Installation And Mounting - Code 3 12+ Pro Vantage Series Installation & Operation Instructions

Installation & Mounting
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 Code 3. Do not use damaged or broken parts. Ensure the lightbar voltage is compatible
with the planned installation.
Mounting
Before proceeding with installation, plan all wiring and cable routing.
Select the mounting location for the lightbar on a flat, smooth surface
and center the unit across the width of the vehicle. The mounting
location for the lightbar should be chosen such that the lightbar is level
and visibility to approaching traffic is optimized.
Permanent Mounting
with Adjustable Mounting Feet
1. Loosen the 5/16" nuts to allow the mounting feet to slide along the base. Place the lightbar over the center of the vehicle and slide the
mounting feet into position near the curved edges of the roof when possible.
2. Secure the feet in location on the lightbar by tightening the four nuts on each foot.
3. With the feet positioned, remove the adjustable foot cover and mark the location of the mounting hole centers on the roof of the vehicle.
Remove the lightbar and drill the mounting holes as marked. Note: The center distance between the mounting holes in an adjustable
mounting foot is 11.1" or 281.94 mm.
4. Attach the appropriate foot pad for the curvature of the roof surface per FIGURE 2. Secure the lightbar feet to the vehicle using the
supplied 1/4"-20 hardware and reattach the adjustable foot cover as shown in FIGURE 1. See the Wiring section of this manual for
further wiring instructions.
