How to Install the FSEX Strobe Light

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing and wiring the FSEX strobe light in hazardous locations.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Prepare the mounting location

    Ensure the mounting surface is clean and suitable for the installation of the pendant mount. The recommended position is vertical with the dome facing down.

  2. Mount the pendant

    Thread the pendant mount onto the 3/4" N.P.T. pipe and secure it with the set screw. Ensure the threads are clean and lubricated to prevent galling.

  3. Connect the wiring

    Connect the incoming positive wire to the terminal marked 'L+' and the outgoing positive wire to the terminal marked 'B'. Connect the incoming negative wire to 'N–' and the outgoing negative wire to 'A'. If required, connect the earth ground wire to the green screw.

  4. Attach the strobe light

    Thread the strobe light fixture clockwise into the pendant mount and tighten it securely. Ensure that all connections are tight and that the unit is properly sealed.

  5. Test the installation

    Before applying power, double-check all connections and ensure that the power is off. Once verified, apply power and test the strobe light to ensure it operates correctly.
