Permanent Mount:
1. Select the desired location on a flat surface for the
Minibar to be mounted. The visibility of the flash and
ease of wiring access should be taken into
consideration in the selection of the mounting location.
2. Remove lens screws, then remove lens. Use the four holes
in the corners of the base to mark the mounting hole
locations.
3. Drill the holes using a 7/32” drill size.
4. A fifth hole may be drilled for wire access.
5. Connect the power wires as shown in the wiring section
(see Figure 3).
6. Mount the minibar with M5 hardware provided.

Vacuum-Magnet Mount:
1. Remove round black stickers for vacuum placement
2. Remove lens screws, then remove lens.
3. Unclip and remove wire harness
4. Position vacuum magnets, place, and tighten screws.
5. Insert pinned end of cable through the wire harness hole
from the bottom of the base. Pull at least 6 inches of slack.
6. Turn pins crimp side up, and insert pins into connector as
shown in Figure 1.
7. Place zip-tie 1.0” from base of the connectors shown in
Figure 2. Zip-tie must not slide on cord.
8. Trim excess zip-tie.
9. Clip connector to the PCA board and pull slack until zip-tie
touches base.
10. Install lens, reverse of removal.
11. Slide o-ring onto screw until it reaches head, before placing
into lens. If o-rings are damaged, replace with new ones.

Important!
Disable power before wiring up the Minibar.
Wiring:
The wiring for the permanent mount minibar is as shown in Figure 3. All
wiring should be a minimum of 18AWG. The positive line must have a 7.5
amp fuse, as shown. A switch may be used to control the on/off function.
Flash Mode Selection:
Flash patterns can be selected on permanent mount minibars by touching
the yellow wire to the red power wire for less than a second. Contacting
the yellow and red wires for longer than a second toggles to the preceding
flash pattern. The VM and MG models have flash pattern select via a
momentary switch on the cigarette plug.

Flash Pattern Syncing:
The 5590 and 5597 permanent mount models sync with other compatible
ECCO products via the blue wire:
1. Determine the desired style of flash pattern for each unit and
set each unit individually (without the BLUE wires connected
together) to avoid confusion. It is also strongly recommended that
the same style of flash pattern be used on all units to produce the
most effective warning pattern. (NOTE: Phases A and B for each
style of flash pattern in the table denote the relative timing
between units connected in a synchronizing installation. To
operate simultaneously, each unit must be set to the same phase
(A + A or B + B); to operate alternately, units must be set to have
the opposite phase (A + B or B + A)).
2. Connect the BLUE (SYNC) wires together and check that the
units are flashing in a synchronized manner as expected. If a
pattern on one module appears to be wrong, the YELLOW
(PATTERN SET) wire can be used to cycle forward or backward
on that individual unit until the correct pattern is selected.
Note: This will only change the pattern in the one unit and will
not affect the other units connected to the BLUE (SYNC) wire.
3. If the blue wire is unused, leave unconnected and insulated.
The Vacuum-Magnet Mount feature includes suction cups on the bottom
of the minibar, with a magnet inside of the suction cup, for a secure,
temporary mount. The minibar 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
minibar or on the roof of the vehicle, which could reduce the holding power
of the suction cup and magnet. Place and remove the minibar without
sliding to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After placement, the
minibar 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 4). To protect the Vacuum-
Magnet Mount assembly, return minibar to the box when not in use.
Do not
attempt to attach the minibar to an ice-covered surface.
