Description
Edwards AdaptaLight Series 101XBRM Stackable Beacon
is a unique signaling appliance which can contain up to five
modules, stacked onto a single AdaptaLight Base Unit (as
illustrated above). The 101XBRM series can be combined
or stacked with any of the models shown in Table 2 only if
modules have same input voltage. The 101XBRM LED Se-
ries is supplied in steady-on mode but offers a field-selectable
65 fpm flash mode. Up to five modules can be used in any
position in the AdaptaLight Stackable Beacon.
The AdaptaLight base unit (101BS) contains a mini pulsating
horn rated 85 dB at 10 feet (3.05 m). This horn can operate
as a sixth independent signal or with any one of the stacked
modules shown in Table 2. The base unit has a screw-type
terminal strip for positive hard wiring. Each module in the
stack is electrically interconnected through solid copper
busses and mating contacts to withstand vibration. Each is
positively connected to the one below it by a solid through-
bolt for mechanical integrity.
AdaptaLight is UL and cUL listed for direct surface or pipe
mounting in non-hazardous dust and outdoor applications.
The AdaptaLight may be mounted vertically with lenses facing
up or with lenses facing down (on ceiling). The AdaptaLight
is not suitable for outdoor installations when mounted with
the lenses facing down. The AdaptaLight must never be
mounted horizontally. Assemble and install in accordance
with these instructions.
The AdaptaLight modules have double fresnel polycarbonate
lenses available in a variety of colors, each providing a 360°
non-shadowed light pattern.
