WARNING!
Important!
This unit is a safety device, and it must be
connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its
continued operation should any other electrical accessory fail.
5545/5550 Series - Reflex™ LED Microbars provide
a compact yet powerful warning solution that offers
the flexibility of either permanent or magnet
mounting. All models feature 12-24 VDC operation
and use LED technology to maximize light output,
offering multiple flash patterns including double, quad
quint, rotate and random.
Current Draw:
5545: 1.48 Amps Maximum
Maximum power consumption: 18.9 watts
5550: 3.8 Amps Maximum
Maximum power consumption: 48.6 watts
Flash Rate:
See Flash Pattern Chart
Temp. Range:
-30ºC to +50ºC
Installation & Mounting:
Magnet Mount:
The Magnet Mount feature includes a suction cup on the bottom of the microbar,
with a magnet inside of the suction cup, for a secure, temporary mount. The
microbar 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 microbar or on the roof of the vehicle, which
could reduce the holding power of the suction cup and magnet. Place and remove
the microbar without sliding to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After
placement, the microbar should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or
moves easily, a proper installation has not been obtained. To release, lift the tab to
release the airlock (see Figure 1). To protect the Magnet Mount assembly, return
microbar to the box when not in use.
Do not attempt to attach the microbar to an
ice-covered surface.
Carefully remove the Microbar and place it on a flat surface.
Examine the unit for transit damage, and locate all parts. If damage
is found, or parts are missing, contact the transit company or ECCO.
Do not use damaged or broken parts.
