IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your new
strobe system. This instruction sheet applies only to the models listed.
4 CAUTION: All of our remote power supplies are polarity sensitive. They are polarity
protected only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires connected to the positive
terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for their rated load. Testing the
system before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on the light.
4 Opening or tampering with your remote power supply will void the warranty.
The remote power supply must be mounted against a smooth metal surface in a dry
location. Water damage to the power supply will also void the warranty. Typical
mounting locations of your power supply include the interior firewall, beneath the seat
of a truck, or inside a large toolbox.
Due to continuous product improvements, we must reserve the right to change any
specifications and information, contained in this manual at any time without notice. Star
Headlight & Lantern Co., Inc. makes no warranty of any kind with regard to this manual,
including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose. Star Headlight & Lantern Co., Inc. shall not be liable for errors
contained herein or for incidental or consequential damages in connection with the
furnishing, performance, or use of this manual.

Mount the pack on a smooth metal surface to allow for adequate heat dissipation. Do not
mount the pack near any external heat source, as this will retard its ability to dissipate heat
sufficiently. Mount the Pack using four bolts (not included). When mounting, make sure a
good electrical connection exists between the mounting plate and the vehicle chassis. This
will help to eliminate any RF interference.
Mounting The Pack
When mounting the power pack and accessories, please be sure to
keep any radio frequency sensitive equipment at least 20” from the
power pack, cables, and/or wires which make up your strobe system.
The pack has been designed to limit RFI emissions, but certain very
sensitive equipment may still be affected. Symptoms may include,
but are not limited to, sporadic operation and degraded performance.
Star Headlight & Lantern Co., Inc. cannot assume any responsibility
for any radio frequency induced malfunction or damage to any
radios, sirens, lightbars, or any other equipment mounted within 20”
of this strobe system. Any antennae mounted in the proximity of the
system may cause your radio to suffer the aforementioned results.
