
