Wiring:
Note: All beacons in this manual should be fused at 5 AMPS.
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
Listed below are the wire designations for the L22 beacon. To

Mounting:
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 beacon into the threads on the 1” pipe, taking
precaution not to damage the connected power wires. Do not
tighten base too hard as not to damage threads on base.
Permanent Mount:
1.
Use the base as a template and mark off the three mounting
holes onto the mounting surface. After removing the base, in the
center between the three mounting holes, mark the location of
the wire access hole.
2.
Drill mounting holes into the mounting surface with a drill sized
for the #10 mounting screws supplied. Drill the wire access hole
using a 3/8” drill
(.375 inch)
. Remove any burrs from the wire
access hole as not to damage wires. It is also recommended that
you install a rubber grommet
(customer supplied)
into the wire
hole to further protect the wires.
3.
The base seal
(ITEM 14)
will be used between the LED beacon
base and the mounting surface.
4.
Feed the wires first through the base seal and then through the
cable access hole and place the base
(with seal)
on the
mounting surface
(while lining up the mounting holes in the base
with the mounting holes you drilled into the mounting surface).
Secure the beacon firmly to the mounting surface with the
supplied mounting screws (ITEM 8).
“J” Hook Mount:
This beacon is equipped to handle the “J” hook mount available on
some beacons. Be sure to use the correct “J” hook mounting holes
(Fig. 1).
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 way as standard suction cups but are
best suited to a flat, steel surface.
Magnetic:
Simply place the beacon onto the mounting surface and
plug it into the vehicle cigar lighter.
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!
Note:
The magnetic mount model does not offer
Scan-Lock and comes with SignalAlert™ 75.
Programming / Scan-Lock™ / White-Violet:
When the lighthead is turned on, the default pattern is displayed.
TO CHANGE PATTERNS:
Apply +12 volts to the WHT-VIO wire for
less than 1 second and release to cycle forward to the next available
pattern. Apply +12 volts to the WHT-VIO wire for more than 1 second
and release to cycle back to the previous pattern.
TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT PATTERN:
When the desired pattern is
displayed, allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The lighthead will
now display this pattern when initially activated.
TO RESTORE THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN:
With the power
to the lighthead off, apply +12 volts to the WHT-VIO wire. Now turn
power to the lighthead on. The factory default pattern should now be
displayed.
A Normally Open momentary switch can be used to control
Scan-Lock operation.
Available Scan-Lock Patterns:
SignalAlert™ 75 > SignalAlert™ 150 > SingleFlash 375 > SingleFlash
150 > SingleFlash 75 > DoubleFlash 150 > DoubleFlash 75 >
CometFlash® 75 > ActionFlash™ > ModuFlash™ 70 > ComAlert™ >
ActionScan™ > SignalAlert™ Steady > Steady Brake > Steady
IMPORTANT! Before returning this vehicle to active service,
visually confirm the proper operation of this product, as well as
all vehicle components/equipment.
CAUTION! DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT
THESE LED’S WHILE THEY ARE ON.
MOMENTARY BLINDNESS AND/OR EYE
DAMAGE COULD RESULT!
IMPORTANT WARNING!
