WARNING

The effectiveness 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.
Code 3, 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 fi re. Wait 10 minutes after turning off the power from system before touching any internal components. Always
wear hand and eye protection when handling electrical components.
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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 79SCBZ is a self-contained, high intensity LED light designed for mounting to the exterior of a vehicle. This product is designed for operation on
12VDC.
After unpacking the light, inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit. The unit can be checked electrically by following the instructions in
the Electrical Connections section of this manual. If the unit has been damaged, do not attempt to install or operate it. File a claim immediately with
the carrier, stating the extent of damage. Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels, and tags before removing or destroying them.

INSTALLATION & MOUNTING

Make certain that the drain hole in each bezel casting is orientated on the bottom prior to mounting.

Before proceeding with installation, determine the approximate location of the light assembly and plan all cable/wire routing.

1. Position the Scene Light assembly on the desired mounting surface. Ensure that the unit is level side to side. Four mounting holes will
need to be drilled (1/4” diameter), as well as one wire routing hole (1” diameter). The center to center horizontal dimension (for the mounting
holes) is 7.250”. The vertical center to center distance is 5.250”. The wire routing hole is at the center of these holes. Scribe the four mounting
hole locations and a wire routing hole location on the mounting surface.

Before drilling holes in ANY part of a vehicle, be sure that both sides of the mounting surface are clear of parts that could be damaged; such as brake
lines, fuel lines, electrical wiring or other vital parts.

2. Drill the four mounting holes and wire routing hole.

All drilled holes should be free of burrs and sharp edges. All wire routing holes should be grommeted (user supplied) and/or sealed to avoid wire and/
or vehicle damage.

3. Complete the electrical connections for each respective Triple Stack light as described in Electrical Connections.

4. Insert the screw grommets into the mounting holes.

5. Align the mounting gasket and Triple Stack warning light assembly over the previously drilled holes. Carefully place any wire or connectors
into the recessed area in the back of the aluminum bezel. Secure the assembly in position with the provided #10 x 3/4” screws.
