Code 3 PSE440 Remote Strobe Power Supply - Manual (Page 3)

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 responsi-
bility 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 5
minutes after turning off the power from system before touching any internal componentry.
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.
