Do not install and/or operate this safety product unless you have read and understand 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 you and those you are trying to protect.
2. 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 are vital to the performance of this warning device. Install this product so that out-
put performance of the system is maximized and the controls are placed within convenient reach of the operator so
that s/he can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
5. It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure during use 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 a warning sig-
nal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can proceed safely before enter-
inganintersection,drivingagainsttrafc,respondingatahighrateofspeed,walking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 warning signal devices. Therefore, the user should check all applicable city, state, and fed-
eral laws and regulations. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning
device.

Carefullyremovethebeacon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.
Permanent Mounting:
SelectthedesiredlocationonaatsurfacefortheLEDbeacon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.
1. Using the base gasket as a template, mark the three mount-
ingholelocations(seeFigure1).
2. Drilltheholesusinga7/32”drillsize.
3. AfourthholemaybedrilledforwireaccessasshowninFig-
ure 1, or the wires may be routed through the slot in the base
for external access.
4. Connectthepowerwiresasshowninthewiringsection(see
Figure3).
5. Mount the beacon with #8 hardware.
Pipe Mounting:
The7945&7950seriesbasecomeswith1”NPTthreadsforpipe
mounting.

Temporary Mounting, Vacuum-Magnet Mount:
The 7945 & 7950 series beacons are available as vacuum-magnet
mount(7945X-VM&7950X-VM)units.TheVacuum-MagnetMount
feature includes a suction cup on the bottom of the beacon, with a
magnet inside of the suction cup, for a secure, temporary mount. The
beacon should be placed in the center of the roof where the least
amount of curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure there is
no debris on the bottom of the beacon or on the roof of the vehicle,
which could reduce the holding power of the suction cup and mag-
net. Place and remove the beacon without sliding to avoid scratching
the paint on the vehicle. After placement, the beacon should adhere
rmlytothesurface.Iftheunitslidesormoveseasily,aproperin-
stallation has not been obtained. To release the vacuum, lift the tab
toreleasetheairlock(seeFigure2).ToprotecttheVacuum-Magnet
Mount assembly, return beacon to the box when not in use. Do not
attempt to attach the beacon to an ice-covered surface.

Important! This unit is a safety device, and it must be
connected to its own seperate, fused power point to as-
sure its continued operation should any other electrical
accessory fail.
!
WARNING!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe operation
using the Vacuum 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 beacon ying off
of the vehicle, which could cause damage to other vehicles, and
injury or death to the passengers. The vacuum-magnet mount is not
intended as a permanent mounting for the beacon. The vacuum-
magnet mount unit must be mounted on a at smooth magnetic
surface (i.e. no berglass, ribbed style roofs, etc.). Insure that the
magnet is kept clean.

WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in  re or injury from excessive heat build up.
Operatorisresponsibleforensuringcigaretteadaptertscorrectlyintocigarette/auxillaryoutletused.
Forproperoperation,verifycigarette/auxillary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 cigarette lighter power outlet recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
Keep cigarette lighter adapter, and outlet, clean and free of debris.
Do not use the cigarette lighter adapter when wet.
Insert cigarette lighter adapter fully into the outlet for proper connection.
Grasp cigarette lighter adapter, NOT cord, to remove from outlet.
Remove cigarette lighter adapter completely from outlet when light is not in use.
Wiring Instructions:
Important: Disable power before wiring the beacon.

Notes:
1.Largerwiresandtightconnectionswillprovidelongerservicelifeforcomponents.Forhighcurrentwiresitishighly
recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do
notuseinsulationdisplacementconnectors(e.g.,3MScotchlocktypeconnectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices
toreducevoltagedrop.Highambienttemperatures(e.g.,under-hood)willsignicantlyreducethecurrentcarrying
capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recom-
mendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties,
and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
3.Fusesorcircuitbreakersshouldbelocatedasclosetothepowertakeoffpointsaspossibleandproperlysizedto
protect the wiring and devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect
these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6.Circuitbreakersareverysensitivetohightemperaturesandwill“falsetrip”whenmountedinhotenvironmentsor
operated close to their capacity.

Maintenance:
This LED beacon has been designed for trouble free operation.
There are no periodic maintenance needs for this model.
Troubleshooting:
1. Most beacon failures, including intermittent or erratic operation
as well as failure of operation can be traced to wiring or battery
problems. Check all wiring, connections, fuse, switch, and bat-
tery voltage to insure that the correct voltage is reaching the
beacon.
2. If this has not remedied the problem, return product to your local
dealer for warranty replacement, or call ECCO Customer Ser-
viceforassistance(800)635-5900.
Note: Operating the vehicle without the lens installed on
this product will result in damage that will not be covered
under warranty.
Flash Pattern Selection:
Flash patterns can be selected 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.
