Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, O-rings

  1. Unpack and Inspect the Equipment

    Carefully unpack the MSLED-A 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.

  2. Mount the Base

    Remove the colored lenses by twisting the bottom lens counter-clockwise until it unlocks. Lift it off to expose the base. Secure the base to a 3/4" NPT pipe or a flat surface using the appropriate screws, ensuring it is level and tightly fastened.

  3. Make Electrical Connections

    Feed the control wires through the NPT opening in the base. Connect the wires to the female terminal block plug, ensuring to match the terminals labeled '1' through '5' with the corresponding lamp positions. Do not connect wires when power is applied to avoid electrical shock hazards.

  4. Reassemble the Unit

    Ensure that O-rings are in place on each module. Reattach the sleeves to the base and secure them with the screws removed earlier. Then, reassemble the colored lenses by twisting them clockwise until they lock into place.

  5. Test the Installation

    After completing the installation, turn on the power and test the MSLED-A to ensure it operates correctly. Verify that all lights function as intended.
