Installation Tips and requirements:
For the Mains cable, it is recommended that the electrician or installer calculate the wire
requirements based on the amount of Flash heads being installed. It is recommended
that no install utilizes less than 16AWG wire with at least a 90ºC temperature rating. See
electrical parameters.
For RS485 cabling; 3 cores of 18AWG, drain wire plus a shield and braid for adequate
grounding and signals are required. RS485 is only required for E1+1 and larger
structures where multiple Strobes are required.
Cable between the Flash head and the controller must be a minimum of 14AWG and 4
conductors with foil and braid. Maximum distance between the controller and the Flash
head is 630feet.
NOTE: Failure to do any of the above could void all factory warranties. If in doubt please
contact your sales agent or representative.
During installing on the tower proper grounding techniques should be utilized.
The system has built in Lightning and RF immunity at each section, but for it to be
effective proper ground connection techniques must be used. For more details or
contact your local sales rep.

Installing the RS485 to additional power supplies
NOTE: For an E1 system there is no externally connected RS485.
NOTE: For structures lager than the above additional external communications need to
be added between the RS485 surge board and the translator boards in each of the
additional power supplies.
NOTE: For systems larger than E2 daisy chaining between the translator boards is
required.
NOTE: Translator boards are located in power supply enclosures NOTE:
The controller translator board is to be set to zero.
