LED Warning Lights
Installing DIN-Mounted Warning Light
DIN-mounted models use a DIN 14 620-AR mounting/connection installation. Plan all wire routing before
installing the warning light. If an installer-supplied switch is used, it must have a current capacity of at least 10
amperes. An installer-supplied fuse and fuse holder with a current capacity of at least 5 amperes are required.
To install the DIN-mounted light on the vehicle:
1. Loosen the wing nut on the base of the light assembly.
2. Slide the light assembly onto the DIN connector. Ensure that the connector is seated in the base of the light.
3. Finger-tighten the wing nut until the base is snug on the DIN connector.
4. Install a fuse holder (installer-supplied) in the red (positive) lead of the light and an 5-ampere (minimum)
fuse in the fuse holder.

Testing the Installation

After the installation, test the light to ensure that it is operating properly. Also test all vehicle functions,
including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle lighting systems to ensure proper operation.
Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety functions
or circuits. Do not test the light system of the vehicle while driving. Operating the vehicle warning systems
may pose a hazard to the operator and other drivers if the systems do not function as expected. Test the
vehicle only in a controlled environment. After testing is complete, provide a copy of these instructions to the
instructional staff and all operating personnel.
Maintaining and Servicing the Warning Light
Establishing a regular maintenance schedule for the warning light extends the life of the light and ensures
safety. Periodically check that the light operates properly and that all mounting hardware is securely fastened
to the vehicle. Also, inspect the dome for cracks, crazing (hairline cracks), discoloration, and other defects.
Cleaning the Dome
Dirt on the plastic dome reduces the effectiveness of the warning light. Periodic cleaning not only
maintains the effectiveness of the warning light, but prolongs the life of the dome.
LIGHT HAZARD—To be an effective warning device, an emergency warning
system produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when
viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into the lights at a close range or
permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
CRAZING/CLEANING SOLUTIONS—The use of cleaning solutions, such as
strong detergents, solvents, and petroleum products, can cause crazing
(hairline cracks) of the dome. To clean the dome, use a soft cloth and a
solution of water and a mild detergent. Failure to follow this warning can
damage them, reducing the effectiveness of the lighting system, which may
result in injury or death.
CRAZING/CHEMICALS—A crazed, cracked, or faded dome reduces the light
output and the effectiveness of the lighting system. A dome showing this type
of aging must be replaced. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or
death.
