Model Number XXXXXXXXX

A Will-Burt Night Scan Chief Profiler Series light tower shall be provided.   The horizontal surface mounted tower shall be raised electrically and pneumatically.

Mounting provisions shall be provided with the assembly.   The installation of unit shall be as follows:
1.  Light tower installation location: 
2.  Floodlight and tower control location:

Design and Construction

The tower shall be a series of graduated extruded aluminum tubes that nest one inside another.  The tower shall have an extended height of approximately 10 ft. / 3.0 m above the mounting location and a stowed height of approximately 13.3125" / 33.9 cm above the mounting surface.  The tower shall be approximately 20.25” / 51.5 cm wide by 78.8125” / 200.9 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 136 lbs. / 61.7 kg.  The light tower shall not exceed 150 lbs. / 68 kg.

The tower tubular sections shall be constructed of high strength, heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum tubes and collars.  Each tube shall be protected by low friction synthetic collars for smooth operation and long life.  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.  

Nesting System

The tower shall have an “auto-stow” function.  A double click of the mast down button will stow, retract, and shut power off to the unit.   An integrated saddle assembly with synthetic, non-marring rests shall be provided for the tower and flood light assembly in the nested position.

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 the floodlight bank.   The floodlights shall be stacked to minimize area needed for installation.  The positioner shall also rotate the floodlight assembly from zero to 350 degrees.

Hand-held Wired Remote Control  

A safety yellow in color for high visibility, hand held remote control pendant, connected to a quick-disconnect, 25 ft. (7.62 meter) coiled cord shall be provided to control the tower.  All functions of the tower shall be accessible through this remote control including elevating with “auto-up” ability, lowering with “auto-stow” ability, rotation and tilting of the floodlight assembly and floodlight switching.  An auxiliary power button shall also be included.  An emergency stop button shall be integrated into the hand held control for added safety or shall be located on the junction box. Each button of the controller shall have a corresponding LED light that provides operational feedback.  An LED display that includes alphanumeric feedback shall be located in the center of the controller.  This display shall provide operational feedback and error codes if they occur.

Hand-held Wireless Remote Control 
 
A safety yellow in color for high visibility, wireless hand held remote control with a range of 100 feet (30.5 meters) and unique transmitting and receiving addresses to eliminate interference shall be provided to control the tower.  All functions of the tower shall be accessible through the wireless remote control including elevating with “auto-up” ability, lowering with “auto-stow” ability, rotation and tilting of the floodlight assembly and floodlight switching.  An auxiliary power button shall also be included.  Each button of the controller shall have a corresponding LED light that provides operational feedback.  An LED display that includes alphanumeric feedback shall be located in the center of the controller.  This display shall provide operational feedback and error codes if they occur.

Panel-mount Control

A panel mount controller for installation on the vehicle shall be provided to control the tower.  All functions of the tower shall be accessible through the panel mount controller including elevating with “auto-up” ability, lowering with “auto-stow” ability, rotation and tilting of the floodlight assembly and floodlight switching.  An auxiliary power button shall also be included.  Each button of the controller shall have a corresponding LED light that provides operational feedback.  An LED display that includes alphanumeric feedback shall be located in the center of the controller.  This display shall provide operational feedback and error codes if they occur.

Pneumatic Controls

The pneumatic controls to raise and lower the tower shall include an air regulator and solenoid valves.  Lights will be operational within approximately 12 seconds from elevation initiation.  The tower shall be able to be fully elevated in approximately 50 seconds.  In the event of malfunction of the elevating system while the tower is in operation or being deployed, a method of limiting the rate of descent shall be provided to prevent injury to personnel or damage to the equipment.
Two allen keys as well as directions are included under the cover to fold the mast into the saddle if manual stowage of mast is required.  
The air supply for pneumatic operation of the tower shall be from an integral compressor with air regulator.  

Electrical Installation

The wiring harness for the floodlights, accessories, and remote control positioner shall be internally routed through telescoping aluminum tubing with a highly flexible coil cord.  

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.   The electric power to the tower and light units shall automatically disconnect whenever the tower is in the nested position.   

The tower operation area shall be illuminated automatically by a look up light whenever the tower is in operation.  Any upward movement of the tower from the nested position shall energize a red warning light in the cab and a secondary light located at the tower control area.  In addition, the installer shall provide parking brake interlocks and other equipment as required by applicable NFPA standards. 

Floodlight System

Three (3) Whelen Pioneer Plus™ Model # PCP24 shall be provided. The 150 watt +24v DC Pioneer lighthead shall incorporate Super-LED® combination spot/flood light installed in a die-cast white powder coated aluminum housing. The PCP24 configuration shall consist of 30 white Super-LEDs for the spot light with an eight degree TIR reflector on the left side, 30 white Super-LEDs in the flood light with a clear optic collimator/metalized reflector assembly on the right side, and a clear non-optic polycarbonate lens.
