Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness ofthe air bag, orbecome a projectilethat could cause seriouspersonal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer assumesfull responsibility to determine proper mountinglocation, based on providing ultimate safetyto all passengersinside the vehicle.

If this product uses a remote device to activate or control this product, make sure that this control is located in an area that allows both the vehicle and the control to be operated safely in anydriving condition.

Mounting (Standard Bracket)

1. Place the bracket against the mounting surface and mark the two mounting hole locations.

2. Drill two mounting holes sized for a #8 sheet metal screw. A wire passage hole may also be needed. De-burr this hole and installa grommet toprotect the wires.

NOTE:

If VHB tape (provided) is used, remove the protective backing from this tape and press it firmlyonto the bottom of the bracketas shown. Cleanthe mountingsurface with a 50/50mix of isopropyl alcoholand water and drythoroughly before mounting thebracket onto themounting surface.

3. Route thewires through thehole in thebracket and throughthe wirepassage hole. Securethe ION™ tothe bracket

using the hardwareprovided. Wire asoutlined below.

Mounting (Gripper Bracket)

1. Apply the protective pads to the bracket in the location shown (side view). Secure the ION™ to the bracket in

the same fashion as outlined for the standard bracket.

2. Position the bracket onto the proposed mounting surface as shown. Apply a drop of Loctite 222 to the threads

of the #6 x ½" PPHMS provided.

3. Thread these screws into the underside of the bracket as shown and secure the bracket to the mounting

surface.

Mounting (Bail Bracket)

1. Secure the bail bracket to the desired surface using the hardware provided. Mount the ION onto the shield

bracket and install this assembly onto the bail bracket as shown.

pattern

Continue to applyvoltage for 5seconds.

Lightheads configured to display the Phase 1 mode of a pattern will flash simultaneously. Any lightheads configured to displaythe Phase 2mode will alternatewith any Phase1 lightheads withthe same pattern.

Sync (GREY) -

With the power off, connect the GREY wires from each lighthead together. When the lightheads are activated, their patterns will be synchronized. To configure the two lightheads to alternate their patterns, advance the pattern of either lighthead to the Phase 2 mode of the current pattern. The same concept applies to Phases3 & 4.

To understandhow to usethe sync featurewith morethan two lightheads,the principles willbe applied toa sample system consisting of 4 lightheads with 2 mounted on the rear, driver-side and 2 mounted on the rear, passenger-side. With all the wiring complete, turn on all 4 lightheads. As shipped from factory, the lightheads willall display SignalAlert™75 - Phase1. To configureone side toalternate with theother side, change the patternfor either thepassenger or driverside to Phase2 mode forthat pattern.

IMPORTANT!

(such as the CS240S or UPS64LXA) by wiring their GREY wires together. When connected, LED lightheads in Phase 1 of a pattern will flash with strobe lightheads connected to the GREEN wire outputs. LED lightheads set to Phase 2 of a pattern will with strobe lightheads connected to theWHITE wire outputs.GREEN wire outputsalways alternate withWHITE wire outputs.

Split Lighthead Operation:

IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installation technician to make sure that the installation and operation of this product will not interfere or compromise the operation or efficiency of any vehicle equipment!

Before returningthe vehicle to activeservice, visually confirm theproper operation of this product, as well asall vehicle componentsand/or equipment.
