Permanently Mounting The Beacon - Federal Signal Spire 200 Instrucciones De Instalación Y Mantenimiento

5. Connect the black (–) wire from the beacon to a known good
vehicle ground as close to the beacon as practical.
6. The black wire is ground and must be connected to a
suitable chassis ground if it cannot be taken directly to the
negative terminal of the battery.
7. The green wire has a dual function: It is the runner wire that
synchronizes FSLink-Equipped products, and it serves as the
function/pattern programming wire.
8. The red wire powers the beacon in Mode 1 when connected
to a fused, positive voltage.
9. The white wire powers the beacon in Mode 2 when
connected to a fused, positive voltage.
NOTE: If Mode 1 is active when Mode 2 is powered up, Mode 2
overrides Mode 1.
10. The brown wire places the beacon (without automatic low
power) into low-power mode when the wire is connected to
a fused, positive voltage and either mode is activated. For a
beacon equipped with the automatic low-power feature, the
brown wire prevents the beacon from entering low power
when the beacon is connected to positive voltage.

Permanently Mounting the Beacon

Selecting a flash pattern is optional and should be completed
during the installation. For more information, see the flash
pattern descriptions in the table on page 18.

There are two sets of evenly spaced holes, 120° apart on
the bottom of the beacon itself. Holes for the #8 self-tapping
screws are on a 2.75-inch diameter (where the lines intersect
the inner circle in Figure 3). The holes for the #10 self-
tapping screws are on a 4-inch diameter (where the lines
