design and long life capabilities make it virtually maintenance free. When properly configured, the Duo-Beam

will provide 360 degree coverage and will exceed SAE Class 1 and California Title 13 requirements.

The use of this or any warning device does not ensure that all drivers can or will observe or

react to an emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your

responsibility to be sure you can proceed safely before entering an intersection, driving

against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes.

The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and

wiring. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this

device. The vehicle operator should insure daily that all features of the device operate cor-

rectly. In use, the vehicle operator should insure the projection of the warning signal is not

blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles,

or other obstructions.

This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s respon-

sibility to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user

should check all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations.

Code 3, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.

Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation

of the emergency vehicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency

vehicle is under psychological and physiological stress caused by the emergency situation.

The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the output

performance of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator

so that he can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.

Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Prop-

erly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of

electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/

or severe vehicle damage, including fire.

PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER

USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY

OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.

Unpacking & Pre-installation

the cable coming out of the bottom. Examine the unit for transit damage, broken lamps, etc. Report any

damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton.
