1. INTRODUCTION
These beacon units have been designed for use in harsh environmental condi-
tions. The xenon beacon design incorporates a GRP body, polycarbonate lens
(both of which are UV stable) and stainless steel screws.
2. INSTALLATION
General
The beacon should be positioned using the two available fixing holes in the base.
MEDC recommend that M6 stainless steel nuts and bolts be used to fix the unit to
the mounting surface.
The beacon will operate in any attitude, from horizontal to vertical.
Cable Termination
CAUTION: Before removing the cover assembly, ensure that the power to the
unit is isolated.
Remove the lens assembly by unscrewing the 3 fixing screws and pulling the cover
gently away from the base.
A maximum of 3 x M20 cable entries are available via knockouts in the enclo-
sure. Ensure that the knockouts are fully de-burred before installing the cable
glands.
Cable termination should be in accordance with specifications applying to the
application. MEDC recommend that all cables and cores should be fully identi-
fied.
Ensure that only the correct industrial glands are used and that the assembly is
shrouded.
All cable glands should be of an equivalent NEMA/IP rating to that of the beacon.
In order to maintain the NEMA/IP rating of the beacon, the glands should be
sealed to the beacon using a sealing washer or sealing compound.
Replacing the cover is a reverse process of the above, but care should be taken to
ensure that the seal is securely located in its groove during re-assembly.
3. OPERATION
The beacon can be powered directly or initiated by a telephone line if requested
when ordered.
Dual flash operation can be selected by means of a jumper switch on the PCB. For
single flash operation connect pins of conn 1 ‘S’ with the jumper provided. For
dual flash operation connect pins conn 2 ‘D’ with the jumper provided.

4. MAINTENANCE
During the working life of the beacon, it should require little or no maintenance.
However, if abnormal or unusual environmental conditions occur due to plant
damage or accident etc., then visual inspection is recommended.
If a fault should occur, it is recommended that the unit be returned to MEDC for
repair. All parts are replaceable.
If you have acquired a significant quantity of units, it is recommended that spares
are also made available. Please discuss your requirements with the Technical
Sales Engineers at MEDC.
