SG-60 High Intensity Strobe System 2-7 Manual EPM-00000019 Rev A
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, Page 2-10.
2.3.2.1 Setting 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 2-3, Page 2-10). The bolt heads and nuts fit 7/16" wrenches or
nut drivers (tightening will require a pair of tools).
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 silk-screened markings
on the angle indicator. This position is the zero degree position. The markings
are screened at intervals of one degree.
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.

2.3.3 Ambient 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 21-foot 3-conductor cable is attached to the photocell
for remote installation.
