Installation:
Note: When routing the wires, it is important to choose a
path that will keep the wires away from excessive heat or
any vehicle equipment that could compromise the integrity
of the wires (ex. trunk lids, door jams, etc.).
WARNING! When the Traffic Advisor™ is mounted to the
rear of the vehicle, the cable exit must be on the passenger
side. If not, the flash pattern sequence you choose on the
control head will be incorrect. For example a left flashing
pattern will flash right.
1. Position the unit in its proposed mounting location to ensure that it
fits properly. Draw a pencil line on the mounting surface using the
top and bottom of the extrusion as a guide.
2. Two 1/4” holes are required to mount this unit. These holes may
be located anywhere along the horizontal centerline of the unit, but
must be centered between the upper and lower lines made in step
1. Tip! It’s a good idea to locate the mounting holes as far apart as
possible.
3. Using a 1/4” drill bit, drill a hole in each of the areas scribed in the
previous step.
4. Remove the end cap without the cable and insert the two carriage
bolts (included) into the extrusion as shown. Position these bolts
so they may pass through the mounting holes drilled in the
previous step.
5. With the unit in position, place a gasket, flat washer and elastic
stop nut onto each bolt and tighten firmly.
Wiring:
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the
positive terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least
