SAFETY SUMMARY
FRC lighting products are engineered and manufactured with safety in mind. It is critical that FRC scene lights are installed,
maintained, and operated correctly. Read and understand all instructions before installing, performing maintenance, or operating.
All components, equipment, and installation procedures shall conform to NFPA 1901,
Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus
and
NFPA 70
National Electrical Code
.
The following safety precautions shall be observed.
General Safety Precautions
Ensure power is off prior to connecting or disconnecting wires and plugs or performing maintenance.
Scene lighting lampheads are designed for outdoor use and will be extremely hot when operating. Do not use in areas of limited
ventilation.
Installation Safety Precautions
Ensure power is off prior to connecting wires or cable to the power source.
Connect only to the type of power source as indicated on the lamphead identification label.
Ensure an appropriate sized circuit protection device is installed (circuit breaker or fuse).
Use a minimum of 16 AWG wire to connect AC lights and 12 AWG to connect DC lights.
FRC lights are intended for mounting to a noncombustible surface only. Do not install insulation within 76 mm (3 in) of any
part of the light, lighting fixture, or its components.
Install approved rubber or plastic grommets or bushings where wires or cables pass through a surface.
Ensure all wire connectors or terminals provide a positive mechanical and electrical connection.
Electrical connections not enclosed in a box must be covered with an insulation equivalent to that on the conductors.
Lampheads will be extremely hot when operating, do not mount such that personnel or equipment could inadvertently come in
contact with the lamphead.
Recessed lights require a minimum of 3 inches clearance between wall insulation and the light housing.
Operation Safety Precautions
Operate portable lighting products only from the power source indicated on the identification label.
During operation use the handle to move the light, the housing will be extremely hot.
Ensure that all lighting components are clear of obstructions when raising telescopic poles.
Ensure that telescopic poles are lowered and stowed before moving the vehicle.
Maintenance Safety Precautions
Ensure power is off prior to removing the front glass or opening covers.
Do not operate the light with the front glass removed or cover opened.
Ensure replacement bulbs have the same voltage and wattage rating.
When handling a new quartz halogen, HIR, or HID bulb avoid touching it except on the flat seal at either end.
Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the reflector clean if necessary, do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
