Installation And Mounting - Code 3 MICMAG Instrucciones De Montaje

Unpacking and Pre-Installation:
Prior to installation and use, please read the safety information shown above.
Sirens are an integral part of an effective audio/visual emergency warning system. However, sirens are only short range secondary
warning devices. The use of a siren does not insure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency warning signal,
particularly at long distances or when either vehicle is traveling at a high rate of speed. Sirens should only be used in a combination
with effective warning lights and never relied upon as a sole warning signal. Never take the right of way for granted. It is the vehicle operator's
responsibility to be sure they can proceed safely before entering an intersection driving against traffic, or responding at a high rate of speed.
The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Read and follow the manufacturer's
instructions before installing this device. The vehicle operator should check the equipment daily to insure that all features of the device
operate correctly.
To be effective, sirens must produce high sound levels that potentially can inflict hearing damage. Installers should be warned to wear hearing
protection, clear bystanders from the area and not to operate the siren indoors during testing. Vehicle operators and occupants should assess
their exposure to siren noise and determine what steps, such as consultation with professionals or use of hearing protection should be
implemented to protect their hearing.
This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user's responsibility to understand and obey all laws regarding
emergency warning devices. The user should check all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations. Code 3, Inc., assumes no
liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.
Proper installation is vital to the performance of the siren and the safe operation of the emergency vehicle. It is important to recognize that
the operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and physiological stress caused by the emergency situation. The siren system
should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the acoustical performance of the system, B) Limit as much as practical the noise
level in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, C) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he can operate the
system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical
connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe
vehicle damage, including fire.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL
TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.

Installation and Mounting:

IMPORTANT! This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its continued operation
should any other electrical accessory fail.
CAUTION!
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure that the area is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines, vehicle upholstery, etc. that
could be damaged.
Step 1. Find a suitable location to mount the magnetic base that allows the microphone, when hung up, to be easily accessible and free
of obstruction. This location must be at a safe distance from any and all electronic devices adversely affected by magnets. Using a rule of
thumb: if you can fit a common, full-sized mic between this Mag Mic Mount and the other object, the object is generally at a safe distance.
If Using Existing Holes: Confirm the existing holes make for a suitable location (see Figure 1). Reference the included yellow hole pattern
template. Use the appropriate drill bit (refer to the included chart).
If Drilling New Holes: Confirm the magnetic base will be installed in a suitable location (see Figure 1). Reference the included yellow hole
pattern template. Use the appropriate drill bit (refer to the included chart).
Securing the Magnetic Base:
Step 2. Fasten the mag base securely to the mounting location using the appropriate screws.
Important!
Position metal magnet cover between magnet and plastic cover during final assembly.
Only use the included yellow hole pattern template to mark holes prior to drilling. Be certain to keep the mag base away from
the mounting location until any metal shavings or other debris have been cleaned up and removed. Shavings can be difficult to
remove from the base piece and can potentially injure the operator.
Only use the mounting holes in the base of the magnet mount. Do not attempt to drill through the magnet itself.
Drill Bit Size Chart
Pilot Hole for Sheet Metal Screws:
