INSTALLER: This manual must be delivered to the end

user of this equipment.

This Product contains high intensity LED
devices. To prevent eye damage, DO NOT
stare into light beam at close range.

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 intersec-

tion, driving against trafc, responding at a high rate of speed,
or walking on or around trafc lanes.

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 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.

Introduction:

The TORUSTM-EX LED modules are weatherproof LED based warning
light modules that contain state-of-the-art high intensity LEDs. These
products provide multiple operation modes including a steady-burn
mode. These products may be adapted to a variety of exterior applica-

tions such as motorcycle applications, OEM re truck, grill light and back-

deck applications.

Features and Specications:

Operating Voltage: 10-16Vdc Reverse Polarity Protection.

Flashing Current Draw: Red/Amber:

Single - .25A Avg.
Dual - .5A Avg.
Blue/White:
Single - .4A Avg.
Dual - .8A Avg.

Steady Burn Current Draw: Red/Amber:
Single - .5A Avg.
Dual - 1.0A Avg.
Blue/White:
Single - .8A Avg.
Dual - 1.6A Avg.

Available colors - Red, Amber, White or Blue or any combination for dual
modules.
Available congurations - 3 or 6 LED modules, Black or Chrome bezels.
Directional, wide, hybrid (combination of directional and wide individual
optics) and vertical optics.

Options:

The TORUS-EX is available in two basic models:

6-LED-A unit with 6 LEDs and TORUS units. The 6 LEDs are oper-

ated in two sets of three LEDs. This allows dual color units as well

as the abililty to wig-wag the ash patterns. One side can be steady
burned while the other side will ash as well. Directional, wide, hybrid

and vertical hybrid optics are available. An option is available to
allow each side to be controlled independently. In this option, the
6-LED unit is essentially two 3-LED units combined in a single hous­ing. Review the instructions for the 3-LED module to wire these units.
3-LED The 3 LED model will be a single color and is available in di-

rectional, wide, hybrid or vertical hybrid optics. Multiple ash patterns

are available, along with the ability of the units to communicate with
other 3 LED model units.
