Wiring the Beacon
REVERSE POLARITY/MISWIRING: To avoid damage to the light,
ensure that the input voltage is the same as the voltage rating of
the light. Ensure that correct polarity is observed. Also ensure
that the unit is properly fused with a 1.0-amp fuse.

To wire the beacon:
1. Determine the required length of wires needed. The beacon
is supplied with 12-inch pre-terminated wires, which may be
butt spliced to longer wires if needed. There are also two
loose terminals supplied, which may be crimped to installer-
supplied wires of longer length. For lengths up to 15 feet (5
m), use minimum 18 AWG (1 mm
feet, use minimum 16 AWG (1.5 mm
2. If using installer-supplied wire for the entire length,
terminate the wires with the supplied metal terminals.
3. Assemble either the supplied 12-inch wires or the installer-
supplied wires into the connector shell. Refer to Figure 3.
Insert the red wire into the location on the connector shell
marked with a "1." The terminal will click into place. Repeat
for the black wire into the location marked "2."
