Description
These instructions are for a continuous Light Trap installed in a dedicated
wall in a poultry confinement building. These instructions cover mounting
the Light Trap to either a steel framed wall or to a wooden framed wall.
Refer to Figure 1. There are two types of Light Traps: Blackout and
Brownout.
The Blackout and Brownout Light Traps come in two models:
C(Continuous) and CS(Continuous Slanted). These are illustrated in the
next section. The Continuous mounts flush to a wall. The Continuous
Slanted mounts to a wall with a slanted kneewall. The only difference in
these models is the bottom bracket of the Continuous Slanted. The
bottom bracket is adjustable in order to fit a slanted kneewall. See the
next section for the Framing Dimensions for the Light Trap models.
