120/240 VAC SCENE LIGHTING
LIGHT TOWER
One (1) Command Light, CL Series light tower(s) shall be provided and installed on the completed unit. A flashing
warning light shall be provided in cab, indicating when a light tower is not in nested position as required by NFPA
1901.
The Command Light shall be covered by a five (5) year limited warranty from defects in materials and
workmanship. An operation, maintenance, and parts manual shall be provided with the completed unit.
The light tower shall extend 130" above the mounting surface and shall extend to full upright position in less than
15 seconds. The overall size of nested light tower shall be approximately 40" wide x 73" long x 12" high and
weigh approximately 310 pounds.
Light Tower Construction and Design
The Command Light assembly shall be of aluminum construction, with stainless steel shafts and bronze bushings
for long life and low maintenance.
The electrically controlled unit shall not require usage of the vehicle's air supply for operation, thereby eliminating
the chance for air leaks in the vehicle braking system. Hydraulic or pneumatic type floodlights are not acceptable
alternatives to the specified all electric light tower.
Light Tower Electrical System
The light tower shall be a two-stage articulating device with a lighting bank on top of the second stage capable of
continuous 360 degree rotation. The light shall be elevated by electric linear actuators, one (1) actuator shall
elevate the light bank and one (1) actuator shall adjust the light bank angle from 0 to 110 degrees. Power for the
light bank shall be supplied through power collecting rings thus allowing continuous 360 degree rotation in either
direction.
The tower base shall have a light that illuminates the envelope of motion during any movement of the light tower
mast as required by NFPA 1901.
