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.
