IMPORTANT WARNING: When this emitter is mounted, it must not obstruct any part of the
driver’s view. Make sure that after the emitter is installed, the operator has an unobstructed
view through the windshield.
IMPORTANT WARNING: Do not install this product or route any wires in the
deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or located in the air bag
deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or
become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to
your vehicle owners manual for the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer
assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on
providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle. Whelen
Engineering Co. assumes no liability or responsibility for determining
individual applications or exact installation location criteria.
Installation Style 1: Headliner Mounting
1.
Attach the mounting bracket to the emitter by hooking the four tabs of the bracket
into the 4 slots on the top, leading edge of the emitter housing. This is secured
to the housing by inserting the 2 bracket mounting screws through the
mounting tabs on the rear top of the housing and into the bracket mounting
holes.
2.
Now position the light (with bracket attached) onto the area of the headliner
selected as the mounting location. Using a pin as a probe, make sure that both
headliner mounting screws will catch the roof support beam under the headliner and miss
the 2 holes in the support beam. Using a colored pencil or similar implement, mark the area of
the headliner to be drilled for the mounting holes.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to cut a section out of the emitter housing to accommodate your rear view
mirror. Using a small cutting tool, cut the area outlined on the lower, leading edge of the emitter housing.
3.
Remove the light and drill 2 mounting holes with an appropriately sized drill bit.
4.
Remove the bracket from the emitter and secure the bracket to the mounting location using the mounting screws provided.
5.
Re-attach the emitter to the mounting bracket as outlined in Step 1.

Installation Style 2: Windshield Mounting
IMPORTANT WARNING: When this emitter is mounted, it must not
obstruct any part of the driver’s view. Make sure that after the emitter
is installed, the operator has an unobstructed view through the
windshield.
IMPORTANT WARNING: Do not install this product or route any wires
in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or located
in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause
serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual
for the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full
responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on
providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle. Whelen
Engineering Co. assumes no liability or responsibility for determining
individual applications or exact installation location criteria.
1.
Attach mounting bracket to emitter by hooking the four tabs of the bracket into
the 4 slots on the top, leading edge of the emitter housing. This is secured to
the housing by inserting the 2 bracket mounting screws through the mounting
tabs on the rear top of the housing and into the screw grommets in the bracket.
2.
With a helper holding the mounting bracket in its proposed mounting location
against the windshield, make a rough outline of the mounting bracket contact
surface on the outside of the glass. A crayon or grease pencil should be
suitable for this purpose.
CAUTION: The windshield
must
be at a temperature between 65° and 70°
for the adhesive to work. If necessary, run your
defroster to heat the windshield before installing.
3.
After the mounting area has been clearly outlined, remove the mounting bracket from the emitter housing.
4.
Using the adhesive included with your mounting kit, attach the bracket to the windshield.
Be sure to follow the instructions on the adhesive package
precisely
(the adhesive
must
be applied to the bracket and the activator
must
be applied to the windshield).
5.
After allowing the proper drying time
(see adhesive instructions)
re-attach the emitter housing to the bracket (as outlined in step 1 of this section).
