I. Introduction

see the ETP-MT or ETP-MT/R Anchor Bolt Installation Instructions, or ETP-PDMK instructions for Parking Deck
Mounting Kits.
II. Contents
Before beginning installation, make sure you have all the included components. Each TOWER PARTS kit
includes:
QTY Part Number Description
8 42839 3/4"-10 Hex Nut
8 42840 3/4" Washer
3 42841 10-24 x 3/4" pan head tamperproof screw
2 42843 6-32 hex nut
1 67478 Polycarbonate light cover
1 68590 LED light board (12-24V AC/DC - 120VAC)
1 ETP-EL-L or ETP-EL12/24 Long Cord 120VAC Strobe Light or 12/24V AC/DC Strobe Light
III. Installation
1. After removing from its shipping carton, install the blue light/strobe assembly on top of the tower,
feeding the power cord and control wires through the top of the tower. If installing an ETP-MT/R, you
will need to remove the cap at the top of the tower first. Fasten the blue light/strobe to the tower with
three (3) 10-24 pan head tamperproof screws. Replace the cap at the top, if used.
NOTE: It is not necessary to connect power lines at this point.
2. A polycarbonate light cover protects the LED light assembly from the inside. Peel the protective
paper off the light cover and fit it onto the studs inside the tower. Slide the LED board over the studs
with the LEDs facing down. The built-in spacers will keep the LEDs from resting on the acrylic
window. Tighten down using the enclosed nuts. Be careful not to over tighten to avoid cracking the
circuit board.
3. Install one 3/4” nut and one washer on each anchor bolt 2.5-3.5” above grade to top of washer. This
will allow for a 1/2" air gap between the foundation and the tower, which will allow airflow and prevent
moisture problems. Verify that the nuts are level (0° pitch).
NOTE: To insure proper grounding of all electrical components, the tower mount should be effectively
earth grounded from the grounding stud (located in the electrical box across from the lower access
panel) with 6 AWG or better insulated, stranded copper wire to the metallic power service raceway
(conduit) or an 8' or longer corrosion-resistant ground spike.
After removing the cover plate from the tower’s rear access opening, install the tower onto the bolts
with the Emergency Phone opening oriented in the desired direction. Install second set of nuts and
washers. Tighten the upper nuts; the bottom set is only for leveling.
