The L-864 Flashing Red Beacon as shown in Figure 1, (hereafter referred to as the Beacon) operates from 120 / 240VAC 50/60 Hz. The beacon consists of 36 High Performance LEDs that provide the light output equivalent to an incandescent fixture while consuming a fraction of the electrical power. This manual provides guidance and recommendations for the installation and testing of the beacon assembly. Please read this document in its entirety before installing the Beacon. Figure 1 L-864 Flashing Red Beacon Assembly _____________________________________________________________________________ Dialight Corporation 1501 Route 34 South Farmingdale NJ 07727 Tel: 732.919.3119 Fax: 732.751.5778 Web: www.dialight.com 3 of 13 Document No. 9100-127-1438-99 Rev A March 31, 2011 _____________________________________________________________________ Section 2: Wiring and Mounting Warning: Remove power from all wiring and circuitry before installing or working on the Beacon. To avoid explosion: • Make sure the supply voltage is the same as the rated luminaire voltage. • Do not install where the marked operating temperatures exceed the ignition temperature of the hazardous atmosphere. • Do not operate in ambient temperatures above those indicated on the luminaire nameplate. • Keep lens tightly closed when in operation. Wiring the Beacon The Beacon only requires a connection to 120 / 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power. The ground wire must be connected for proper operation and protection of the Beacon. Mounting the Beacon Dialight recommends the installation of one or more lightning rods near the installed Beacon. The lightning rods should extend a minimum of three feet above the height of the Beacon. The Beacon is mounted to the tower pedestal utilizing customer supplied ½” hardware. Six mounting holes are provided on the Beacon base (Figure 2). These mounting holes will align with most tower pedestals. The Beacon must be installed level according to the bulls-eye level inside the light engine to maintain light output in accordance with FAA requirements. _____________________________________________________________________________ Dialight Corporation 1501 Route 34 South Farmingdale NJ 07727 Tel: 732.919.3119 Fax: 732.751.5778 Web: www.dialight.com 4 of 13 Document No. 9100-127-1438-99 Rev A March 31, 2011 _____________________________________________________________________ Figure 2 Base - Bottom View _____________________________________________________________________________ Dialight Corporation 1501 Route 34 South Farmingdale NJ 07727 Tel: 732.919.3119 Fax: 732.751.5778 Web: www.dialight.com 5 of 13 Document No. 9100-127-1438-99 Rev A March 31, 2011 _____________________________________________________________________ Section 3: Operation and Test Prior to installation, it is recommended that the unit be tested to ensure no damage was incurred during shipping. This is accomplished by applying power to the beacon. Visual verification of the functioning of the Beacon will indicate proper performance. Upon completion of this test, the installation may proceed. Section 4: Beacon Theory of Operation 4.0 System Overview The block diagram in Figure 4 shows the major components of a typical Beacon installation. The parts of the system are the LED Beacon and Controller. The LED Beacon is made up of one LED module, which lights when current passes through it. The LED Beacon contains its own internal power supply. The Beacon is designed for use with an external controller. This external controller provides the properly timed flashing signal, fault monitoring and alarm interfaces. External Controller Power Supply LED Module Beacon Assembly Figure 3 - System Block Diagram _____________________________________________________________________________ Dialight Corporation 1501 Route 34 South Farmingdale NJ 07727 Tel: 732.919.3119 Fax: 732.751.5778 Web: www.dialight.com 6 of 13 Document No. 9100-127-1438-99 Rev A March 31, 2011 _____________________________________________________________________ 4.1 Lightning Protection The Beacon incorporates protection against voltage surges (as induced by nearby lightning strikes for example) by means of an MOV (metal oxide varistor) and Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) arrangement. Section 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting No regularly scheduled maintenance is required for the Beacon. General cleaning of the Dome Assembly should be done using soapy water. No other cleaning solutions are recommended. Abrasive compounds will scratch the Dome Assembly. Table 1 Lists possible faults and repair procedures for the L-864 Red Beacon Table 1 Troubleshooting Symptom Beacon does not light Possible Cause No AC power Corrective Action Verify proper AC levels from power source thru supply lines. LED Failure Replace LED Module Power supply Failure Replace power supply Beacon does not flash Refer to controller documentation supplied by the manufacturer. Repair and Replacement Refer to Table 1 for troubleshooting procedures. _____________________________________________________________________________ Dialight Corporation 1501 Route 34 South Farmingdale NJ 07727 Tel: 732.919.3119 Fax: 732.751.5778 Web: www.dialight.com 7 of 13 Document No. 9100-127-1438-99 Rev A March 31, 2011 _____________________________________________________________________ Beacon Dome D464-2005 Beacon Light Engine D464-1011 O-Ring Gasket D464-8002 (Under Dome Edge) Latch Gen IV Power Supply D464-9000 (Not pictured – inside base) Figure 4 Beacon – External View Recommended spare parts, User replaceable parts Description Beacon Light Engine Beacon Dome O-Ring Gasket Gen IV Power Supply (Inside Base) Dialight Part Number D464-1011 D464-2005 D464-8002 D464-9000 _____________________________________________________________________________ Dialight Corporation 1501 Route 34 South Farmingdale NJ 07727 Tel: 732.919.3119 Fax: 732.751.5778 Web: www.dialight.com 8 of 13 Document No. 9100-127-1438-99 Rev A March 31, 2011 _____________________________________________________________________ The only parts that are serviceable on the Beacon are the Light Engine and Power Supply. Replacement procedure for the Light Engine Step 1 WARNING: Power to the Beacon must be removed prior to servicing. Step 2 Unclamp the two latches holding the light engine down. Step 3 Rotate the light engine back to its open position. Step 4 Carefully pull the inline connector between the LED module and power supply apart, and than unscrew the grounding strap from the light engine to separate the two assemblies. Be careful not to lose the screw for the ground strap.

The key should line up with the keyway on the hinge and allow for the light engine to be pulled off of its pins. Figure 6 – Light Engine Install/Removal (Dome and cantilever not shown for clarity) Step 6 Slide the new light engine onto the pins to line it up. Rotate it to approximately 10 degrees from closed to again line up the keyway. Push the light engine past the key until it clears and than rotate it back to the open position. Step 7 Reconnect the inline connector between the light engine and power supply, followed by the grounding strap. Step 8 Rotate the light engine down to the closed position and secure the two latches to complete installation. Apply power to ensure the beacon lights up correctly. _____________________________________________________________________________ Dialight Corporation 1501 Route 34 South Farmingdale NJ 07727 Tel: 732.919.3119 Fax: 732.751.5778 Web: www.dialight.com 10 of 13 Document No. 9100-127-1438-99 Rev A March 31, 2011 _____________________________________________________________________ Section 6: Specifications Power Supply Specifications (D464-9000) Input Voltage Range Nominal Input Power Power Factor ATHD 120-240VAC at 50/60Hz 20W >0.9 <20% Beacon Specifications Light Color Weight Height Width Bolt Hold down Pattern Red 20 Pounds 8.4 Inches 15.0 Inches Standard Pattern provided (See Fig. 2) Section 7: Regulatory Compliance and Certifications 7.1 ETL Certified to: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): AC No. (150/534543E).
