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, LED Lighthead modules to a period of 5 years (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.

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. under hood) 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 surfaces. 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 connections

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.
