Installation: Permanent Mount
1. Using the base gasket as a template, mark the 2
mounting holes and the center wire access hole onto the
mounting surface (Fig. 3).
2. First drill holes for the two 10 X 5/8” pan head sheet
metal screws (supplied in parts bag). IMPORTANT: Be
very careful not to drill the holes too large.
3. Next drill the wire access hole with a 1/2” drill. NOTE:
You should also install a rubber grommet in the wire
access hole to protect the wires.
4. Place base gasket on mounting surface aligned with the
holes in the mounting surface. After connecting the
strobe beacon to the power cable, feed the wires through
the wire access hole. Place strobe beacon into proper
position, align the 2 holes in the aluminum base with the
2 mounting holes in the base gasket and mounting
surface. Use the 2 enclosed sheet metal screws to
attach the strobe light beacon securely to the mounting
surface.
Installation: Pipe Mount
1. Feed power cable through the 1 inch pipe. Connect the
cable to the wires of the 1200D Series strobe beacon.
2. Screw the strobe beacon into the threads on the 1 inch
pipe, taking precaution not to damage the connected wires.
Installation: Spade Bolt Mount
This mounting of the 1200D Series strobe beacon is a tamper
proof way to secure the unit to the mounting surface. If you
want this feature, you must have the “Spade Bolt Mount” model.
This model will have the bolts already installed into the
aluminum base. The mounting screws are hidden inside the
base, and are not accessible unless the strobe beacon is
disassembled.
1. Using the base gasket as a template, mark the 3 mounting
holes and the center wire access hole onto the mounting
surface. IMPORTANT: You must have access to the other
side of the mounting area to attach the nuts to the
mounting bolts.
2. Drill the three holes for the mounting bolts.
3. Next drill the wire access hole with a 1/2” drill. Install a
rubber grommet in the wire access hole to protect the
wires.
4. Put your gasket in place on the mounting surface, run the
wires through the mounting hole and connect the beacon
to your power source.
5. Now take your beacon and slip the 3 bolt ends (coming
from the aluminum base) into the 3 mounting holes.
6. Attach and tighten the 3 nuts (Fig. 4) and your beacon is
ready.
