Introduction
The Large LED Narrowstik® is a traffic directing device that will mount in many locations. The Large LED Narrowstik is a series of
lights that point traffic away from the scene of an accident or work site and utilizes state-of-the-art High-Flux L.E.D. lightheads. These
lightheads last longer and use much less current than standard incandescent lamps.
The use of this or any warning device does not insure 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 correctly. 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 responsibility
to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check
all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations.
Public Safety Equipment, 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. Properly
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
After unpacking the items, carefully inspect the unit and its associated parts for any damage that may have
been caused in transit. Report any damage to the carrier immediately.
Installation & Mounting
The Large LED Narrowstik was designed for mounting with a minimum four fasteners. The outer covers at each arrow wing must be
removed since they conceal the prepunched mounting holes for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Three #6 x .5" sheet metal
screws attach the covers and may be removed with a T-15 Torx screwdriver. (See Figure 1) The system is designed to use 3/8"-16
fasteners (included in the parts bag, see Figure 2 for details) for attaching the Narrowstik frame to the customer’s mounting surface. The
Split Narrowstik assembly is mounted in a similar fashion but uses two ¼”-20 fasteners (included in the parts bag) to attach each end flange
and complete the mounting. Attachment holes may be drilled anywhere along the main horizontal frame to attach the Narrowstik assembly
for a variety of mounting applications. Care should be taken to first remove the outer cover and be certain that no wiring is damaged during
the drilling and mounting process. The plastic caps (included in the parts bag) may be installed in the prepunched mounting holes if not
used to install the Narrowstik.
