ECCO 21 Series Lightbars are versatile and powerful warning devices that offer numerous lighting module and length options. The 21
Series is suitable for many vehicle applications and features a durable aluminum chassis, polycarbonate lenses and a sleek, low profile
design. These lightbars can either be mounted permanently to the vehicle or using an optional, semi-permanent roof mounting kit. There
are two types of 21 Series lightbar - IF (independent flashing) and CC (centrally controlled). IF (Independent Flashing) indicates the
lightbars modules have individual electronic circuits that control their operation, each module, a group or a pair of modules can be controlled
independently. CC (Centrally Controlled) indicates the lightbar's modules are controlled by a centralized electronic driver board which
provides simpler and greater programming flexibility of all lightbar functionality.
Unpacking and Pre-Installation:
Carefully remove the lightbar 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 the transit company or ECCO. Do not use damaged or broken parts.
Ensure the lightbar voltage is compatible with the planned installation.
IMPORTANT!
Read all instructions before installing and using. Installer: This manual must be
delivered to the end user. This manual assumes installation by a suitably qualified Automotive Technician.
