WARNING!
Failure to install or use this product according to manufacturer's recommendations may result in property damage, serious injury, and/or death to
those you are seeking to protect!
Do not install and/or operate this safety product unless you have read and understand the safety information
contained
1. Proper installation combined with operator training in the use, care, and maintenance of emergency warning devices are essential to ensure
the safety of you and those you are seeking to protect.
2. Exercise caution when working with live electrical connections.
3. This product must be properly grounded. Inadequate grounding and/or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing,
which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
4. Proper placement and installation are vital to the performance of this warning device. Install this product so that output performance of the
system is maximized and the controls are placed within convenient reach of the operator so that s/he can operate the system without losing
eye contact with the roadway.
5. Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of an air bag. Equipment mounted or located in an air bag deployment
area may reduce the effectiveness of the air bag or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to the
vehicle owner's manual for the air bag deployment area. It is the responsibility of the user/operator to determine a suitable mounting location
ensuring the safety of all passengers inside the vehicle particularly avoiding areas of potential head impact.
6. It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure during use that all features of this product work correctly. In use, the vehicle operator
should ensure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e., open trunks or compartment doors), people,
vehicles or other obstructions.
7. The use of this or any other warning device does not ensure all drivers can or will observe or react to a warning signal. Never take the right-
of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can proceed safely before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, respond-
ing at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes.
8. This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. The user is responsible for understanding and obeying all laws regarding
warning signal devices. Therefore, the user should check all applicable city, state, and federal laws and regulations. The manufacturer as-
sumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.

Installation & Mounting:
Pipe Mount:
Carefully remove the LED beacon from packaging. Examine the unit for
transit damage. If damage is found, contact the transit company or ECCO.
Do not use damaged or broken parts. Thread into a ½" NPT (pipe) female
fitting. Do not over tighten.
1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended that terminal blocks or
soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g., 3M Scotchlock type con-
nectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop. High ambient
temperatures (e.g., under-hood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. All wiring should conform to the
minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and
similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion and loss of
conductivity.
5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
Installation and Operation Instructions

Model 6262, 6263, 6267
Flush Mount:
Locate the unit in the desired position on a flat mounting surface, and
using the base as a template, mark the two mounting hole locations.
Drill the holes using a 7/32" (0.219") drill size. Drill a third hole,
exterior to the base to serve as a wire access hole. Mount the unit
using #10 hardware.
Caution: When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure the area
is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines, vehicle upholstery, etc. that
could be damaged.
