Installation & Mounting
Magnetic Mounting:
WARNING!
As with any magnetially-mounted warning device, its use on the exterior of a moving vehicle is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the user.
This magnetic mount product provides a secure, temporary installation in most circumstances and is recommended for stationary use only.
WARNING!
T his device, when magnetically mounted, is not intended for use on a moving vehicle.
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. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN - BASE IS PLASTIC.
