WIRING & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Lights:
The lighting functionality is pre-programmed with optional presets.
The top strobe lights (brick lights) are on all the time but strobe when activated. The rate is adjustable on the circuit board.
The vertical lighting (light strips) is off until the photocell senses dusk/dark and activates white ambient light. Photocell sensitivity and intensity is adjustable on the circuit board.
The vertical lighting also strobes red and blue (alternatively red and yellow) in unison with the brick lights when activated. Duration is adjustable (1 to 20 minutes) on the circuit board.
If a different functionality is required we can custom program the controller with extra lead time and an additional cost.
Wiring:
The wiring into the tower should be performed by someone local that knows the codes. Running conduit into the bottom of the tower and terminating with an outdoor receptacle box is probably the most straightforward. (And a CAT6 for the intercom, check out 2N’s requirements.) The lighting system is 48 VDC which is POE or powered by a 150 W 120 VAC power supply (included) with a 3-prong plug that can be clipped off and hard wired.
The tower draws approximately 50 W and the smaller wall station draws approximately 25 W.
The 2N unit can be powered by the same 120 power receptacle or POE (check with 2N.) The lighting trigger is a two wire lead that connects to the normally open relay on the intercom (see 2N’s schematic.)
Concrete & Anchors:
The concrete should be designed by someone local that can ensure it follows code, but we recommend 32” deep and 32” diameter minimum. The small concrete anchor (Fast Foundation, pn 66TOW-EMER-02-304) is placed and leveled in wet concrete (along with conduit, etc.) Allow a few days to cure, then the tower can be placed.
The large ground anchor (Fast Foundation, pn 66TOW-EMER-01-304) is placed and leveled in an open hole (36″ deep and 36″ diameter) with packed ground and/or gravel (along with conduit, etc.) Backfill the hole with packed dirt/gravel fill. The tower can be placed immediately.
There is a generous hole in the bottom of the tower for conduits and such.
