Introduction
The Matrix System is designed to be mounted on a dump truck and can control the entire vehicle warning
lighting. It can flash synchronously with the programmability of the Matrix System Central Controller (CC).
The system can also Dim, Gang Shutoff, and Sync the warning lights powered from the CC. The Matrix
System controls your lights to match your situational needs by allowing the end user to change flash rates
(double, triple, quad-pop, etc.) as well as flash sequences (front-back, corner-corner, rotate-left-right, etc.)

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 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. 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. 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. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect
the way equipment should be mounted. This device should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones specified
by the vehicle manufacturer, if any. Any device mounted in the deployment area of an air bag will damage or reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag and may damage or dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its mounting hardware
and electrical supply wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Mounting the unit inside the vehicle
by a method other than permanent installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged during swerving, sudden
braking or collision. Failure to follow instructions can result in personal injury. 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.
