Candela selection
slider switch. Depress
center and slide switch to
desired brightness level.
Break off pin and insert into
hole at the bottom of the
selector to lock candela
setting. Signal must be
removed from bracket and
pin pushed forward from
backside out of hole to
change candela.
The access holes are provided in the back of the terminal
block to allow the voltage to be measured directly without
removing the device. Typically this would be done at the
end of the line to confirm design criteria. Most measure-
ments will be taken using the S+ and S- locations although
access is provided to other locations. NOTE: Care should
be taken to not short the test probes.
Super Slide® Mounting Bracket
Allows the installer to pre-wire the system, test for system
supervision, remove the signal head until occupancy, switch
out signals without changing mounting brackets and has
locking edge connector for snap-in-place installation.
To remove bezel,
grip both sides of
bezel and pull in
a downward and
outward motion.
