TL70 Modular Tower Light

Instruction Manual
Banner's TL70 Tower Light is a 70 mm, modular LED indicator with extremely bright and uniform
light. The modularity gives the user flexibility to customize tower lights as needed and change
positions in the field. The TL70 is also available preassembled for easy installation.
• Light segments have user-selectable solid ON or flashing
• Up to six colors, or five colors plus audible, in one device
• Rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV-stabilized material
• Bright, uniform indicator segments appear gray when off to eliminate false indication
from ambient light
• Several connection options to choose from including M12/Euro-style quick disconnect,
cabled, and terminal-wired
