For flange mounting you may choose from 3 types of flange. A 2.9” or
3.5” flat flange (in kit# TADAPTB) or a raised flush mount flange (kit#
TFLANGEC or TFLANGEB). For grommet mounting you may choose
from 2 styles. A 2” grommet that the lighthead fits directly into
(TGROM2) or use the plastic adapter included in kit# TADAPTB to
adapt the lighthead to fit a customer supplied 2.5” grommet.
Note: This product draws significantly less current than a
standard incandescent automotive bulb. If your flasher
does not operate properly, it may be necessary to replace
your existing flasher module with a Whelen 3TERM flasher.
All customer supplied wires must be sized to supply at
least 125% of the maximum operating current and be sized
at the battery to carry the load.
Flange Mount:
1.
Depending on which flange you choose, position the flange (or the
mounting gasket if mounting the flush flange) against the
proposed mounting surface at the desired location. Make sure the
assembly will not interfere with existing equipment and be aware
of any items on the opposite side of the mounting surface.
2.
Using a scribe or similar tool, mark off the mounting holes and the
1” wire access hole onto the mounting surface.
3.
Using a drill bit sized for the mounting screw and the thickness of
the mounting surface, drill 3 mounting holes (2 for flush flange).
4.
Drill the 1” diameter wire access hole in the area marked. Be sure
to install a grommet (customer supplied) into this hole.
5.
Extend the lighthead wires (Minimum wire size / 18 AWG) through
the wire passage hole and to their designations (see wiring
diagram). Fuse the +12VDC connections at 3 Amps and test
lighthead before securing to vehicle.
6.
For the 2 flat flange mounts, first mount the flange onto the LED
assembly using the lens screws from the lighthead as shown and
then mount the entire unit to the vehicle using the supplied
mounting hardware. For the flush flange mount, mount as shown
in the diagram (the mounting screws secure the unit).
Grommet Mount:
Make sure the assembly will not interfere with existing equipment and
be aware of any items on the opposite side of the mounting surface.
1.
Using a scribe or similar tool, mark off the hole size of the
grommet onto the desired mounting location. This will be either a
2-5/16” hole for the Whelen 2” grommet or the size indicated in the
instructions included with the customer supplied 2.5” grommet.
2.
Now cut the mounting hole out and deburr it.
3.
Insert the lighthead into the grommet (if using the large grommet,
first attach the lighthead to the adapter with the lighthead lens
screws as shown) then snap the grommet into the mounting hole.
4.
Extend the lighthead wires (minimum wire size / 18 AWG), through
the wire passage hole and to their designations (see wiring
diagram). Fuse the +12VDC connections at 3 Amps and test the
lighthead before securing it to the vehicle.
