Installation & Mounting
Magnetic Mounting:
The magnetic based beacon provides a secure, temporary installation. The beacon should be placed in the center of the roof
where the least amount of curvature occurs. Check the magnet for debris before installation. Any foreign matter can reduce
holding power and scratch the vehicle. The roof surface should be dry and have a dull, not glossy finish. A glossy, highly
waxed surface will reduce the magnet's holding power. When placed, the beacon should adhere firmly. The user should not
attempt to drive with the beacon in place should the unit slide or move easily.
Permanent Mounting:
The permanent mount beacon provides a secure, permanent installation. Use the supplied foam gasket and screws to mount
the beacon in the desired location. Wire routing should be taken into consideration when choosing a mounting location.
Pipe Mounting (optional):
The beacon base will accept a standard 1" NPT pipe. Hand tighten the beacon base on the pipe thread until the pipe bottoms
out inside the unit.
Voltage Range:
DC 10V~30V
