Star Headlight & Lantern 203MV Series - Manual

PLITSTR186 REV. G 2/8/05
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
203MV Series Strobe Lights
1. IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your new
warning light. This instruction sheet applies only to the models listed at the top of this
sheet.
2. CAUTION: All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These lights
are polarity protected only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires connected to the
positive terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for their rated load.
Testing the light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on
the light.
3. Your new warning light comes complete with one foam mounting gasket, one wire
grommet, two wire splicing terminals, three mounting screws, three lock washers,
and three hex nuts.
4. Using the base as a template, mark the three mounting holes on the surface you will
be mounting the light on. Take care to ensure that the base does not move while you
are marking each of the holes.
5. After marking your holes, remove the base and drill a 7/32" hole in the three marked
spots. Then drill a 3/8 “ hole in the center to route the wires through.
CAUTION: Take care not to drill through the headliner of the vehicle below.
6. Insert the enclosed wire grommet into the center hole.
7. Remove the headliner from the inside of the vehicle. Place the light on the surface of
the vehicle, routing the wires through the grommet. Align the outer holes of the base
with the holes in the mounting surface, install the screws and nuts, and tighten until
snug.
8. The black wire is the ground lead and should be connected to a good chassis
ground.
9. Connect the red wire to the positive side of your power source through a single-pole,
two position switch (not included), and a 5 Amp fuse. For 12 VDC applications you
may use Star model #SP3860-1 switch panel (see diagram on the reverse side of
this sheet).

qualify for the warranty coverage.
Exclusions from this warranty include, but are not limited to, bulbs, strobe tubes, domes, and/or the finish. This warranty shall
not apply to any light, which has been altered, such that in the manufacturer's judgment, the performance or reliability has been
affected, or if any damage has resulted from abnormal use or service. This warranty does not apply to defect or damage occurring
as a result of disaster, accident, abuse, misuse, lightning, power surges, or failure to follow instructions in any enclosed manuals.
Any damage or defects occurring as a result of any unauthorized service or repairs by unauthorized persons shall be excluded

There are no warranties expressed or implied (including any warranty of merchantability or fitness), which extend this warranty
period. The loss of use of the product, loss of time, inconvenience, commercial loss or consequential damages,
including costs of any labor, are not covered. The manufacturer reserves the right to change the design of the product
without assuming any obligation to modify any product previously manufactured.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You might also have additional rights which may vary from state to state. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, the above limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to you.
