Introduction:

The ARCH

 Beacon is a weatherproof LED based warning light that contains 36 state-of-the-art high intensity 

LEDs in three stacked rows.  The unique design efficiently captures light from the LEDs with individual optics 

that diffuse the light in an effective warning pattern.

This Product contains high intensity LED devices.  To prevent eye damage, DO NOT stare 

into light beam at close range.

The use of this or any warning device does not insure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency 

warning signal.  Never take the right-of-way for granted.  It is your responsibility to be sure you can proceed 

safely before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed,  or walking on 

or around traffic lanes.

The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring.  Read and follow 

the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device.  The vehicle operator should insure daily that 

all features of the device operate correctly.  In use, the vehicle operator should insure the projection of the warning 

signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other 

obstructions.  This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only.  It is the user’s responsibility to 

understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices.  The user should check all applicable city, 

state and federal laws and regulations.

Code 3 , Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.

Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency 

vehicle.  It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and physi-

ological stress caused by the emergency situation.  The warning device should be installed in such a manner as 

to: A) Not reduce the output performance of the system,  B)  Place the controls within convenient reach of the 

operator so that he can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.

Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use cau-

tion around live electrical connections.  Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current 

arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.

PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY 

WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE 

PUBLIC.
