Installation & Mounting:
Magnet Mount:
The Magnet Mount feature includes a suction cup on the bottom of the microbar,
with a magnet inside of the suction cup, for a secure, temporary mount. The
microbar should be placed in the center of the roof where the least amount of
curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure the mounting surface is clean and
there is no debris on the bottom of the microbar or on the roof of the vehicle, which
could reduce the holding power of the suction cup and magnet. Place and remove
the microbar without sliding to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After
placement, the microbar should adhere rmly to the surface. If the unit slides or
moves easily, a proper installation has not been obtained. To release, lift the tab to
release the airlock (see Figure 1). To protect the Magnet Mount assembly, return
microbar to the box when not in use. Do not attempt to attach the microbar to an
ice-covered surface.
Carefully remove the Microbar and place it on a at surface.
Examine the unit for transit damage, and locate all parts. If damage
is found, or parts are missing, contact the transit company or ECCO.
Do not use damaged or broken parts.

Caution: When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure the area
is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines, vehicle upholstery, etc.
that could be damaged
WARNING!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe operation using
the Mount model is 65 mph (104 km/h), when tted to the center
of a vehicle roof of steel construction. Higher speeds could
cause the mount to fail, resulting in the minibar ying off of
the vehicle, which could cause damage to other vehicles, and
injury or death to the passengers. The magnet mount is not
intended as a permanent mounting for the minibar. The magnet
mount unit must be mounted on a at smooth magnetic surface
(i.e. no berglass, ribbed style roofs, etc.). Ensure that the
magnet is kept clean.
!
Important! Disable power before wiring up the Microbar.
Note: Operating the Microbar without the lens installed on this
product will result in damage that will not be covered under warranty.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in re or injury from excessive heat build up.
Operator is responsible for ensuring auxiliary plug ts correctly into auxiliary power plug outlet used.
For proper operation, verify auxiliary power outlet circuit is rated to supply a minimum of 10 amps. (See specications section for rated current in amperes).
Do not exceed the current rating for the auxiliary power outlet recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
Keep auxiliary plug and outlet clean and free of debris.
Do not use the auxiliary plug when wet.
Insert auxiliary plug fully into the outlet for proper connection.
Grasp auxiliary plug, NOT cord, to remove from outlet.

Permanent Mounting:
1. Select the desired location on a at surface for the
Microbar to be mounted. The visibility of the ash and
ease of wiring access should be taken into
consideration in the selection of the mounting location.
2. Drill Ø13mm hole for bolt in central location.
3. Remove nut/ shakeproof washer/ washer from bolt. (rubber
spacer to stay on bolt above mounting surface)
4. Place sponge gasket in position on vehicle roof.
5. Place lightbar on roof with wires and bolt through the hole.
6. Ensure bolt head is located correctly in base moulding.
7. Re-apply washer/ shakeproof washer/ nut on underside of
mounting surface and tighten nut to 5Nm.
8. Connect the wires as shown in the wiring section (see Figure 2).
Magnetic Mount Installation for 5500 Series:
1. Remove round black stickers for Magnetic placement
2. Remove lens screws, then remove lens.
3. Unclip and remove wire harness
4. Position vacuum magnets, place, and tighten screws.
5. Insert pinned end of cable through the wire harness hole from the
bottom of the base. Pull at least 6 inches of slack.
6. Turn pins crimp side up, and insert pins into connector as shown in
Figure 3.
7. Place zip-tie 1.0” from base of the connectors shown in Figure 4. Zip-tie
must not slide on cord.
8. Trim excess zip-tie.
9. Clip connector to the PCA board and pull slack until zip-tie touches base.
10.Install lens, reverse of removal.
11.Slide o-ring onto screw until it reaches head, before placing into lens.
If o-rings are damaged, replace with new ones.
Wiring:
The wiring for the permanent mount Microbar is as shown in Figure 5. All
wiring should be a minimum of 18AWG. The positive line must have a 5 amp
fuse, as shown. A switch may be used to control the on/off function.
Flash patterns can be selected on permanent mount Microbar by
touching the yellow wire to the red power wire for less than a second.
Contacting the yellow and red wires for longer than a second toggles to
the preceding ash pattern. The VM models have ash pattern select
via a momentary switch on the cigarette plug.
Flash Mode Selection:
The 5550 permanent mount models sync with other compatible ECCO
products via the blue wire:
1. Determine the desired style of ash pattern for each unit and seteach
unit individually (without the BLUE wires connected together) to avoid
confusion. 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 synchro-nizing 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 BLUE (SYNC) wires together and check that the units
are ashing in a synchronized manner as expected. If a pattern on
one module appears to be wrong, the YELLOW (PATTERN SET)
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 BLUE (SYNC) wire.
3. If the blue wire is unused, leave unconnected and insulated.
