The use of emergency warning devices does not ensure the safety of the operator. The operator is 
responsible to ensure safe operation of the vehicle regardless of whether the warning device is in 
operation or not. 

 

This  device  contains  high-intensity  LEDs.  To  prevent  eye  damage  avoid  prolonged  exposure  to 
the light source and never look directly into the light. 

 

If  the  product  will  have  a  temporary  installation  system,  such  us:  magnetic,  suction  cup, 
VELCRO®  or  tape,  the  mounting  surface  has  to  be  cleaned  with  water  mixed  with  isopropyl 
alcohol or mild soap. 

 

Do not use a pressure washer to clean this product. To clean the lens use only water and mild soap. 
The use of stronger chemicals can affect the physical and optical characteristics of the outer lens, 
resulting in cracks and/or discoloration/opacity of the lens. 

 

The device must be installed so as not to reduce the output performance of vehicle systems. 

 

When  in  use  the  operator  must  ensure  that  the  warning  signal  is  visible  and  not  obstructed  by 
vehicle components (i.e. open trunk lid), people or other obstructions. 

 

This device is intended for use by authorized personnel only. The user responsibility is to ensure 
that all local, state/provincial and federal laws are being complied with. D&R assumes no liability 
for any loss resulting from the use of this device. 

 
 

Installation:  
 

Permanent Mount 
 

1. 

Determine the mounting position of the LED beacon 

2. Unscrew the 3 #4 stainless steel screws holding the bottom metal base together with the beacon. Keep 
the screws, washers and lock washers in a secure place as they are needed later in the mounting process. 
3.  Locate  the  2  mounting  holes  on  the  beacon  metal  mounting  base  and  mark  their  location  onto  the 
rubber gasket and onto the mounting surface. Locate and mark also onto the mounting surface the position 
of the center hole used for the harness passage.  
3.  Drill  the  2  marked  mounting  holes  into  the  rubber  gasket  and  into  the  mounting  surface  using  an 
appropriately sized drill bit. Drill the harness passage hole using a 3/8” drill bit. Clean all the holes from 
any residues resulted from the drilling process.  It is recommended to install a rubber grommet (customer 
supplied) to protect the beacon harness when is passed through the mounting surface.  
4. Place the rubber gasket onto the mounting surface  aligning the 2 mounting holes. Place on top of the 
gasket  the  metal  mounting  plate  matching  the  2  mounting  holes  with  the  ones  from  the  gasket  and  the 
mounting surface. Make sure that the gasket stays flat on the mounting surface. 
5. Secure the metal mounting base and the gasket to the mounting surface with sheet metal screws. 
5. Feed the beacon harness through the center hole of the plate, gasket and mounting surface passing hole. 
Place the assembled beacon onto the mounting base lining up the 3 mounting holes with the holes in the 
base plate. Secure the beacon to the mounting base with the 3 stainless steel screws removed in step 2. 
6.  Extend  the  wire  harness  to  access  the  power  source  and  refer  to  the  next  section  in  the  manual  for 
wiring and operation.
