Code 3 NarrowStik - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
The LED NarrowStik® and the LC-Stik are both traffic directing devices that will mount in many locations
including the back of a lightbar or rear panel of a truck. Each Stik is a series of lights that point traffic
away from the scene of an accident or work site.
The LED NarrowStik option utilizes state-of-the-art High-Flux LED lightheads. The LC-Stik utilizes more
economical and less bright Superflux LEDs. 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.
