WATCHMAN Installation Instructions

Placement and Mounting (cont.)

NOTE

There are many methods of mounting the Watchman. The following instructions assume that the recommended

suspension hardware is being used. Instructions on the use of other suspension hardware and methods are outside

the scope of this manual.

Once the Watchman's placement has been determined:

1. Install eye bolts to the object(s) to which the Watchman will be suspended (joist, girder, etc).

2. Using ferrules and a ferrule crimper, secure suspension cables to the eye bolts [Figure 4].

3. Install (1) turnbuckle per suspension cable using ferrules and a ferrule crimper [Figure 5].

4. Attach suspension cables from the turnbuckles to the Watchman's eye bolts using ferrules and a ferrule crimper.

5. Using a level, check horizontal alignment of the Watchman. Adjust the height of the Watchman as needed using

the turnbuckles.

AC Power Connection

NOTE

AC power connection is applicable to AC-powered

models only. When connecting AC power, make

sure no batteries are installed.

1. Locate the AC power cord at the master side end cap

on the opposite end of the Watchman decal

[Figure 3].

2. Run the AC power cord up along the suspension

cable and swag it over to an adjacent wall. Make sure

there is sufficient cord slack to allow the Watchman to

move laterally in the case of a collision event

[Figure 6].

NOTE

The AC power cord is 50' in length.

3. Obtain the included AC power supply and screw

terminal connector. Locate the RED and BLACK

wires of the AC power cord. Using an appropriate

screwdriver, connect the RED wire to the (+) terminal,

and the BLACK wire the (–) terminal on the screw

terminal connector.

NOTE

The WHITE and GREEN wires bundled with the

AC power wires are used for dry contact output

(see next page). If you are not going to use the dry

contact output, ensure wires remain insulated.

4. Plug the power supply into a 120 VAC power outlet,

and to the screw terminal connector.

Swagging the AC power cord

allows the Watchman to move

freely back and forth without

excessive strain on the cord.
