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 while performing procedures
in this manual.
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
identication 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 xture,
or its components.
Install approved rubber or plastic grommets or bushings where wires or cable
will 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 inch clearance between wall insulation
and the light housing.
