Unpacking & Pre-Installation
Carefully remove the light head from its protective packaging. Inspect the unit for transit damage. Report any
damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton. Verify the contents of the package (refer to Table 3 and
Figures 2 and 3). Test the lights before installation. To test, touch the black wire to ground and the red wire to
12 VDC. If a problem occurs, contact the factory.
General Description
The PriZm II Perimeter lights are offered in sizes 3x7, 4x6 and 7x9. Both solid and multi-color are available.
Multi-color lights are “split” horizontally (left/right). The outer lens is field replaceable, and provides a water
-
proof barrier via an interface with a field replaceable outer gasket. The units are surface-mounted, requiring
no recesses to be cut in the vehicle for normal mounting. Only a hole for wiring and 4 small holes for mount-
ing screws will be required. The unit is available with or without bezel, and operates on (+12VDC). Solid color
lights are offered in the following colors: Red, Blue, Amber, White and Green. Multi-colored lights are available
in numerous configurations (refer to Table 3). Many flash patterns are offered, all between 70-250 fpm. The
units also feature dimming, synchronization and independent on/off (certain models only).

WARNING!
The use of this or any warning device does not insure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency warn-
ing signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can proceed safely before
entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes.
The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Read and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The vehicle operator should insure daily that all fea-
tures of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should insure the projection of the warning signal is
not blocked by vehicle components (i.e. open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions.
This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to understand and obey
all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check all applicable city, state and federal laws and
regulations.
Public Safety Equipment, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.
Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency vehicle.
It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and physiological stress
caused by the emergency situation. The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the
output performance of the system; B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he can operate
the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around
live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause
personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire. Wait 10 minutes after turning off the power from system
before touching any internal components. Always wear hand and eye protection when handling electrical components.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARN-
ING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
