Code 3 300 Series Beacon - Manual (Page 3)

1) Rust Stains: The magnetic mount is not intended as a permanent mounting for the
beacon. Long duration usage of any magnet will expose the high iron content of the steel
causing rust. The device should be removed when not used to prevent rust stains. Metallic
debris collected by the magnet will also contribute to rust stains. Insure that the magnet is
kept clean.
2) Surface rust stains can usually be removed with chrome polish, available at most auto
part stores.
3) As with any magnetically-mounted warning device, its use on the exterior of a moving
vehicle is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the user.
This magnetic mount product provides a secure, temporary installation in most circum-
stances and is recommended for stationary use only. For maximum warning signal, mount
the beacon on the highest possible flat, level surface of the vehicle.

Magnetic Mounting
Stanchion Mounting
The 310 TM Beacon is available with factory installed threaded flanges, 1/2” NPT or 3/4” NPT. Route the wiring as
described above and make the recommended connections. Guide user wiring through the pipe and terminate
securely to the power lead and ground wires of the Mode 310 Beacon. Fasten the flange mount beacon onto the
pipe by hand until secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
Permanent-Resilient Mounting
Locate the Model 310 Beacon on the highest possible level surface on the vehicle for the maximum warning
signal. Caution! When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure that each side is free from anything that
could be damaged (i.e., electrical wires, fuel lines or vehicle upholstery). Use the three mounting bosses of the
beacon base as a template to establish pilot holes. Drill three equally spaced 3/8” holes on a 5-1/2” dia. bolt
circle. See Figure 1. Locate the mounting hardware as illustrated and insert into the 3/8” holes. The correctly
installed rubber-threaded insert is a watertight and shock-resistant mount which will increase the effectiveness
and long life of the product. Do not overtighten the screws! In applications where the protruding screw enters
the passenger compartment, the screw can be reversed to minimize the risk of personal injury on the protruding
screw threads. See figure 2. Do not tighten nut until hardware is positioned properly.
