Read all instructions and warnings before installing and using.
INSTALLER: This manual must be delivered to the end user of this equipment.
Introduction
The 87/88/89 Series Perimeter Light Heads are designed for the emergency vehicle market. The light heads are
to be connected to the Code 3® 475, 460, 235, or 440 Strobe Power Supplies (Strobe Model 87), or +12 VDC
output electromechanical or solid state flasher units (Halogen Models 88, 89), by the optional cable assemblies.
These light heads with unique faceted shape are designed for optimum lighting at all angles. The Strobe Model 87
meets and exceeds the SAE J1318 and California Title XIII output requirements for directional gaseous discharge
lamps. The Halogen Model 88 exceeds the requirements of KKK-A-1822E when used with the Transverse filament lamp assembly, S95285.
Consisting of a lens, lamp assembly, reflector assembly, optional bezel and mounting fasteners the Series 87, 88
and 89 Light Heads are easy to install. The design allows for interchangeability between virtually all 9"X7 " Series
Light Heads giving the user freedom to customize the vehicle’s lighting system.
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 traffic,
responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes.
The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring.
!
WARNING!
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 he 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 fire. 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 off the power from system before touching any internal components. Always wear hand
and eye protection when handling strobe tubes or halogen lamps. The lamps are pressurized
and if broken, could result in injury from flying glass.
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.
Unpacking And Pre-Installation
Carefully remove the light head from its protective packaging. Inspect the unit for transit damage (broken lamp
assembly, etc). Report any damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton. Verify that four #6 x 1-1/2” screws
per lighthead are included. (If the bezel option was ordered a total of eight #6 x 1-1/2" screws should be included).
The optional three wire cable comes in a 15, 20 or 25 foot length. Both ends have Amp #60619-1 sockets attached
to each wire. The cable comes with a parts bag consisting of 2 AMP #1-480303-0 Mate-N-Lock socket housings
and 1 #8 noninsulated ring terminal. Verify that these items are also included.

Lens Cleaning
1. Remove the lens by unscrewing the four mounting screws. (When equipped with a bezel it is not necessary
to remove the bezel/reflector from the vehicle).
2. Using plain water and a soft cloth, or Code 3 lens polish and a very soft paper towel or facial tissue clean
both surfaces of the lens.
3. Because plastic scratches easily, cleaning is recommended only when necessary (about every six months).
4. Do not subject the lenses to car washes that use brushes, as these will scratch the lenses.
!
If attempting to clean the reflector, use only a mild glass cleaner and a very soft cloth. Do not
attempt to use any wax type products as these will burn onto the reflector and impair
effectiveness.
