Installation & Mounting:
Carefully remove the beacon and place it on a flat surface. Examine the unit
for transit damage, broken lenses, etc. If damage is found, contact the transit
company or distributor. Do not use damaged or broken parts.
Wiring Instructions:
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.
Wiring for single and dual color beacons are as shown in FIGURE 1. All wiring
should be a minimum of 20 AWG. The positive line must have a 3 amp fuse,
as shown. A switch may be used to control the on/off function. Route the
ground wire directly back to negative battery terminal. Pack dielectric grease,
such as Dow Corning 4, around each electric connection exposed to moisture
or the ambient environment.
Important!
Disable power before wiring the beacon.
Position the beacon in the desired mounting location. Using the base flange as
a template, mark the mounting hole locations. Drill three 13/64” mounting holes.
Drill a hole for power wire routing as desired. The use of a grommet is recom-
mended for wires passing through compartment walls. Secure the beacon in
place using the included #10 hardware.
Permanent Mounting:
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
Pipe Mounting:
Remove the surface mount flange and four screws from the beacon’s base.
Route the wires through the 1/2” NPT thread pipe and thread the beacon on until
secured.
