The use of this or any warning device does not ensure 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.

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 fire. 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.
To be an effective warning device, an emergency warning system produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed
at close range. Do not stare directly into the light at close range or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
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 46STPKG is designed for mounting to the exterior of a vehicle. It consists of three lightheads stacked in a vertical arrangement in a bezel. On the
top is a brake/tail module. The middle is a turn arrow and the bottom is a reverse light. Packaged as a pair, be sure that the turn arrow is pointing
in the correct direction before mounting. This product is designed for operation on 12 Vdc and is intended to be mounted on the rear of a vehicle.
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
For maximum coverage and effectiveness, each respective light assembly must be mounted in the orientation shown in Figure 1 (page 3). Make
certain that the drain hole in each bezel casting is orientated on the bottom prior to mounting.
Before proceeding with the installation, determine the approximate location of the light assembly and plan all cable/wire routing.
1. See Figure 1. Position the Triple Stack warning light assembly on the desired mounting surface. Ensure that the unit is level side to side.
Using the Triple Stack warning light assembly as a guide and the dimensions in Figure 1, scribe the four mounting hole locations and a wire routing
hole location on the mounting surface.
When drilling holes, check the area into which you are drilling to be sure you do not damage vehicle components. All drilled holes should be deburred and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wire routings going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or convolute/split
loom tubing.
2. Drill four 9/64" (0.140") mounting holes and an appropriate sized wire routing hole at the previously scribed locations. The wire routing
hole should be large enough to accommodate all necessary user supplied wiring, connectors, and grommets.
3. The Triple Stack has wires that exit out the back of the unit for making electrical connections.
4. Complete the electrical connections for each respective Triple Stack light as described in “Electrical Connections.”
5. See Figure 1. 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.
