INSTALLATION
1. First, install the Q450 Strobe Power Supply in a protected
location using the power supply itself as a template. THE

FACE. Make sure all 3 position socket connectors are easily
accessible. The unit is mounted using the 4 mounting holes
on a 6" x 2.5" rectangle (matches exactly the Whelen UPS

sen routing inside the vehicle to prevent it from damage by

gine hot spots.
