Mounting:
The L53 beacon is available in Permanent mount, Magnetic mount and mirror
mount. The L53 beacon is designed to be mounted in a normal dome-up position.
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the
maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry that
load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
Permanent mount:
1. Position the beacon in its mounting location (refer to warnings on page 1).
2. Locate the 3 mounting holes on the bottom of the base. Using the base as a
template, mark the location of the these holes onto the mounting surface.
Remove the beacon and make a mark in the center of the beacons mounted
position for a wire passage hole.
3. Using a #16 drill bit, drill the three mounting holes marked in the previous
step. The wire access hole should be drilled using a 3/8” drill bit. Deburr all
holes and install the rubber grommet (supplied) to protect the wires.
4. Position the mounting gasket onto the mounting surface so that the gasket
holes are aligned with the mounting holes.
5. Feed the wires through the wire access hole in the mounting surface.
6. Align base with mounting holes and secure with #10 sheet metal screws.

Magnetic Mount:
Place the beacon on any flat metal surface and plug the cigar cord into the
vehicles cigar lighter. The beacon is controlled with the On/Off cigar cord switch.
IMPORTANT! The use of any magnetically mounted warning beacon on
the outside of a vehicle while in motion is not recommended and is at
the sole discretion and responsibility of the user.
Scan-Lock™
Unscrew and remove the lens from the base. With the beacon active, to cycle
forward through the patterns short the two solder pads (shown below) for less
than 1 second. More than a second causes the beacon to cycle backwards
through the patterns. To reset to the factory default pattern turn off the beacon,
and with the solder pads shorted out, activate the beacon.
IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installation technician to
make sure that the installation and operation of this product will not
interfere with or compromise the operation or efficiency of any vehicle
equipment! Before returning the vehicle to active service, visually
confirm the proper operation of this product, as well as all vehicle
components/equipment.
