WARNING!
Failure to install or use this product according to manufacturers recommendations may result in property damage, serious injury, and/
or death to those you are seeking to protect!
Do not install and/or operate this safety product unless you have read and understood the safety information
contained in this manual.
1. Proper installation combined with operator training in the use, care, and maintenance of emergency warning devices are essential to
ensure the safety of emergency personnel and the public.
2. Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Exercise caution when working with live electrical
connections.
3. This product must be properly grounded. Inadequate grounding and/or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing,
which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including re.
4. Proper placement and installation is vital to the performance of this warning device. Install this product so that output performance of
the system is maximized and the controls are placed within convenient reach of the operator so that they can operate the system without
losing eye contact with the roadway.
5. It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure daily that all features of this product work correctly. In use, the vehicle operator
should ensure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e., open trunks or compartment doors),
people, vehicles or other obstructions.
6. The use of this or any other warning device does not ensure all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency warning signal.
Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is the vehicle operator’s responsibility to be sure they can proceed safely before entering an
intersection, drive against trafc, respond at a high rate of speed, or walk on or around trafc lanes.
7. This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. The user is responsible for understanding and obeying all laws
regarding emergency warning devices. Therefore, the user should check all applicable city, state, and federal laws and regulations. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.

Installation and Mounting:
Carefully remove the unit from its packaging. Examine the unit for
transit damage. If damage is found, return the product to your local
dealer for warranty replacement. Do not use damaged or broken
parts. Determine a mounting location with the least amount of
curvature as possible. Also, ensure there is a clear line of sight for
oncoming trafc.
Wiring Instructions:
CAUTION!
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure that the
area is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines, vehicle
upholstery, etc. that could be damaged.
Surface Mounting:
Mark and drill two 3.4 mm holes 3.543” or 90 mm apart. Drill a hole
for the wire exit as needed. Secure in place with the gasket and
supplied hardware as shown in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 1
MOUNTING SURFACE
L Bracket Mounting:
Mark and drill two 2.9 mm holes 3.937” or 100 mm apart. Drill a hole
for the wire exit as needed. Secure in place with the L brackets, gas-
kets and supplied hardware as shown in FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 2
MOUNTING SURFACE
Offset Mounting:
Mark and drill two 2.9 mm holes 5.827” or 148 mm apart. Drill a hole
for the wire exit as needed. Secure in place with the offset brackets,
gaskets and supplied hardware as shown in FIGURE 3.
FIGURE 3
MOUNTING SURFACE
The CD5051 Series of directional LED light heads are self ash-
ing. All wiring should be stranded and a minimum of 22 AWG. The
positive line must have an in-line 3 Amp slow-blow fuse for each
directional as shown in FIGURE 4. Isolate the yellow and blue wires
when not in use.
IMPORTANT! This unit is a safety device and it must be connected
to its own separate, fused power point to assure its continued
operation should any other electrical accessory fail.

Note: On dual color units only, apply (+) power to the blue
wire for dimming.

Flash Pattern Selection:
The CD5051 series directionals can be congured to ash the following patterns by momentarily applying ground to the blue wire. Holding
the blue wire to the ground wire for 2-3 seconds will toggle the unit to the previous pattern. The unit must be powered through the power and
ground wires to allow pattern selection. The blue wire may be wired to momentarily switch. *Applies to Amber, Red, Blue and White. **Ap-
plies to Amber and Blue.
Synchronization:
The CD5051 series directional is capable of syncing with other compatible Code 3 products by following the steps below:
1. Set the desired ash pattern on each unit individually. It is also strongly recommended that the same style of ash pattern be used on all
units to produce the most effective warning pattern. NOTE: Phases A and B for each style of ash pattern in the table denote the relative
timing between units connected in a synchronizing installation. To operate simultaneously, each unit must be set to the same phase (A +
A or B + B); to operate alternately, units must be set to have the opposite phase (A + B or B + A).
2. Connect the yellow sync wires together and check that the units are ashing in a synchronized manner as expected. If a pattern on
one unit appears incorrect, the blue pattern select wire can be used to cycle forward or backward on that individual unit until the correct
pattern is selected. NOTE: This will only change the pattern in the one unit and will not affect the other units connected to the yellow
sync wire.
