• Never use the Command Light TFB-HM3 as a lifting device or mobile arm. • Do not use a Command Light TFB-HM3 that has been damaged or is not fully functional, including non-working indicator lamps. • Never hold any part of the Command Light TFB-HM3 with a hand or foot while it is in motion.
“on” position to actuate the stages. The TFB-HM3 has an override system that precludes rotation of the flow board until the lower stage has elevated substantially enough from the nested position. When the lower stage is below this safety limit, the following conditions exist: •...
USER GUIDE Installation The TFB-HM3 must be installed by a designated installation facility or by an EVT certified Level FA4 Technician. All safety precautions must be thoroughly understood before installation. Please consult the factory for additional installation information assistance. Improper installation can cause overheating of electrical power wires that could catch fire and void the warranty.
When routing the connecting electrical wires take care to avoid sharp bends, hot components or other hazards to the wire. The TFB-HM3 is not designed to be operated in a raised position while the vehicle is in motion. The TFB-HM3 includes warning circuit wiring to enable a warning device.
Fasten the tower using the provided hardware. To assure a weather-tight installation apply a thin bead of silicone based gasket sealer to the base of the spacer and underside of bolt head. Remove any lifting straps and devices from the TFB-HM3. Locate and drill the wire feed holes.
Run the control wire from the control box holster to the TFB-HM3. Run the power wire from the breaker box or generator to the TFB-HM3. A 30 Amp breaker is recommended on a TFB-HM3. Make the control cable connections in the TFB-HM3 relay box by matching each control wire to its same color on the connector block of the TFB-HM3 relay box.
Power Failure The TFB-HM3 can be retracted manually if power to the unit is lost. If power loss is temporary, reestablishing power may be easier than manually retracting the tower.
Override Circuit The TFB-HM3 has an override circuit to allow the user to lower the tower no matter what state the sensors or rotation actuator are in. This is a failsafe for if a sensor fails in the field and the tower still has power.
30 amps Current Draw / Power Requirements: Fixture Average 12 VDC/38 amps TFB-HM3 Lift and rotation actuators will cause higher current draw during use. Motor Duty Cycle: (All motors thermally protected, specifications are to thermal relay trip): Lower stage 1:3 (90 seconds maximum per 5 minutes)
