Design and Construction

The tower shall be constructed of an extruded aluminum tube.  The tower shall have an extended height of approximately 3.3 ft. / 1.0 m above the mounting location and a stowed height of approximately 10.375" / 26.4 cm above the mounting surface.  The tower shall be approximately 15.875” / 40.3 cm wide by 51.25” / 130.2 cm in length.  The tower shall be designed to sustain the intended top load with a 125 percent safety factor and shall exceed NFPA requirements of a minimum 50 mph (80 kph) wind when in a fully raised and unguyed position. The tower shall be of a compact design with a total weight of approximately 75 lbs. / 34 kg.  The light tower shall not exceed 100 lbs. / 46 kg.

The tower tubular section shall be constructed of high strength, heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum tube.  Bumpers shall be designed to reduce shock on extension and retraction.  All exterior surfaces shall be anodized for long life and fasteners shall be stainless steel for corrosion resistance.  

Floodlight Rotation and Tilt Operation

The tower shall be equipped with a Will Burt Model RCP (remote control positioner) to control the rotation and direction of the light. The remote control positioner unit shall be equipped with two (2) gear motors; one for rotation and one for tilting the floodlight bank.   

Hand-held Wired Remote Control  

A hand held remote control pendant, connected to a 20 ft. (6 meter) cord shall be provided to control the tower.  All functions of the tower shall be accessible through this remote control including elevating and lowering, rotation and tilting of the floodlight assembly and floodlight switching.  

Electrical Installation

The wiring harness for the floodlights, accessories, and remote control positioner shall be internally routed through the aluminum tubing.  

Installer supplied 12 or 24 volt electrical wiring shall be provided with electrical connections at the tower assembly in conjunction with appropriate electrical power for the floodlights.  The installer as required by manufacturer’s installation guidelines shall provide appropriate wiring from the circuit breaker panel for connection to the tower.

Each Pioneer flood light shall have 6,000 usable lumens for a total of 12,000 lumens.  The lens/reflector assembly shall utilize a liquid injected molded silicone gasket to be resistant to water, moisture, dust, and other environmental conditions. The hard coated lens shall provide extended life/luster protection against UV and chemical stresses. The PSL2 shall be vibration resistant. The Pioneer™ PC boards shall be conformal coated for additional protection. Two breathable membrane patches shall be installed to the bottom of the housing to maintain a consistent internal pressure. The PSL2 shall have extended LED operation with low current consumption and low operating temperature.  The fixture shall measure H=3.0”, W=12.5”, D=1.90”

Warranty

The tower assembly shall carry a two (2) year parts and labor warranty.   Exact provisions of such warranty shall be provided with the proposal and at time of delivery of product.

Labeling and NFPA Compliance
