Installation Instructions for AdaptaBeacon®
Catalog No.WBR Wall
Mount Bracket and Catalog No. CBR Corner Mount Bracket
Description
The Edwards Wall Bracket and Corner Bracket are designed for
use with EdwardsAdaptaBeacon visual signals having a base suit-
able for 1/2" (13 mm) or 3/4" (19 mm) conduit mounting.
The CBR Corner Mount Bracket may be used only with surface
installed conduit/wiring (see Figure 1). The WBR Wall Mount
Bracket may be used with surface installed conduit/wiring (see
Figure 2) or with concealed conduit/wiring (see Figure 3).
Installation
The brackets must be installed in acordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC), Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), local
code, and the local authority having jurisdiction, and using ap-
proved connection means.
Corner Mount (Figure 1)
1. Use the corner section of the bracket as a template to mark the
positions of the four mounting screws on the mounting surface.
2. Drill the four mounting holes at the positions described in 1
(above). Drill size should be determined by the size of the
mounting anchors and mounting screws (not supplied)
selected.
3. Remove the 1/2" (13 mm) knockout from the bottom of the
bracket. For indoor applications, install a 1/2" (13 mm) set
screw connector and locknut as shown in DetailA. For outdoor
applications, use appropriate conduit hardware. A pull box
may be used to simplify installation.
4. Referring to instructions supplied with the AdaptaBeacon,
assemble bracket and secure AdaptaBeacon, routing field
ground and power wiring and making ground and power
wiring connections appropriately.
The external threaded nipple protruding from the bracket arm
is for securing the AdaptaBeacon. A ground terminal is
provided for securing ground to the bracket in back of the
bracket arm. Two 1/4-20 x 1 1/4" (32 mm) screws are provided
to mount bracket arm to the corner section.
NOTE: If the Edwards AdaptaBeacon includes a 3/4" (19 mm)
NPT conduit entrance, assemble the 3/4" - 1/2" (19 - 13
mm) reducing bushing to the external threaded nipple
protruding from the bracket.
WARNING
Do not make power connections within the bracket.
5. Turn on the power to verify that the signal operates properly.

A pull box may be used to simplify installation.
WARNING
Do not make power connections within the bracket.
4. Referring to instructions supplied with the AdaptaBeacon,

for securing ground to the bracket in back of the bracket arm.
Two 1/4-20 x 1 1/4" (32 mm) screws are provided to mount
bracket arm to the backplate.
NOTE: If the Edwards AdaptaBeacon includes a 3/4" (19mm)
NPT conduit entrance, assemble the 3/4" - 1/2" (19-13
mm) reducing bushing to the external threaded nipple
protruding from the bracket arm.
5. Turn on the power to verify that the signal operates properly.
Wall Mount - Concealed Conduit/Wiring (Figure 3)
1. Mount the backplate to the installed standard 4" (102 mm)
square or 4" (102 mm) octagonal electrical outlet box with
oval head screws.
2. Mount the bracket to the backplate with the two 1/4-20 x 1 1/
4" (32 mm) screws provided.
3. Referring to instructions supplied with the AdaptaBeacon,
