Quick Connect (DIN/Pole Mount) Rotating Beacon: EB7810
These beacons are designed for pipe mounting on a ¾” pipe, and
connected to power via a standard DIN connector (See FIGURE 2).
To mount, simply plug in the DIN connector, place on the pipe, and
tighten the wing nut. The unit can be easily removed for storage
and security.
One Bolt Mounting Rotating Beacon: EB7816
1. Select the mounting location for the beacon on a flat, smooth
surface. If the beacon is to be mounted on a curved surface,
such as on the roof of the vehicle, choose a placement with
the least amount of curvature. The mounting location for the
beacon should be chosen such that there is maximum
visibility to the oncoming traffic.
2. Remove the nut and two washers from the base.
3. Place the unit in the desired mounting position, and mark the
mounting hole.
4. Drill and deburr a 9/16” (14mm) hole for mounting.
5. Wire the beacon as shown in FIGURE 4. Apply sealant around
the wires where they pass through the mounting surface to
prevent leakage.
6. Mount the beacon, using the hole drilled in step 4. Secure the
unit using the previously removed hardware. As shown in
FIGURE 3.

Three Bolt Mount Rotating Beacon: EB7813 (Refer to FIGURE 1)
1.
Select the mounting location for the beacon on a flat, smooth
surface. If the beacon is to be mounted on a curved surface,
such as on the roof of the vehicle, choose a placement with the
least amount of curvature. The mounting location for the beacon
should be chosen such that there is maximum visibility to the
oncoming traffic.
2. Remove the three (3) mounting bolts from the base.
3. Place the unit in the desired mounting position, and mark the
position of the mounting holes.
4. Drill the three mounting holes using a 5/16” (8mm) drill size.
5. Drill a 3/8” hole for the beacon’s power supply wires, and deburr.
The hole should be underneath where the beacon will be
mounted. Note: the use of a grommet is recommended, to
protect the wires from the sharp edges of the hole.
6. Wire the beacon as shown in FIGURE 4. Apply sealant around
the wires where they pass through the mounting surface to
prevent leakage.
7. Mount the beacon, using the holes drilled in step 3. Secure in
place using included hardware.

agnet Mount Rotating Beacon: EB7813-MG
The Magnet Mount features a magnet for temporary mounting.
The beacon should be placed in the center of the roof where the
least amount of curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure
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 magnet.
Place and remove the beacon without sliding to avoid scratch-
ing 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.
Do not attempt to
attach the beacon to an ice covered surface.
WARNING!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe
operation using the Magnet Mount model is 65 mph
(104 km/h) on a well maintained road, when fitted
to the center of a vehicle roof of steel construction.
Higher speeds could cause the mount to fail, result-
ing in the beacon flying off of the vehicle, which
could cause damage to other vehicles and injury or
death to the passengers.
The magnet mount is not intended as a permanent
mounting for the beacon. The magnet mount unit
must be mounted on a magnetic surface (i.e. no fi-
berglass, etc.). Insure that the magnet is kept clean.
