64- SERIES BACK-UP ALARMS
IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions
before installing your new back-up alarm.
PLEASE AFFIX THE ENCLOSED WARNING LABEL TO
THE DASHBOARD IN FULL VIEW OF THE OPERATOR!!
Improper installation my result in serious injury, property damage, or death.
This alarm should be installed so that it only activates when the vehicle is in reverse.
Mount the alarm approximately 4 feet above the ground in the rear of the vehicle with the sound
opening outward towards the hazard zone with an unobstructed sound path towards the intended
audience.
Select a location that provides protection from adverse weather conditions. The sound opening must
be kept clear of dust, mud, or any other foreign material that may prevent the alarm from sounding
properly.
Use a minimum 18AWG wire for electrical connections and a 5A fuse at the power source, ensuring
both positive and ground connections are dependable.
If using heavier gauge wire, please obtain an appropriately sized connector.
Use a ¼"-20 screw to attach the ring terminal to a good chassis ground.
After installing, while the alarm is operating, measure the voltage both at the battery and at the alarm to
ensure that there is less than a 0.15 VDC loss between the battery and the alarm.
Ensure that the alarm that you are using is loud enough to provide ample warning in the noisiest environments
that it may be used in.
Test the alarm and inspect all wiring each time you use the vehicle to ensure that it is functioning properly. If it
is not functioning properly, do not operate the vehicle.
Do not paint or coat the alarm with anything. Doing so may reduce the effectiveness of the alarm.
CAUTION: All of our DC powered back-up alarms are polarity sensitive. All wires
connected to the positive terminal of the battery should be fused at the
battery for their rated load. Testing the alarm before this fuse is properly
installed will void the warranty on the alarm.
These alarms meet or exceed SAEJ994 MARCH 2009 specifications.
