Introduction
The LED-Duo BeamTM uses state of the art LEDs and optics to provide a superior optical output. The rugged
design and long life capabilities make it virtually maintenance free. When properly congured, the Duo-Beam
will provide 360 degree coverage and will exceed SAE Class 1 and California Title 13 requirements.
The use of this or any warning device does not ensure that all drivers can or will observe or

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 re.
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 & Pre-installation

the cable coming out of the bottom. Examine the unit for transit damage, broken lamps, etc. Report any
damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton.
The LED Duo BeamTM is built to operate on 12 volt D.C. negative ground (earth) vehicles. If you have an
electrical system other than 12 volt D.C. negative ground (earth) contact the factory.

1. Assemble the brackets, tighten the 3/8 bolt but leave the 7/16 bolt nger tight at this time.
2. Position bracket assembly on top mirror supports, bracket A on rear support and bracket B on front sup-
port. Note: some mirror designs require reversing bracket A and B. Rotate bracket A as necessary to get
the best t. Some additional bending of brackets may be necessary in some cases to achieve a satisfactory t.
3. Attach bracket assembly to mirror supports with U-bolts, position bracket assembly as desired and tighten
U-bolts. The Duo Beam mounting bracket should be parallel to the ground.
