Code 3 MX 7000 - Manual (Page 3)

Unpacking & Pre-installation
Carefully remove the light bar and place it on a flat surface, taking care not to scratch the lenses or damage 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.
Standard light bars are built to operate on 12 volt D.C. negative ground (earth) vehicles. If you have an electrical system other than
12 volt D.C. negative ground (earth), and have not ordered a specially wired light bar, contact the factory for instructions.
Test the unit before installation. To test, touch the black wire to the ground (earth) and the other wires to +12 volts D.C., in
accordance with the instructions attached to the cable (an automotive battery is preferable for this test). A battery charger may be
used, but please note that some electronic options (flashers, stingrays, etc.) may not operate normally when powered by a battery
charger. If problems occur at this point, contact the factory.
MOUNTING HARDWARE- All mounting hardware is packed in a small box inside the main carton. Four standard kits are
available: (1) Hook-On Type, (1) Tow and Recovery and (2)
Permanent Types. These are discussed in detail later. Note:
Hook-on mounting for "gutterless" type vehicles will require a
special hook for mounting. Several are available. Contact the
factory for details.
SIREN SPEAKERS
(Single Speaker Installation in 43", 47", 52" & 58"
Light bars) Speaker Installation is advised at this
point while the speaker section is easily accessible.
To install a speaker, first remove the two (2) hex-
head screws, (4 screws on 58 1/4" bars) from the
bottom of the perforated side of the speaker cover.
The cover is hinged at the back--pull the front of the
cover up and over the lenses to remove it. Figure 1
shows the speaker cover opened and location holes
for installing a Code 3 "LP" speaker. If other than a
Code 3
® "LP" speaker is used, two possibilities
exist for speaker installation. An "LPSPKR"
conversion kit is available from the factory to
mount an existing speaker in an MX7000
TM .
Otherwise, holes must be drilled for installation.
The center speaker deck is 1/8" thick aluminum and
may be drilled almost anywhere. Before drilling,
however, it is imperative to remove the speaker
deck so as not to damage any components below.
All holes in this area not used must be sealed with
some type of water resistant caulking so that
components below are protected from the
elements. Re-install the speaker deck, then mount
the speaker and connect the leads to the terminal
block. Non "LP" speaker bells must be trimmed to
match the speaker cover contour.
Replace the cover.
