Installation Instructions for 125 Class Beacons,
STROBE Models
Description
Edwards 125 Class Strobes are UL and cUL listed signaling
appliances rated for NEMA 4X applications. There are two
versions of strobes available: Normal Light Output and High
Light Output. Both types can be either surface or conduit
mounted. A protective wire guard, Cat. No. 125GRD, is also
available.

Installation
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, ensure that
power is turned off before installing the
Conduit Mounting (Figure 1)
1. Thread the 12" (45.7 cm) signal wire leads through 1/2"
(13mm) conduit into an approved conduit outlet box.
2. Thread the conduit onto the base of the signal.
3. Using wire nuts (not supplied), connect the signal's wire
leads as shown in Figure 1. Polarity must be observed
for DC models. For AC models, polarity is not important.

Installershouldevaluate.
1. Place the mounting gasket (supplied) over the hole in
the panel and route the signal wires through the gasket
and the hole in the panel.
2. Insert the base through the hole in the panel and screw
the locking nut (supplied), with the raised locking edge
facing the mounting surface, onto the base to secure the
beacon.
3. Using wire nuts (not supplied), connect the signal's wire
leads as shown in Figure 2. Polarity must be observed.
Maintenance
WARNINGS
To prevent electrical shock, ensure
power is turned off before installation or
maintenance.
To avoid risk of injury, install lens before
energizing.
Cleaning
To maintain optimum light visibility, the exterior lens surfaces
should be periodically cleaned with a soft clean cloth us-
ing water and a mild detergent. Disconnect power before
cleaning.
Strobe Tube Replacement
1. Conduit Mounted Modules: Disconnect wiring and, if
necessary, unscrew base from conduit (Figure 1).
Panel Mounted Modules: Disconnect wiring and
remove locking nut that secures the base to the panel
(Figure 2).
2. Remove screws that secure the lens to the base from
bottom of base and remove lens.
CAUTION: Do not touch strobe tube while hot.
