Introduction
All LP 6000 Series light bars include mounting kits, packed in a separate small box inside the box containing
the light bar. The standard kit may be used for hook-on or permanent mounting. Towing & Recovery bars,
normally pylon mounted, do not include mounting kits, however. These are optionally available from your dealer
or the factory.
Unpacking & Pre-installation
Carefully remove the light bar from the shipping carton
and place on a flat surface, taking care not to damage
the wire cable coming out of the bottom. Examine the
unit for transit damage, cracked lenses, dented speaker
cover, etc. If convenient, you may wish to bench test
the unit before installing. Before applying voltage to the
bar, be sure you have read and understand the wiring
instructions attached to the cable. Standard LP6000
TM
bars operate on 12 volt D.C. negative ground (earth)
systems only. If you have a positive ground (earth)
vehicle, or any other type of system, and have not
ordered a specially wired bar, contact the factory for instructions.
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 ensure daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use,
the vehicle operator should ensure 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. Do not touch the strobe light tubes, the strobe light head
assemblies or the strobe power supply while the system is in operation. Wait 10 minutes after
turning off the power from system before touching any internal components.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER
USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF
EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
