Read all instructions and warnings before installing and using.
INSTALLER: This manual must be delivered to the end user of this equipment.
Introduction
The HB Series LED light represents the latest in state-of-the-art LED warning technology. The latest in
MOSFET technology and advanced design provide efcient operation, superior performance, reliability
and long life. The use of microprocessor control allows the HB Series to offer more light pattern options
and versatility than any other remote system available. The user may select Single, Double, Triple, Quad,
Variable Flash, Double-Double or Triple Flash Patterns.
Standard Features
The HB Series HIDE-A-BLAST LED light is available in a single unit package complete with
installation instructions. Multiple HB Series LED Lights can be connected together and operated
from the same control switch. All HB Series LED Lights have the following features:
12 OR 24 VDC OPERATION
REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTED
MULTIPLE USER SELECTABLE FLASH PATTERNS
See Flash Pattern Selection, page 6.
Note: A user supplied fuse must be installed in series with the red wire. Install the fuse near the
power source. The fuse should be sized to the nearest standard size fuse that is approximately
125% of the combined total current of all HB Series LED Lights installed on the circuit. As
an example, two HB Series LED Lights should be fused at 3A for 12VDC operation, 1A for 24V
operation.

WARNING!
The use of this or any warning device does not insure that all drivers can or will observe or react
to an emergency 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 trac,
responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around trac lanes.
The eectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The
vehicle operator should insure daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the
vehicle operator should insure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle
components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions.
This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility
to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check
all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations.
Public Safety Equipment, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this
warning device.
Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of
the emergency vehicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle
is under psychological and physiological stress caused by the emergency situation. The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the output performance of
the system, B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that one can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle
damage, including re. Do not touch the strobe light tubes, the strobe light head assemblies or
the strobe power supply while the system is in operation. Wait 10 minutes after turning o the
power from system before touching any internal componentry.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
AND THE PUBLIC.
