MOUNTING THE UNIT:
The RB6 Series uses a base that may be mounted one of two ways. It is designed to be mounted in a normal dome-up
position. If mounted in an inverted position, seal the wire exit hole and any mounting holes with silicone seal.
1” N.P.T. PIPE MOUNT:
1. Feed the beacon wires through the pipe.
2. Extend the RED beacon wire to +12VDC and fuse at 5 amps (see warning). Extend the BLACK beacon wire to
chassis ground (-). This unit is polarity sensitive!
3. Screw the strobe beacon onto the pipe, being careful not to pinch or strain the wires. Hand tighten the unit onto
pipe.
PERMANENT SURFACE MOUNT:
Note: It will be necessary to remove the dome in order to use this mounting style.
1. Remove the clamp ring securing the dome to the base and remove the dome.
2. Locate the 3 mounting hole indentations on the inside bottom of the base. Drill openings at these locations sized
to accomodate the sheet metal mounting screws (customer supplied). Deburr these openings and remove any
shavings.
3. Using the base as a template, mark the location of the three mounting holes and wire access hole onto the
mounting surface.
4. Using an appropriately sized drill bit (based on the mounting hardware used and the thickness of the mounting
surface), drill the three mounting holes marked in step 3. The wire access hole should be drilled using a 1/4” drill
bit. Deburr all holes and install a rubber grommet (customer supplied) to protect the wires.
5. Feed the wires through the wire access hole in the mounting gasket, and the mounting surface.
6. Align the mounting holes in the base, gasket, and mounting surface. Fasten with the three sheet metal screws.
7. Extend the RED beacon wire to +12VDC and fuse at 5 amps (see warning). Extend the BLACK beacon wire to
chassis ground (-). This unit is polarity sensitive!
8. A magnet mount or mirror mount kit is available for purchase separately (see parts list).
