Installation & 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.
Carefully remove the beacon and place it on a flat surface. Examine the unit for transit damage, and locate all parts. If damage is found, or parts are missing, contact
ECCO. Do not use damaged or broken parts.
!
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.
Permanent Mounting:
1. Select the desired location on a flat surface for the 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.
2. Using the base gasket as a template, mark the three mounting hole locations (see Figure 1).
3. Drill the holes using a 7/32" drill size.
4. 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.
5. Connect the power wires as shown in the wiring section (see Figure 3).
6. Mount the beacon with #10 hardware.
Pipe Mounting:
The base features female 1" NPT threads for pipe mounting the beacon.
MOUNTING
SURFACE
Temporary Mounting, Vacuum-Magnet Mount:
The Vacuum-Magnet Mount feature includes a suction cup on the bottom of the beacon, with a magnet inside of the suction cup, for a secure, temporary mount. The
beacon should be placed in the center of the roof where the least amount of curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure the mounting surface is clean and there
is no debris on the bottom of the beacon or on the roof of the vehicle, which could reduce the holding power of the suction cup and magnet. Place and remove the
beacon without sliding to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After placement, the beacon should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or moves easily,
a proper installation has not been obtained. To release the vacuum, lift the tab to release the airlock (see Figure 2). To protect the Vacuum-Magnet Mount assembly,
return beacon to the box when not in use. Do not attempt to attach the beacon to an ice-covered surface.
!
WARNING!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe operation using the Vacuum Mount model is 65 mph (104 km/h), when fitted to the center of a vehicle roof
of steel construction. Higher speeds could cause the mount to fail, resulting in the beacon flying off of the vehicle, which could cause damage to other
vehicles, and injury or death to the passengers. The vacuum-magnet mount is not intended as a permanent mounting for the beacon. The vacuum-magnet
mount unit must be mounted on a flat smooth magnetic surface (i.e. no fiberglass, ribbed style roofs, etc.). Ensure that the magnet is kept clean.
!
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or injury from excessive heat build up.
Operator is responsible for ensuring cigarette adapter fits correctly into cigarette/auxiliary outlet used.
