section for rated current in amperes).
Do not exceed the current rating for the cigarette lighter power outlet recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
Keep cigarette lighter adapter, and outlet, clean and free of debris.
Do not use the cigarette lighter adapter when wet.
Insert cigarette lighter adapter fully into the outlet for proper connection.
Grasp cigarette lighter adapter, NOT cord, to remove from outlet.

Permanent Mounting:
Select the desired location on a flat surface for the strobe beacon
to be mounted. The visibility of the flash and ease of wiring access
should be taken into consideration in the selection of the mounting
location.
1.
Using the base gasket as a template, mark the three mounting
hole locations (see Figure 1).
2.
Drill the holes using a 7/32" drill size.
3.
A fourth hole may be drilled for wire access as shown in Figure
1, or the wires may be routed through the slot in the base for
external access.
4.
Connect the power wires as shown in the wiring section (see
Figure 3).
5.
Mount the strobe with #10 hardware.
Pipe Mounting:
The 7975/7980 series base comes with 1" NPT threads for pipe
