Installing the FireRay
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT: Do not install equipment or route wiring
in the deployment path of an airbag. Failure to observe this
warning will reduce the eectiveness of the airbag or potentially
dislodge the equipment, causing serious injury or death.
NOTE: For maximum coverage and eectiveness, mount the
light assembly in a horizontal orientation. See Figure 1.
Before proceeding with installation, determine the approximate
location of the light assembly and plan all cable/wire routing.
To install the FireRay:
1. Position the Scene light assembly on the desired mounting
surface. Ensure that the unit is level side to side. See
Figure1.

Installing the FireRay
DAMAGE TO LIGHT: When installing the FireRay scene light on
a vehicle, you MUST use the manufacturer’s supplied mounting
gasket, screws, and screw grommets. Do not use an impact
drill or an electric screw gun when installing the light. Torque
the mounting screws to the manufacturer’s recommended
specication of 7.8-11.3 in-lb. Failure to observe these
precautions damages the scene light and void any warranty
claims for the light.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: When drilling holes, check the area
you are drilling into to ensure that you do not damage vehicle
components while drilling. All drilled holes should be de-burred,
and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wire routings going
through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or
convolute/split loom tubing.
3. Drill two 1/4-inch mounting holes and a 1-inch wire routing
hole at the previously scribed locations.
4. Install the two supplied plastic screw grommets into the two
1/4-inch mounting holes.
NOTE: When removing the FireRay Scene light, inspect the
mounting grommets for wear and replace them as needed.
5. Complete the electrical connections as described in the
Making Electrical Connections section. The FireRay warning
light assembly has five 8.7-inch long lead wires, which exit
out the back of the unit, for making electrical connections.
6. Align the Scene light assembly with the previously inserted
plastic screw grommets and secure with the provided #8 by
1-inch stainless steel screws for FR6 and FR7 models. For
the FR9 model, use #8 by 2-inch stainless steel screws. See
Figures 2 and 3.
