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. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before
!
WARNING!
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.
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.

Introduction:
The Exterior LED modules are weatherproof LED based warning light modules that contain
state-of-the-art high intensity LEDs. These products provide eight different operation modes
including a steady-burn mode. These products may be adapted to a variety of exterior
applications such as motorcycle applications, OEM fire truck, grill light and back-deck
applications. The exterior LED is available in either a +12V or a +24V version.

Operating Voltage: 10-16Vdc (+12V version), 22-30Vdc (+24V version), Reverse
Polarity Protection. 50% Duty Cycle unless otherwise stated.
Flash Rate: 70 fpm minimum
Flash Modes (Flashing version only):
1. Cycle-Flash: Cycles through Triple, Quad, Double, and Fast
Single modes at approximately 109 fpm.
2. Triple-Flash: Three consecutive pulses per flash at
approxmately 83 fpm.
3. Quad-Flash: Four consecutive pulses per flash at
approximately 77 fpm.
4. Double-Flash: Two consecutive pulses per flash at

Options:
The LED-EX is available in five basic models:
· LXEX1F- A single head unit. The housing is available in black or brushed
aluminum finish. The sealed cover lens is available in clear or colored to
match the LED light output.
· LXEX2F- A dual head (over under) unit. The housing is available in black or
brushed aluminum finish. The sealed cover lens is available in clear or
colored to match the LED light output. Each head is individually controlled.
· LXEX125P-A single head unit. The housing is available in highly polished
aluminum (chrome-like appearance).
· LXEX73P- A dual head (side by side) unit. The housing is available in highly
polished aluminum (chrome-like appearance). For retrofit purposes, the
mounting hole pattern matches the mounting hole pattern of a series 40 (7x3)
perimeter light.
· LXEX64P-A dual head (over under) unit. The housing is available in highly
polished aluminum (chrome-like appearance). For retrofit purposes, the
mounting hole pattern matches the mounting hole pattern of a series 60 (4x6)
perimeter light, and the periphery of the unit matches the periphery of an
OsciLaserTM lens.
In addition to the flashing models, The LED-EX1 is also available in two special function
versions:
The STT (Stop-Turn-Tail) version:
This version can be used as an Auxiliary stop-turn-tail light. When only the power (red)
and ground (black) wire are connected, the light will come on in a reduced intensity steady
burn tail-light mode. Grounding the white wire will result in a bright steady burn mode (stoplight) mode.
The steady-burning (non-flashing) version:
This version can be used as a stand-alone steady-burning light or be flashed with an LED
flasher such as Code 3 PSELED12. This model has only two wires, a power (red) wire
and a ground (black) wire.
