WARRANTY
Code 3, ® Inc.'s emergency devices are tested and found to be operational at the time of
manufacture. Provided they are installed and operated in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations, Code 3, Inc. guarantees all parts and components except the lamps to a period
of 1 year (unless otherwise expressed) from the date of purchase or delivery, whichever is later. Units
demonstrated to be defective within the warranty period will be repaired or replaced at the factory
service center at no cost.
Use of lamp or other electrical load of a wattage higher than installed or recommended by the
factory, or use of inappropriate or inadequate wiring or circuit protection causes this warranty to
become void. Failure or destruction of the product resulting from abuse or unusual use and/or
accidents is not covered by this warranty. Code 3, Inc. shall in no way be liable for other damages
including consequential, indirect or special damages whether loss is due to negligence or breach of
warranty.
CODE 3, INC. MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS OR MERCHANTABILITY, WITH
RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT.
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high
current wires it is highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be
used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement
connectors (e.g. 3M
® Scotchlock type connectors). Route wiring using grommets and
sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to
reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g. underhood) will significantly reduce
the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. Use "SXL" type wire in
engine compartment. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other
recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot sur-
faces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to
anchor and protect all wiring. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the
power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices.
Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connec-
tions and splices to protect these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity. Ground
terminations should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly
to the vehicle battery. The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of the
maximum Amp capacity in the supply line to protect against short circuits. For example,
a 30 Amp fuse should carry a maximum of 24 Amps. DO NOT USE 1/4" DIAMETER
GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY IN SIZES
ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false
trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
