IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions
before installing your new warning light.

Mounting Instructions

If you are installing a vacuum-magnet version (255TCLV, 255TSLV, 255HTCLV, or
255HTSLV), please skip to the Pattern Programming section on the next page.
1. Your new warning light comes complete with one foam mounting
gasket, one wire grommet, two wire splicing terminals, three mounting
screws, three lock washers, and three hex nuts.
2. These warning lights come equipped with a combination base, allowing the light to be mounted on
either a 1" NPT conduit pipe or permanently mounted. For the permanent mount, proceed to Step 3.
For NPT pipe, mount the light using the threaded entrance hole in the base of the light, and then skip
to the Wiring Instructions on the following page.
3. Before installing this light onto a flat surface, it is recommended that you seal up the pipe mount hole
with a small amount of RTV. This will help prevent water damage.
4. Using the base as a template, mark three holes (on a 2.975" radius) on the mounting surface. Take
care to ensure that the base does not move while you are marking each of the three holes.
5. Remove the base and drill a 7/32" hole in the marked spots.
CAUTION: Take care not to drill through the headliner of the vehicle below.
6. If your wires will not be routed through the mounting surface skip to Step 8. If you are routing
your wires through the mounting surface, then remove the headliner from the inside of the vehicle (if
applicable), and drill a 3/8" hole in the center to route the wires through.
7. Insert the enclosed rubber wire grommet into the center hole. Place the light on the surface of the
vehicle, and route the wires through the grommet.
8. Align the outer holes of the base with the holes in the mounting surface, install the screws and nuts,
and tighten until snug.

Wiring Instructions

All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These lights are polarity
protected only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires connected to the positive
terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for their rated load. Testing
the light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on the
light.
1. The black wire is the ground lead and should be connected to a good chassis
ground.
2. Connect the red wire to the positive side of your power source (+12-24VDC)
through a switch and a 5 Amp fuse. Be sure to check your light for proper
voltage.
