Unpacking & Pre-installation
Carefully remove the SuperVisor TL™ and place it on a flat surface, taking care not to scratch the lenses or damage the cable coming
out of the side. Examine the unit for transit damage, broken lamps, etc. Report any damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton.
Standard lightbars 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 lightbar, 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). Some units may be factory wired for control
by an LED flasher in which case the cable's wire tag should be consulted. 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.
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 physi-
ological 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.
Any electronic device may create or be affected by electronmagnetic interference. After installation of any electronic
device operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of interference. Never power emer-
gency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding circuit with radio communication
equipment.
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.
All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and securely fastened to vehicle
elements of sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied to the device. Driver and/or passenger airbags (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 electircal 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.

Introduction
The SuperVisor TL™ is an interior lighting system that fits in the visor area near the top of the windshield. It delivers an amazing warning
signal. The SuperVisor TL is designed on a modular basis, which means that the lightbar can be customized to meet most any
requirements. The SuperVisor TL has room for up to ten LED lightheads. Each lighthead is individually wired for any flash pattern or
combination of flash patterns required.
