Wiring:
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 that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
Operation:
Low Power: (Low power not available in Amber models)
Latching Mode:
By apVBAT to the VIOLET wire for less than 1 second, the
light is “latched” into low power. The unit must be turned off and then back on to
restore normal high power operation (Momentary switch).
Level Mode:
ApVBAT to the VIOLET wire for more than 1 second holds the
lightbar in low power mode until voltage is removed (Toggle switch).
Scan-Lock™
- Activate the power wire to turn on the beacon.
To cycle forward
through patterns
, activate the WHT/VIO wire for less than 1 second and release.
To
cycle backward through patterns
, activate the WHT/VIO wire for more than 1 second
and release.
To choose a pattern
, allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The
beacon will now display this pattern when active. To reset to the factory default
pattern, turn off power, activate the WHT/VIO wire, then turn power back on. Use a
normally open momentary switch to control Scan-lock™.
Flash Patterns:
1.
Rotator 125 PH1 (Clockwise)
2.
Rotator 125 PH2 (Clockwise)

IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installation technician to make sure
that the installation and operation of this product:
A) will not interfere with, or compromise the operation or efficiency of any
vehicle equipment.
B) conforms to any and all applicable UNECE regulations prior to field
operation.
SYNC - All beacons configured to display the Phase 1 mode of a pattern will flash
simultaneously. Any beacons configured to display the Phase 2 mode of a pattern,
will alternate with any Phase 1 beacons of the same pattern.
To SYNC two beacons, configure both beacons to display the same Phase 1 pattern.
With the power off, connect the GRY wire from each beacon together. When the
beacons are activated, their patterns will be synchronized. If you want the beacons to
alternate their patterns, advance the pattern of either beacon to the Phase 2 mode of
the current pattern.
Do not SYNC more than 8 beacons.
This beacon must be mounted in a normal, ‘dome-up’ position.
Permanent Surface Mount:
Adapter Plate
1. Place the adapter plate onto the proposed mounting location. Using the plate as a
template, mark the three mounting hole locations onto the mounting surface. Mark
the location for the wire passage hole. Note that this hole must be centered
between the three mounting holes (Fig. 1).
2. Using a drill bit sized for #6-32 Phillips pan head machine screws, drill the 3
mounting holes. Using a 3/8 bit, drill the cable access hole. Deburr all 4 holes and
install a rubber grommet
(user supplied)
in the wire passage hole.
3. Secure the adapter plate to the beacon base using the 3, #8 x 5/8 Phillips flat
head screws provided.
4. The next step will require access to the underside of the mounting surface and an
assistant. Position the base seal onto the mounting surface so that all the holes
are aligned. Route the beacon wires down through the wire passage hole and
place the beacon onto the mounting surface.
5. Insert the 3, #6-32 x 3/4 Phillips pan head machine screws up through the
mounting surface and into the threaded holes in the adapter plate. Tighten the
screws firmly to secure the beacon.
Direct Mount
1. Using the beacon base as a template, mark the three mounting hole locations
onto the mounting surface. Mark the location for the wire passage hole. Note that
this hole must be centered between the three mounting holes.
2. Drill the mounting holes into the mounting
surface with a #16 drill bit. Drill the wire
passage hole with a 3/8” drill bit. Deburr the
wire passage hole and install a rubber grommet
(user supplied)
into the wire passage hole.
3. Position the base seal onto the mounting
surface so that all the holes are aligned. Route
the beacon wires down through the wire
passage hole and place the beacon onto the
mounting surface.
4. Secure the beacon firmly to the mounting
surface using the supplied #10 mounting
screws.
Note: This beacon may be mounted using “J” hooks. Be sure to use the
correct “J” hook mounting holes as shown.
Temporary Mount (Optional)
WARNING: The use of any magnetically mounted warning device on the
outside of a vehicle in motion is not recommended and is at the sole risk and
responsibility of the user.
Note: Models with magnetic mounting styles do not offer Low Power or SYNC
Magnetic/Suction:
Thoroughly clean the proposed mounting surface prior to
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 and that the
magnet is in full contact with the mounting surface. Magnetic/Suction mounting is
best suited to a flat, steel surface.
Magnetic (Single and Triple Magnet):
Place the beacon onto the mounting surface
and plug it into the vehicle cigar lighter.
