2. SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The installation procedure requires that the mounting bracket be securely fastened in any convenient
location which would provide immediate access in the event of emergency situations.
Suitable length ΒΌ - 20 stainless screws should be used for mounting the bracket. Screw heads
should not protrude inside the bracket surface.
2.2 BATTERY INSTALLATION
The SM-2 is normally shipped from the factory without a battery. Follow disassembly instructions
in Section 3 of this Manual for battery installation. The SM-2 uses a standard 6 Volt lantern type
battery with screw terminals. A list of recommended batteries can be found on Page 1. Note
maximum allowable battery weight.
3.0 SECTION 3 - TESTING
3.1 OPERATION
The unit should be tested monthly. Remove the SM-2 from its bracket and invert it. The unit should
begin flashing immediately, at a rate of about one flash per second. Re-invert the unit after
ascertaining correct operation.
3.2 INSPECTION
Check the exterior of the unit for damage which might affect proper operation (damage to globe,
cracks in case, etc.) Check bracket security.
3.3 DISASSEMBLY
This will ordinarily be required only if testing shows that the light is malfunctioning, or if battery
replacement is required. Recommended interval for battery replacement is one year.
A. Hold the unit on a flat, firm surface, lens side up. Depress the top cap of the unit, by pushing
straight down on the top cap assembly, until the swivel locks may be turned outward, clear of the
cap.
B. Grip the light lens (using a clean cloth or gloves for a better grip on the smooth surface and to
avoid marring the lens surface) and pull upwards until the top cap is clear of the case.
C. Turn the unit on its side, open end slightly downwards, to allow the foam filler and battery to
slide out.
D. Disconnect the battery by unscrewing the terminals from the battery posts.
E. Replace the strobe module, if required, as follows:
1. Remove foam filler from strobe module, by sliding it off.
2. Slip foam spacer over new strobe module to seat in cap recess.
