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.
Magnetic Mounting (option)
Use optional magnetic mount for temporary mounting of the unit to stationary vehicles.
Headache Rack Mounting
The Headache Rack Mounting Bracket(HRMNTH) is
available to mount the Flash Series beacon to a
headache rack of a flat bed truck. Mount the beacon
to the bracket using the "Mounting Using Screws from
Underneath Beacon" instructions. Mount the bracket
to the headache rack using self-drilling screws or
driving screws through pre-drilled holes
Flush Mounting Without Removing Lens
The Flash Series Flush Mount Bracket LFLMNT is available to mount the beacon to a surface without
removing the lens and without access to drive screws from underneath the beacon. Transfer the
mounting holes from the bracket to the mounting surface. Drill four 11/64" holes into the mounting
surface. Place base gasket on the mounting surface. Drive four #8 flat head screws through
mounting bracket. Place the other base gasket on top of the bracket. Remove the three screws
holding the circuit case onto beacon. Align the holes in the circuit case with the holes in the bracket
and re-attach the screws through the bracket and into the base.

WARNING!
!
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.
