Note
Operating the vehicle without the outer lens installed on the product may result in damage that will NOT be covered under warranty.
Important! Disable power before wiring up the beacon.
Wiring:
The wiring for this configuration is as shown in Figure 3 below. All wiring should
be a minimum of 18AWG. The positive line must have a 5 amp fuse, as shown.
A switch may be used to control the on/off function.
Wire functions are as follows:
Black Wire:
Ground. Connect to either the battery negative terminal or
a suitable chassis point.
Red Wire:
Power. Switch to +12/24V to operate the flasher. Must
be powered through the fuse, located as close to the bat-
tery terminal as possible.
Yellow Wire:
Flash pattern set. Apply +12/24V momentarily
(< 1 sec) to cycle through the available flash patterns (see
table). Holding power on this wire for > 1 sec will select
the previous pattern.
Blue Wire:
Sync wire. Connect to other blue sync wires of other
7160 beacons to allow synchronizing of flash patterns
(see notes). Connecting the sync wires together does not
alter the flash patterns of any of the beacons – it only con-
trols the relative timing of the flash patterns (see notes).
This wire may also be connected to other compatible
ECCO synchronizing products. If unused, leave uncon-
nected and insulated.
Orange Wire:
When connected to positive supply, the light output is
dimmed by 50%.

Notes on Synchronizing and Phase:
Phases A and B for each style of flash pattern in the table denote the relative timing between beacons connected in a synchronizing installation. To operate
simultaneously, each beacon must be set to the same phase (A + A or B + B); to operate alternately, beacons must be set to have the opposite phase (A + B
or B + A).
To simplify the set-up of a synchronized installation, the following process is recommended:
1.
Determine the desired style of flash pattern for each beacon and set each unit individually (without the BLUE wires connected together) to avoid confu-
sion. It is also strongly recommended that the same style of flash pattern be used on all units to produce the most effective warning pattern.
2.
Connect the BLUE (SYNC) wires together and check that the units are flashing in a synchronized manner as expected. If a pattern on one module
appears to be wrong, the YELLOW (PATTERN SET) wire can be used to cycle forward or backward on that individual beacon until the correct pattern is
selected. Note: This will only change the pattern in the one beacon and will not affect the other units connected to the BLUE (SYNC) wire.
3.
Synchronizing is not possible with magnet and vacuum mount beacons.

Flash Patterns
The 7160 series beacon can be configured to flash the following patterns
(in the order below) by momentarily applying power to the yellow wire as
described in the wiring section. The beacon must be powered through the black
and red wires to allow pattern selection.
