FTS 370d/w/r INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
System Controller (SC) 370
The SC 370 is mounted away from radio frequency interference (RFI).
The SC 370 is mounted upright.
Lightning protection is grounded to the site grounding system.
2 AWG (min.) is used from the SC 370 grounding lug to the site lightning grounding system (tested for 1ohm or less).
The bend radius for all ground wires is greater than 8" (avoid bending ground wires if possible).
Important! It is recommended that all exposed ground connections are coated with a corrosion inhibitor (NO-OX or
equivalent).
There are no holes punched or drilled in the top or sides of the enclosure.
Airflow can properly circulate around the enclosure (allow 8” min. of unused space on both sides).
Room allowed for door access (multi-unit installations).
The input power (and frequency for AC systems) matches the voltage specified on the unit’s data label.
The SC 370 designated as System 1is connected to the top flashhead and programmed as AOL.
The flashhead cable is connected to TB2, and corresponds to the internal wiring diagram.
Electrical connections, and inside cabinet hardware mounts have been double-checked for tightness before powering up.
All wire connections are installed properly into the terminal blocks (TB1 and TB2).
ALL PCB connectors are securely plugged into the board (Phoenix Connectors).
All PCB connector wires are properly inserted and screws are tightened.
RS 485 Data cables are installed on PCB1 J4 and routed between System Controllers (multi-unit installations).
Fuse holders for fuses F1 & F2 are secured in the closed position.
The “Binding Procedure” has been performed on each SC 370 installed in the system.
(See Section 3 “Local Tower Config” for special instructions regarding the binding procedure.)
PCB1 Intensity select switch is in the “Auto” position on the System Controller (s).
Flashhead CABLE
Flashhead cable is NOT spliced except at the marker interface enclosure, if installed.
Flashhead individual conductor insulation has not been nicked.
A service loop for the flashhead cable is placed at the base of the tower near the System Controller (5 feet).
Service loop is attached to the H-Frame or Wall vertically.
The flashhead cable is properly secured to the tower so the insulation won’t become cut or damaged with wind and time.
Using the Flash Technology’s two supplied tapes and the 2-3-4 layer method, secure the cable to the tower (Not
exceeding 5’ in-between)
A service loop is placed just below the beacon.
Service loop is secured at (2) points to the tower structure using the 2-3-4 tape method.
The flashhead cable is not pulled tight against sharp edges.
1-3” of space should be between the cable and tower leg flanges or obstructions.
