1. Unpacking & Pre-Installation Check
D&R Electronics Co. recommends that you open and examine all shipments within 48 hours of receipt.
The INTIMIDATOR IQ systems are shipped pre-assembled and factory tested. All necessary hardware for
standard installation is included. Use this pre-installation check list to verify your unit:
1.Confirm contents with the packing slip
2.Examine unit for damaged in transit (i.e. scratches, broken or bent connectors. etc.).
If any damage has occurred, file a claim IMMEDIATELY with the courier stating the extent of damage.
Check ALL envelopes, packing slips, shipping labels and tags before removing or destroying them.
2. Safety Considerations
The effectiveness of this system is highly dependent upon its proper installation. Please read and follow ALL
instructions provided in this manual before attempting the installation.
For proper installation of this product you must have a good understanding of automotive electrical systems
and procedures, as well as proficiency in installation and servicing of emergency vehicle sound, lighting
and warning equipment. We recommend this equipment be installed only by qualified personnel.
•DO NOT connect this system to vehicle battery until all other electrical connections have been complet-
ed, and have been checked that no short-circuits exist.
•When passing wire through compartment walls and drilling holes is required, the installer MUST check
both sides of the drilling surface before drilling. Make sure that no vehicle components could be dam-
aged by the drilling operation. Clean the holes and remove any burrs. Use a grommet of appropriate size
and sealants when passing the wires through the compartment walls.
•Looms, grommets, cable ties or other installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect wires.
•Splices should be minimized and made in a fashion so as to protect them from corrosion to minimize the
possibility of loss of conductivity over time.
•INSTALLATION OF ALL EQUIPMENT AND WIRING SHALL NOT OBSRUCT, IMPEDE OR INTER-
FERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF VEHICLE AIR BAGS, OTHERWISE IT COULD POSSIBLY RE-
DUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS THE AIR BAG SYSTEM CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY (OR EVEN
DEATH) IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.
•If using non-D&R Electronics components, such as speaker(s), be sure that they are properly rated for
the system you are installing.
•All speakers should be installed in a location that will produce minimum sound levels inside the vehicle,
while maximizing the warning signal effectiveness to oncoming traffic on the exterior of the vehicle.
•This device is intended for use by authorized personnel only. The user responsibility is to ensure that all
local, state/provincial and federal laws are being complied with. D&R assumes no liability for any loss
resulting from the use of this device.
WARNING!
The D&R Electronics INTIMIDATOR siren/light controller is an advanced microprocessor based system. Un-
like conventional systems, malfunctions and/or improper operation will result if proper installation procedures
are not followed. Refer to any accompanying diagrams and pay particular attention to WARNINGS, CAU-
TIONS and HAZARDS listed in this document. Follow instructions exactly as shown where so indicated.
HEARING HAZARDS!
Your hearing and that of others, in or near the emergency vehicle could be affected by the very loud emer-
gency sounds generated. Hearing loss or damage could result due to short-term exposure to excessively
loud sounds! Each jurisdiction (country, province/state, etc.) has specific regulations governing ex-
posure to sound. During installation and testing it is recommended that anyone working in the vicinity of the
vehicle to wear approved hearing protection devices.
