Installation & Mounting

The Model 99XXX, 98XXX, 92XXX, and 95XXX Strobe Beacons are shipped fully tested and ready for installation. Refer to Figure 1 for
attachment points. Connect wiring as shown in Figure 2. Grommets and sealant should be used to keep water out of your vehicle.

New Installation Mounting

Use A, B & C mounting holes. Be sure "Rear" is placed facing the rear of vehicle.

Universal Replacement Mounting
(option)

If replacing existing Whelen/TT/Austin strobe products, use A,
B & D mounting holes. Remove lens and punch hole "D" using
a punch or drill bit. Use CAUTION not to damage the PCB. Be
sure "Rear" is placed facing rear of vehicle.

Magnetic Mounting (option)

Use optional magnetic mount for temporary mounting of the unit to
stationary vehicles.

Pipe Mounting

The Strobe base will accept a standard 1" NPT pipe. Hand tighten the beacon base on the pipe thread until the pipe bottoms out
inside the unit. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Excessive torque may crack the beacon base. Secure with a locknut to prevent unit
from coming loose. Use the appropriate reducer to mount to 3/4" or 1/2" pipe.

1) Rust Stains: Magnetic mounting is not intended as permanent mounting for beacons. Long duration usage of
any magnet will expose the high iron content of the steel, thereby causing rust. The device should by 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.
Magnetic mount products provide a secure, temporary installation in most circumstances and is recommended
for stationary use only. For maximum warning signal, mount the beacon on the highest possible flat, level
surface of the vehicle.
