This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed. Before beginning the installation and/or operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must read this manual completely. Important information is contained herein that could prevent serious injury or damage.

• Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics, systems and procedures.

• Failure to use specified installation parts and/or hardware will void the product warranty!

• If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling begins. Also de-burr any holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage holes.

• If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro®, clean the mounting surface with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly.

• Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.

• For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis ground must be made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE (-) battery post.

IMPORTANT AIR BAG WARNING! Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on providing ultimate safety to all passengers.

Installation / Split Bar:

IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be located a minimum of 16" from any radio antennas!

Note: When routing the wires, it is important to choose a path that will keep the wires away from excessive heat or any vehicle equipment that could compromise the integrity of the wires (ex. trunk lids, door jams, etc.)

1. Locate and install the rubber window seal (included) onto the lower, leading edge and side of the housing.

2. Using an appropriately sized Torx head screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) the three screws securing the passenger-side visor swivel bracket to the vehicle.

3. Remove the screws securing the visor clip to the vehicle. Remove and retain the clip and all hardware.

4. Locate the passenger-side mounting bracket (indicated with a “P”) and orient as shown.

5. Slide mounting bracket fingers between loosened swivel bracket and headliner. The bracket fingers should straddle the inner section of the swivel bracket when properly oriented.

6. Position the keyed opening of the mounting bracket directly under the mounting location for the visor clip removed in step 2. With the bracket in this position, remount the visor clip in its original location using the original hardware.

7. Firmly tighten any hardware loosened in this procedure.

8. Repeat this procedure for the driver-side assembly and mounting bracket (indicated with a “D”).

9. Position the lightbar as shown. Using the hardware provided, secure the lightbar to the mounting bracket.

10. When properly mounted, the rubber seal will be in full contact with the vehicle windshield and roof. This is to prevent light output from entering the passenger compartment. When this has been achieved, tighten mounting hardware firmly to maintain contact.

11. Route the lightbar cable down the vehicle A-pillar to your control head.

12. Make all wiring connections using the information in the wiring diagram.
