Installation & Mounting
Magnetic Mounting:
!
As with any magnetically-mounted warning device, its use on the exterior of a moving vehicle is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the user.
WARNING!

This product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent eye damage, DO NOT stare ino light beam at close range.
The magnetic based beacon provides a secure, temporary installation. The beacon should be placed in the center of the roof where the least amount of curvature occurs. Check the magnet for debris before installation. Any foreign matter can reduce holding power and scratch the vehicle. The roof surface should be dry and have a dull, not glossy finish. A glossy, highly waxed surface will reduce the magnet's holding power. When placed, the beacon should adhere firmly. The user should not attempt to drive with the beacon in place should the unit slide or move easily.
Permanent Mounting:
The permanent mount beacon provides a secure, permanent installation. Use the supplied foam gasket and screws to mount the beacon in the desired location. Wire routing should be taken into consideration when choosing a mounting location.
Pipe Mounting (optional):
The beacon base will accept a standard 1" NPT pipe. Hand tighten the beacon base on the pipe thread until the pipe bottoms out inside the unit.
Wiring Instructions
Magnetic Mounting:
The magnetic mount beacon is equipped with a light plug with rocker switch, that plugs into a 12 Volt DC cigarette lighter outlet; rotate and push with reasonable moderate force to insure the best possible connection.

Synchronization (Permanent Mount Only):
To sync two beacons, configure both beacons to display the same Phase 1 pattern. With the power off, connect the YELLOW wires from each beacon together. When the beacons are activated, their patterns will be synchronized.
To configure the two lightheads to alternate their patterns, advance the pattern of either beacon to the Phase 2 mode of the current pattern. Do not SYNC more than 8 beacons!
Setting the Flash Pattern:
Magnetic Base Version:
Depress the rocker switch on the lighter plug:
- Less than 1 second for the NEXT pattern
- 1 to 3 seconds for the PREVIOUS pattern
- 3 to 5 seconds for the DEFAULT pattern
- Greater than 5 seconds to TURN OFF the beacon
Permanent Mount Version:
Connect blue wire to black wire (chassis ground):
- Less than 1 second for the NEXT pattern
- 1 to 3 seconds for the PREVIOUS pattern
- 3 to 5 seconds for the DEFAULT pattern
