WARNING!
!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe operation
using the Vacuum Mount model is 65 mph (104 km/h), when fitted
to the center of a vehicle roof of steel construction. Higher speeds
could cause the mount to fail, resulting in the beacon flying off of the
vehicle, which could cause damage to other vehicles, and injury or
death to the passengers. The vacuum-magnet mount is not intended
as a permanent mounting for the beacon. The vacuum-magnet
mount unit must be mounted on a flat smooth magnetic surface (i.e.
no fiberglass, ribbed style roofs, etc.). Ensure that the magnet is
kept clean.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or injury from excessive heat build up.
Operator is responsible for ensuring cigarette adapter fits correctly into cigarette/auxillary outlet used.
For proper operation, verify cigarette/auxillary outlet circuit is rated to supply, a minimum of 10 amps. (See specifications
section for rated current in amperes).
Do not exceed the current rating for the cigarette lighter power outlet recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
Keep cigarette lighter adapter, and outlet, clean and free of debris.
Do not use the cigarette lighter adapter when wet.
Insert cigarette lighter adapter fully into the outlet for proper connection.
Grasp cigarette lighter adapter, NOT cord, to remove from outlet.
Remove cigarette lighter adapter completely from outlet when light is not in use.

Wiring Instructions:

Notes:
1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly
recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not
use insulation displacement connectors (e.g., 3M Scotchlock type connectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to
reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g., under-hood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity
of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of
the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar
installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect
the wiring and devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect
these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot environments or
operated close to their capacity.
Important: Disable power before wiring up the strobe head.
There are two operation modes for this strobe: double flash and
quad flash.
920-6670-00 Rev. H
Double Flash Operation:
The wiring for this configuration is as shown in Figure 3 below. All wiring
should be a minimum of 18AWG. For double flash mode, the red wire is
positive, and must have a 10 amp fuse. A switch may be used to control
the on/off function. The black (negative) wire is connected to the battery
ground.
