This beacon must be mounted in a normal, ‘dome-up’ position.
CAUTION: Permanent mounting of this product will require drilling. It
is absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle
components could be damaged by this process. Check both sides of
the mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely, select a
different mounting location.
Permanent Surface Mount:
1. Use the base as a template and mark the three mounting holes off onto
the mounting surface. Remove the base, and in the center between the
three mounting holes, mark the location of the wire passage hole.
2. Drill the mounting holes into the mounting
surface with a #16 drill bit. Drill the wire
passage hole with a 3/8” drill bit. Remove
any burrs from the wire passage hole and
install a rubber grommet (user supplied)
into the wire hole to protect the wires.
3. The base seal goes between the beacon
base and the mounting surface.
4. Feed the wires through the base seal and
then through the wire passage hole.
Place the base on the mounting surface
and align the beacon mounting holes with
the mounting holes drilled in step 2.
Secure the beacon firmly to the mounting
surface using the supplied #10 mounting
screws.
This beacon may be mounted using “J”
hooks. Be sure to use the correct “J”
hook mounting holes as shown.
Wiring:
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!
Temporary Mount (Optional):
WARNING: The use of any magnetically mounted warning device on
the outside of a vehicle in motion is not recommended and is at the
sole risk and responsibility of the user.
Magnetic/suction: Thoroughly
clean the proposed mounting
surface. For suction cup mounting,
wipe the suction cup clean, place
the beacon onto its mounting
surface and apply gentle pressure
to ensure a good seal has been achieved. The Magnetic/Suction Cups
mount the same way but are best suited to a flat, steel surface. Magnetic:
Place the beacon onto the mounting surface and plug it into the vehicle
cigar lighter. Temporary mount models do not offer Low Power or SYNC.
Stud Mount / optional:
1. Remove the base gasket (if present) from the base and discard.
2. Route the wires through the hole in the center of the bracket. If desired,
a slot for an alternate wire path is provided in the base.
3. Secure the Stud Bracket onto the base using the hardware provided.
Drill wire passage and mounting holes using the information shown.
If alternate wire path is used, drill a.375 DIA wire passage hole.
Install a 3/8” grommet (user supplied) into this hole.
1” N.P.T. Pipe Mount / optional:
1. Remove the base gasket (if present) from the
base and discard.
2. Feed beacon wires through pipe. Connect as shown in “Wiring”.
3. Screw the beacon onto the pipe, being careful not to pinch or strain the
wires. Hand tighten the unit onto the pipe.
Operation:
Low Power:
With the RED (power) wire activated, activate the VIOLET wire to put the
beacon into low power operation. Disable this wire to restore normal, high
power operation (toggle switch).
Photocell Low Power:
If this beacon is equipped with photocell Hi-Low, the beacon will
automatically step down to low power at night. This feature is optional.
Scan-Lock™:
Activate the RED wire (or WHT/ORG for cruise mode) to turn on the
beacon.
To cycle forward through patterns, activate the WHT/VIO wire for less
than 1 second and release.
To cycle backward through patterns, activate the WHT/VIO wire for
more than 1 second and release.
To choose a pattern, allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The beacon
will now display this pattern when active.
To reset to the factory default pattern, turn off power, activate the WHT/
VIO wire, then turn power back on.
Use a normally open momentary switch to control Scan-lock™. Cigar cord
models have a momentary switch on the plug to control Scan-Lock™ as
well as an On/Off switch.
Cruise Light:
NOTE: For the cruise option to function, the RED power wire must
not be activated.
Activate the WHT/ORG wire to turn on the cruise light. There are 4
intensity levels. Cycle through the 4 intensity levels using Scanlock™ as
you would when choosing a flash pattern (See ScanLock™).
SYNC:
NOTE: The cigar cord adaptor
is equipped with an 8 Amp fuse.
Use a replacement fuse with an
identical value.
Switch Functions:
SW1 = ON/OFF
SW2 = Scan-Lock™ / Momentary
