Stacklight / Light Tower Mounting Bases

Extension tubes and mounting bases
The E26 stacklight base may be mounted directly to the machine or control cabinet. For greater height, extension tubes and mounting bases are available. The mounting base is anodized alloy and threaded to 3/4” NPT for compatibility with standard pipe and conduit threads.

The extension tubes are also anodized alloy and threaded to 3/4” NPT. Extension tubes are available in four lengths from 3/4” to 30” and a right angle extension tube.

Each E26 stacklight requires a base. There are two kinds of bases: standard and flashing.

Flashing bases are most often used for non-PLC applications, as the PLC can provide many flashing options with minimal programming when a standard base is used. A standard base allows up to six modules, including an audible alarm module.

The flashing base will allow up to four flashing modules at 24 volts AC/DC and six modules at 120 volts AC/DC. Flashing bases can be wired for steady or flashing condition for each module. Only incandescent lamps may be used with flashing bases. LED modules will not work.

The bases flash at a rate of 60 times per minute. The E26 stacklight base includes a cap to top off the stack if you’re not using an audible alarm.

Stacklight Lamps and LEDS: Light and Xenon Strobe Modules

E26 light modules are offered in incandescent and cylindrical LED versions for 24 volt and 120 volt AC/DC. Xenon strobe modules are offered in 24 volt and 120 volt AC/DC. While incandescent modules are less expensive than LED modules, LED modules have an average operating life of 100,000 hours compared to 7,000 to 12,000 hours for incandescent modules. It is recommended that dry contact outputs be used to switch 120 VAC modules.

The Xenon module occupies two module spaces in the stack. One module houses the electronics and the other houses the lamp. Only the top module of the two flashes.

NOTE: LED modules have very low current draw and should not be used with triac output devices like PLC triac output modules.

Audible Alarms

Three different audible alarms are available for E26 stacklights in 24 V and 120 VAC/DC. One alarm per stacklight may be included in the assembly and is mounted atop the stacklight. No tools are required for attaching or wiring the alarm.

The alarm draws very little current and units used in 120 VAC applications should be switched with dry contact type output devices. Leakage from triac modules will activate the alarm in the “OFF” condition. Alarms are available in mono-tonal, bi-tonal, and intermittent tones. The sound levels can be adjusted from 64 to 90 dB. Typical current draw is 11 to 13 mA for 24 V and 120 V versions.
