Mounting:
Note: Permanent mounting of this product will require drilling. It is
absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle components
could be damaged by this process. Check both sides of the
mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely, select a
different mounting location.
Note: When routing the wires, it is important to choose a path that
will keep these wires away from excessive heat and from any vehicle
equipment that could compromise the integrity of the wires (ex.
trunk lids, door jams, etc.).
There are two ways to mount the light array. Both require the unit to be
secured to the mounting surface using sheet metal screws (supplied). The
cable harness can either be routed directly into the mounting surface or
out the side of the end cap (
see below
). When facing the LED. display, the
cable harness should exit from the right side of the bar.
Note: When the Traffic Advisor™ is mounted to the rear of the
vehicle, the cable exit must be on the passenger side. If not, the flash
pattern sequence you choose on the control head will be incorrect.
For example, a left flashing pattern will flash right.
1.
Position the unit in its proposed mounting location to ensure that it fits
properly. With the unit in place, use an awl or other suitable tool and
scribe the areas to be drilled, based on the desired style.
Style 1 -
Remove the unit from its mounting area and, using a 5/8” drill bit,
drill a hole for the cable harness. Affix the 5/8” grommet to the hole and
feed the cable harness through the grommet.
Style 2
(OPTIONAL) - To route the cable harness through the end cap a 5/
8” passage hole must be drilled. Remove the endcap from the light array,
via. the machine screws, as to prevent damage to the cable harness and
drill the hole. Place the 5/8” grommet on the hole and feed the cable
through. Once this is done, secure the endcap back onto the light array.
2.
Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in each of the areas
scribed in the previous step.
3.
Return the unit to its mounting location and using the supplied
hardware, mount the unit as shown below.
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!
Note: Do not install the fuse required in the fuse block, until
all
wire
connections are completed.
Installation is now complete. Refer to the wiring diagram below and the
manual that comes with your control head.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the installation technician to
make sure that the installation and operation of this product will not
interfere with or compromise the operation or efficiency of any
vehicle equipment! Before returning the vehicle to active service,
visually confirm the proper operation of this product, as well as all
vehicle components/equipment.
