CAUTION! DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THESE LEDS WHILE THEY ARE ON.
MOMENTARY BLINDNESS AND/OR EYE DAMAGE COULD RESULT!
IMPORTANT WARNING!
Installation:
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!
Note: When routing 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 wires integrity (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.
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 location.
1.
Position unit in its proposed mounting location. 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 for mounting. The 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. 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:
Extend the control wires to your switch panel and make the connections using the
wiring information below. TACTRLD1 is shown. If your system uses another control
head, refer to your control head manual for connection and operation.
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!
IMPORTANT! Before returning the vehicle to active service, visually confirm
the proper operation of this product, as well as all vehicle components/
equipment.
