Typically, the Flashhead is mounted to a bracket, which is then attached to the structure. Honeywell can supply brackets for most types of installations.
A detailed drawing for mounting the Flashhead is shown in Figure
2.3.2.1Setting the Flashhead Elevation
Flashheads must be mounted at the proper vertical angle to assure proper light output. Depending on the elevation of the light level, the Flashhead may need to be adjusted to reduce the amount of ground scatter. Please refer to the table below for proper elevation for the lights.
1.Slightly loosen the angle lock bolts, which are at the bottom of the mounting arms (see Figure
2.Adjust the Flashhead enclosure until the bubble indicator on top of the enclosure reads level.
3.Take note of the position of the bolt with respect to the
4.Adjust the Flashhead enclosure to aim the beam upward until the bolt head has shifted by the number of degrees indicated in the table below.
5.Securely tighten both angle lock bolts.
Light Unit Elevation Above the Horizontal
Height of Light Unit Above | Degrees of Elevation above |
Ground Level | Horizontal |
More than 500 feet | 0° |
401 feet to 500 feet | 1° |
301 feet to 400 feet | 2° |
Less than 300 feet | 3° |
2.3.3Ambient Light Sensor (Photocell)
The Ambient Light Sensor, when supplied with the system, shall be mounted upright, away from artificial light (e.g. floodlights), and in a location that will enable the sensor window to have an unobstructed view of the polar sky (pointed north in the northern hemisphere, not pointed toward the sun). The photocell housing wire entry is tapped to allow mounting to 1/2" threaded pipe. Conduit and related hardware will be supplied by the customer. A
