Caution: Permanent mounting of this product will require drilling. It
is absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle
components could be damaged by this process. Check
both sides of the mounting surface before starting. If
damage is likely, select a different mounting location.
Caution: The strobe power supply is a high voltage device. Do not
remove flash tubes or dismantle the strobe light head
assembly while in operation. Wait 10 minutes after turning
power off before starting work or trouble shooting.
Mounting Instructions:
This strobe light beacon features a variety of mounting options including a
1 Inch (NPT) Pipe Mount, Permanent Mount, Magnetic/Suction Mount,
Magnet Mount or Mirror Mount.
IMPORTANT: Always be sure the drain hole located on the base, is
facing the rear of the vehicle.
1 Inch (NPT) Pipe Mount:
Threading for a 1 inch (NPT) pipe mounting is precast in the base.
1.
Feed power cable through the 1 inch pipe and connect the cable to
the wires of the beacon.
2.
Screw the strobe beacon to the threads on the 1” pipe, taking
precaution not to damage the connected power wires.
NOTE: Do not tighten base too hard onto the threads of the pipe
so as not to damage the threads on the base.
Permanent Mount:
1.
Use the base as a template and mark the 3 mounting holes on the
mounting surface. After removing the base, mark in the center
between the 3 mounting holes the location of the wire access hole.
2.
Using a #16 drill bit, drill the mounting holes into the mounting
surface. Drill wire access hole using a 3/8” drill. Remove burrs from
wire access hole so as not to damage wires. It is also recommended
that you install a rubber grommet in each wire hole to further protect
the wires. A gasket will be used between the beacon base and the
mounting surface.
3.
After connecting the beacon to the power cable, feed the wires
through the cable access hole and place the base with the gasket on
the mounting surface, lining up the mounting holes in the base with
the lines in the mounting surface. Secure beacon firmly to the
mounting surface with the supplied #10 X 5/8” sheet metal screws.
Temporary Mount (Magnetic, Suction Cup, etc.)
With the magnetic or magnetic/suction cup mounting options you
will be able to mount your strobe so that you can remove it if
necessary and avoid drilling.
Magnetic/suction:
Thoroughly clean the proposed mounting surface prior
to mounting. For suction cup mounting, wipe the suction cup clean, place
the beacon onto its mounting surface and apply gentle pressure to ensure
a good seal has been achieved. The Magnetic/Suction Cups mount the
same as standard suction cups but are best suited to a flat, steel surface.
Magnetic:
Place beacon onto mounting surface. Plug into vehicle lighter.
Mirror Mount:
WARNING! Beacons equipped with cigar cords are intended for
short duration, intermittent operation only! Prolonged
operation requires the beacon to be wired to the vehicle.
WARNING! The presence of any temporarily mounted warning light
on the outside of a vehicle in motion is not
recommended and is at the sole discretion and liability
of the user!
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least
125% of the maximum operating current and FUSED at
the battery to carry the load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
Wiring:
DC voltage models are polarity sensitive. If the positive and negative wires
are reversed the unit will not function. The fuse is installed between the
power source and the beacon, in the positive (+) line RED and must be
fused at the battery. A 5 AMP Fuse is Recommended for this unit.
1.
Connect the RED wire on the beacon to positive voltage (+). A
customer supplied single pole single throw (SPST) switch may be
used to control the ON/OFF function of the beacon.
2.
Connect the BLACK wire on the beacon to a negative (-) ground.
IMPORTANT! Before returning vehicle to active service, confirm
proper operation of this product, as well as all vehicle components.
