Pipe Mounting The Beacon; Using Magnetic Or Magnetic/Suction Mounting - Federal Signal Spire 100 Beacon Manual De Instrucciones

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Pipe Mounting the Beacon

The base was designed for the optional installation onto the end
of a threaded 1-inch NPT pipe. The supply wires are to run within
the pipe for protection.
1. Route the wires through the pipe, and connect the wires to
the beacon as described in "Wiring the Standard Beacon."
2. Screw the beacon onto the pipe. Ensure that the wires are
not pinched inside the pipe or twisted severely. Do not
overtighten; the base may split.

Using Magnetic or Magnetic/Suction Mounting

DO NOT DRIVE WITH MAGNETICALLY-MOUNTED BEACON
INSTALLED: Because vehicle roof construction and driving
conditions vary, do not drive a vehicle with a magnetically-
mounted beacon installed. The beacon could fly off the vehicle,
causing injury or damage. Repair of damage incurred because of
ignoring this warning shall be the sole responsibility of the user.
The holding power of magnetic mounting systems depends
on surface finish, surface flatness, and thickness of the steel
mounting surface. Therefore, to promote proper magnetic
mounting:
• Keep the mounting surface and magnets clean, dry, and free
of foreign particles that prevent good surface contact.
• Ensure that the mounting surface is flat.
• Do not use a magnet mounting system on vehicles with vinyl
tops.
• To prevent the sliding of the beacon on the mounting
surface, avoid quick acceleration and hard stops.
