1.
Proper installation combined with operator training in the use, care, and maintenance of emergency warning devices are essential to ensure
the safety of you and those you are seeking to protect.
2.
Exercise caution when working with live electrical connections.
3.
This product must be properly grounded. Inadequate grounding and/or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing,
which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
4.
Proper placement and installation are vital to the performance of this warning device. Install this product so that output performance of the
system is maximized and the controls are placed within convenient reach of the operator so that s/he can operate the system without losing
eye contact with the roadway.
5.
Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of an air bag. Equipment mounted or located in an air bag deployment
area may reduce the effectiveness of the air bag or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to the
vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area. It is the responsibility of the user/operator to determine a suitable mounting location
ensuring the safety of all passengers inside the vehicle particularly avoiding areas of potential head impact.
6.
It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure during use that all features of this product work correctly. In use, the vehicle operator
should ensure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e., open trunks or compartment doors), people,
vehicles or other obstructions.
7.
The use of this or any other warning device does not ensure all drivers can or will observe or react to a warning 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, respond-
ing at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes.
8.
This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. The user is responsible for understanding and obeying all laws regarding
warning signal devices. Therefore, the user should check all applicable city, state, and federal laws and regulations. The manufacturer as-
sumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.
Do not install and/or operate this safety product unless you have read and understand the safety information
contained
Failure to install or use this product according to manufacturers recommendations may result in property damage, serious injury, and/or death to
those you are seeking to protect!
Important!
This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused
power point to assure its continued operation should any other electrical accessory fail.
Caution:
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure the area is free from any electrical
wires, fuel lines, vehicle upholstery, etc. that could be damaged
Installation & Mounting:
Carefully remove the beacon and place it on a flat surface. Examine the unit for transit damage, and
locate all parts. If damage is found, or parts are missing, contact the transit company or ECCO. Do
not use damaged or broken parts.
Temporary Mounting, Vacuum-Magnet Mount:
The Vacuum-Magnet Mount feature includes a suction
cup on the bottom of the beacon, with a magnet inside
of the suction cup, for a secure, temporary mount. The
beacon should be placed in the center of the roof where
the least amount of curvature occurs. Before installing,
make sure the mounting surface is clean and there is
no debris on the bottom of the beacon or on the roof
of the vehicle, which could reduce the holding power
of the suction cup and magnet. Place and remove the
beacon without sliding to avoid scratching the paint on
the vehicle. After placement, the beacon should adhere
firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or moves easily, a
proper installation has not been obtained. To release the
vacuum, lift the tab to release the airlock (see Figure 2).
To protect the Vacuum-Magnet Mount assembly, return
beacon to the box when not in use.
Do not attempt to
attach the beacon to an ice-covered surface.
!
WARNING!
Important!
This light and associated power wiring should be located at least 3 feet away from any
radio transmitting antenna.
NOTE: The required separation distance can vary for some high
power transmitters/antennas. The maximum rated field strength is 60v/m.
