Code 3 Intrepid User Manual

Page 2

Introduction: Read all instructions and warnings before installing and using. The Intrepid

Lights are for the

emergency vehicle market. The lights are to be connected directly to +12 VDC systems for independent flashing or

through electromechanical or solid state flasher units.

Unpacking & Pre-Installation: Carefully remove the hardware, taking care not to scratch the lens, and inspect for

transit damage. Report any damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton. Verify the contents of the package

(refer to Tables and Figures). Test the lights before installation by inserting the cigarette plug-in of the power cord into

an appropriate +12 VDC socket. If problems occur, contact the factory.

Installation & Mounting - Suction Cup (or Headliner if Suction Cups Removed)

The below steps apply to Intrepid

Lights. See Figures 1, 2 & 3.

CAUTION: This unit is not designed to be suspended by the suction cups above the dashboard. When using

the suction cups for installation, the unit must be placed on top of the dashboard. The suction cups only pre-

vent movement of the unit.

1. Attach one suction cup to the T52218 90-degree mounting bracket using one of the #10 self tapping screws. Do not

overtighten. Repeat for the remaining three suction cups.

2. Attach the T52217 bracket to the light head using two T00390 8-32x3/4” machine screws.

3. Position the T52239 Retention Strip through the large opening in the T52217 bracket, then secure to the T52217

bracket using one T07077 6-32x1/4” machine screw.

4. Attach the T52218 90-degree mounting bracket (with suction cups installed) to the T52217 bracket/light head as-

sembly and secure using four T07077 6-32x1/4” machine screws (two per side). Do not tighten at this time.

5. Snap the T52212 swivel visor into the light head.

6. Ensure the vehicle is on level ground.

7. Place the assembled light head against the inside of the windshield at the desired location and press the suction cups

until they depress and are secured.

8. Rotate the assembled light head until it is at the desired position, and then tighten the previously installed T07077

6-32x1/4” machine screws (4 total). The rotating visor will automatically adjust to fit the curvature of the windshield and

minimize flashback.

Installation & Mounting - Deck (or Headliner if Light Head Assembly Turned Over)

The below steps apply to Intrepid

Lights. Only the Single is shown. See Figures 4, 5 & 6.

CAUTION: The unit must be mounted through the steel of the vehicle. Avoid mounting to plastic or other non-

structural hardware.

1. Attach the T52217 bracket to the light head using two T00390 8-32x3/4” machine screws.

2. Attach the T52218 90-degree mounting bracket to the T52217 bracket/light head assembly and secure using four

T07077 6-32x1/4” machine screws (two per side). Do not tighten at this time.

3. Mark off and drill four mounting holes using the dimensions shown on Figure 7. It is recommended that #6 or larger

self tapping or machine screws are used (customer must supply). Verify free clearance exists behind the mounting

surface for wires and fasteners before drilling.

4. Secure unit to deck or headliner.

5. Rotate the assembled light head until it is at the desired position, and then tighten the previously installed T07077

6-32x1/4” machine screws (4 total).

Wiring Instructions

All models are stand alone self-contained units ready for installation with no special wiring required. They are delivered

with a cigarette plug designed to be used with a +12VDC fused lighter socket. Alternately, the user can remove the plug

and connect (through a properly sized fuse) to a user supplied switch. The ribbed wire is positive (+12VDC) and the

smooth wire is negative. The following guidelines must be adhered to:

a. Customer must supply grommet to ensure no wire chafing occurs when routing wires though vehicle.

b. Use 18 AWG for wires up to 40’ length, 16 AWG for wires up to 70’ length.

c. Waterproof connectors are recommended.
