Introduction
The HB Series LED light represents the latest in state-of-the-art LED warning technology. The latest in
MOSFET technology and advanced design provide efcient operation, superior performance, reliability
and long life. The use of microprocessor control allows the HB Series to offer more light pattern options
and versatility than any other remote system available. The user may select Single, Double, Triple, Quad,
Variable Flash, Double-Double or Triple Flash Patterns.
Standard Features
The HB Series HIDE-A-BLAST LED light is available in a single unit package complete with
installation instructions. Multiple HB Series LED Lights can be connected together and operated
from the same control switch. All HB Series LED Lights have the following features:
12 OR 24 VDC OPERATION
REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTED
MULTIPLE USER SELECTABLE FLASH PATTERNS
See Flash Pattern Selection, page 6.
Note: A user supplied fuse must be installed in series with the red wire. Install the fuse near the
power source. The fuse should be sized to the nearest standard size fuse that is approximately
125% of the combined total current of all HB Series LED Lights installed on the circuit. As
an example, two HB Series LED Lights should be fused at 3A for 12VDC operation, 1A for 24V
operation.

WARNING!
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 trafc, responding at a high rate of speed, or
walking on or around trafc 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. Any electronic device may create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. After
installation of any electronic device operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of
interference. Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding
circuit with radio communication equipment. All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufcient strength to withstand the forces applied to the
device. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should be mounted. This device
should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones specied by the vehicle manufacturer, if any.
Any device mounted in the deployment area of an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air
bag and may damage or dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its mounting hardware and
electrical supply wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Mounting the unit inside
the vehicle by a method other than permanent installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged
during swerving, sudden braking or collision. Failure to follow instructions can result in personal injury. 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 and Pre-installation
Remove the product from the box and examine the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the
carrier immediately. Inspect the contents to be certain that the following items are included:
A. 1 HB6PAK Series LED Light with 15 ft. Cable
B. 1 Installation Manual

Installation and Mounting
1. First, carefully plan the installation so that the HB Series LED Lights will not interfere with the mounting or
operation of the vehicle's existing light xtures. Using a 1 inch hole saw, cut a hole in the vehicle's light xture
in a location that will allow the HB Series LED light to be mounted in such a way that it will provide maximum
light inside the reector (see Figure B). Use a deburring tool to remove burrs and to chamfer the edge of the
hole before inserting the HB6PAK. Proper installation will provide an excellent seal and prevent water from
entering the light xture.
FIGURE A
Wiring
1. Install the LED light heads in the desired locations.
2. Route the cables between the light heads and the control switch panel. Make sure the cable is secure along
the chosen routing inside the vehicle to prevent damage by chang or binding. Be sure to keep the cables away
from engine hot spots.
3. Secure the cables and the HB Series asher module using plastic wire ties.
!
WARNING!
The HB Series LED Light components are water resistant but NOT waterproof and should
be located in an area protected from the weather and water.
