TECHNICAL Practice Practice TELECOM SOLUTIONS FOR THE SL-2 LED Strobe/Beacon Visual Indicator 2 1 S T C E N T U RY April 2, 2012 LED Strobe and/or Beacon Visual Indicator with Programmable Brightness and Flash Patterns The SL-2 is a 360° LED Strobe and/or Beacon visual indicator. LED’s not only are more efficient and last longer than standard flash tubes but are also immune to shock and vibration. The LED’s are internally positioned to allow a 360° viewing angle when the unit is mounted vertically and a 120° viewing angle when side mounted. The SL-2 can be user programmed to output 4 different flash patterns: Single Flash, Double Flash, Quad Flash or Flicker Flash. The unit can also be programmed as a continuous-On Beacon only, Strobe only or Beacon/Strobe allowing a lower intensity beacon to remain on and a high intensity strobe to be activated by a contact closure. 6 different brightness levels are also programmable for the Beacon and the Strobe. All programming is stored in non-volatile memory so you won’t lose the programming when the unit is powered down, allowing you to program units prior to installation. The SL-2 is designed for indoor applications and comes standard with a Blue shatter resistant polycarbonate lens. Optional Red, Amber and Clear lenses are sold separately (go to www.vikingelectronics.com and click on spare parts). Unit surface mounts to wall, post, panel, 4” electrical box or wet location electrical box round lamp holder cover.

Installation A. Mounting the SL-2 (Drill Template shown at actual size.) B. Wiring the SL-2 Strobe Only Red Green Black Beacon Only Red + 12VDC Green * Black - GND In programming, select programming feature 2 (strobe only). When the switch/contact is activated, the strobe will flash for the duration of the contact closure. * Note: Switch / dry contact closure with a minimum contact rating of 25mA @ 15VDC. Beacon / Strobe Red + 12VDC or Green * Black - GND In programming, select programming feature 3 (beacon only). With the green wire connected to the red wire, when power is applied the steadyon beacon will turn on. An optional low current switch or contact can be used between the green and red wire to turn the beacon on or off. + 12VDC * - GND In programming, select programming feature 1 (beacon/strobe, factory default). When power is applied the lower intensity steady-on beacon will light. When the switch/contact is activated, the beacon will turn off and the strobe will flash for the duration of the contact closure. Programming The SL-2 can be user programmed as a Beacon only, Strobe only or Beacon/Strobe. The brightness setting can be programmed separately for the Strobe or Beacon and one of 4 different Flash Patterns can be programmed for the Strobe (See Strobe Flash Patterns, section D). A. Accessing the Programming Mode (Optional, the SL-2 is factory programmed to the Beacon/Strobe Mode and brightest Beacon/Strobe settings). Step 1. Apply 10-15 VDC power to the Red (+) and Black (-) wires. Touch and hold the Green (Control) wire to the Black (-) wire for 3 seconds. The strobe should flash twice. You are now in Programming mode. Note: Once in the programming mode, if a programming command Step 2. has not been entered for 20 seconds the strobe will flash 3 times indicating the unit has exited programming and returned to the Run Mode. B. Programming Desired Features (after accessing Programming Mode above) Select the Feature: Momentarily touch the Green (Control) wire to the Black (-) wire 1 to 10 times to select which feature to program (see Programming Features List, section C). The strobe should momentarily flash each time the Green (Control) wire has touched the Black (-) wire. Features 1-3 & 6-10: After selecting Programming Features 1-3 or 6-10, wait 3 seconds and the strobe should flash 2 times indicating that feature has been programmed. You can now exit programming or move on to programming the Beacon or Strobe brightness settings. Setting Strobe Brightness (factory set to 6/Brightest): After selecting Programming Feature 4 (Strobe Brightness), wait 3 seconds and the strobe should begin flashing in the preprogrammed flash pattern. Touch and hold the Green (Control) wire to the Black (-) wire. The SL-2 will begin flashing the strobe cycling through 6 different brightness settings from lowest to highest. When the SL-2 flashes at the desired brightness level immediately remove the Green wire from the Black. The SL-2 should flash twice indicating the selected brightness level has been set. Setting Beacon Brightness (Factory set to 6/Brightest): After selecting Programming Feature 5 (Beacon Brightness), wait 3 seconds and the beacon will light at its preprogrammed beacon brightness setting. Touch and hold the Green (Control) wire to the Black (-) wire. The SL-2 will begin stepping through 6 different beacon brightness settings from lowest to highest. When the SL-2 lights at the desired beacon brightness level immediately remove the Green wire from the Black. The SL-2 should flash twice indicating the selected brightness level has been set. Exiting Programming: To exit programming simply wait 20 seconds from the last programming command and the unit will flash 3 times. This indicates the SL-2 has exited the programming mode and is now in the Run mode. Note: To eliminate waiting 20 seconds, you can also exit programming after the last programming command by touching and holding the Green (Control) wire to the Black (-) for 3 seconds. The strobe will flash 3 times indicating the unit has exited the programming mode and is now in the Run mode. C.
