3 BOLT FIXING VERSION
TO ENSURE A WEATHERPROOF INSTALLATION THE BEACON MUST BE FITTED WITH THE SUPPLIED
GASKET AND MOUNTED ON A FLAT PANEL OR SURFACE FORMING PART OF A WEATHERPROOF
ENCLOSURE.
Drill the panel or surface to accept the wires and the 3 M6 screws (see figure 1).
Connect the 2 wires to an appropriate power source ensuring that the RED wire is connected to the POSITIVE
terminal of the supply via a suitable 3A fuse.
Fit the fibre washers under the screw heads to prevent water ingress and fix using the shakeproof washers and nuts.
The rubber grommet supplied may be used to protect the wires when the beacon is panel mounted. The grommet is
designed to fit a hole 6mm dia with panel thickness of 1.5-2mm.
SINGLE BOLT FIXING VERSION
TO ENSURE A WEATHERPROOF INSTALLATION THE BEACON MUST BE FITTED WITH THE SUPPLIED
GASKET AND MOUNTED ON A FLAT PANEL OR SURFACE.
Drill the panel or surface to accept the M12 threaded bolt.
Fit the beacon in the required position, first passing the wires and bolt through the pre-drilled hole. Secure using the
M12 half nut and washer supplied.
Connect the 2 wires to an appropriate power source ensuring that the RED wire is connected to the POSITIVE
terminal of the supply via a suitable 3A fuse.
MAGNETIC BASE VERSION
THE BEACON MUST BE FITTED ON A FLAT PART OF A STEEL ROOF OR PANEL.
Check that the vehicle battery voltage is compatible with the beacon to be fitted. The connection to the beacon must
be fitted with a suitable 3A fuse.
Wipe the roof of the vehicle where the beacon is to be placed to remove any debris or grease, and ensure that the
foam gasket is clean, dry and in good condition. Place the beacon in the required position and connect to the vehicle
battery supply using the cigar plug.
Note: In appreciation of the Consumer Protection Act 1987, covering product liability, and because of the nature and
use of magnetic beacons, ECCO are obliged to make the following maximum speed recommendation for vehicles
fitted with magnetic beacons:
WE CAN ONLY RECOMMEND THE FITTING OF A ECCO MAGNETIC BEACON IF THE VEHICLE TO WHICH IT
IS FITTED DOES NOT EXCEED A SPEED OF 70 M.P.H. FOR SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 70 M.P.H., WE
RECOMMEND THE USE OF A SUITABLE RESTRAINING DEVICE.
