LT-12 SERIES LIGHT TOWER — GENERAL INFORMATION
The Stow LT-12 Series Light Tower is a dedicated general
purpose floodlight tower intended for emergency and remote
lighting conditions.
The light tower can be raised vertically in excess of 31.5 feet
(9.6 meters) by means of a manual winch. The tower tensioning
system is designed to provide the necessary tension to safely
control the pivot of the tower. Outriggers and rear support stand
must be deployed prior to raising the mast.
The lighting system of Stow's LT-12 Series Light Tower is
comprised of 4 "Metal Halide" 1000 watt lamps. Each lamp has
an output of 110,000 lumens yielding a total of 440,000 lumens
for all four floodlights. Typical lighting coverage is between 5 to 7
acres.
Each floodlight requires a ballast for starting. Located on the
control panel of the generator is a weather resistant ballast box
that the contains the ballast for each floodlight. The control panel
contains four ON/OFF circuit breakers for each floodlight.
For ease of service or transport, each floodlight is equipped
with a quick-disconnect connector that allows the lamp fixture to
be removed quickly. This feature is extremely useful during
transport of the light tower over rough terrain. It is always best to
remove the floodlights and pack them safely so they will not get
damaged.
As an added feature, the LT-12 is available with two auxiliary
output receptacles. The upper most receptacle(twist-lock),
located at the front of the light tower, can provide 240 VAC at 25
amps. The bottom receptacle is a GFCI receptacle which can
supply 120 VAC at 15 amps. These receptacles that can be used
for light power tools or other similar applications.
