ROOF-MOUNTED TELESCOPIC MASTS
Fireco Roof-Mounted Masts are the ideal solu-
tion where compact roof mounted lighting sys-
tems are required.
The user has a choice of 3 types of remote con-
trol, all of which control all mast functions.
Control Options:
• Hard-Wired version with spiraled cable and
plug
• Radio controlled version (range approxi-
mately 30m)
• Smart type
Fireco’s Tilt & Turn head unit allows lighting,
cameras or sensors to be directed where re-
quired at any angle.

USE AND MAINTENANCE FOR ROOF MASTS
A few important suggestions to avoid more common accidents:
WARNINGS
ATTENTION !
Ensure that, during use and whilst the mast is being extended,
no obstructions or people are in the working area
Ensure the vehicle is completely stationary and that the hand-
brake is on
Check that the vehicle’s pneumatic and electrical supply
systems are compatible with the mast supplied
Make sure the mast is not equipped with non-certied devices
and that any attachments do not exceed the maximum
recommended mass and dimensions

ATTENZIONE !
It is highly recommended to test the stability of the Roof System
and its mast head support bracket in the ‘parked’ position. The 2
red pins should be seated completed in the 2 holes. This check is

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PNEUMATIC CONNECTION
(For versions without compressor)
After mounting the ROOF system and tting the lamp unit to the vehicle,
connect the electrical feed cables. These can be found protruding from the
electrical box, which is situated under the main cover.
Please refer to the remote control instructions at page 16, for guidance on
mast functions.
The ROOF telescopic masts require compressed air to extend the mast.
The ROOF systems can be supplied either with a built-in compressor or with a
connection to an external pneumatic source.
All system functions are controlled by the electronic circuit board

AUTOMATIC RESTORE
To start any operation, it is necessary to unlock the remote control.
To activate the functions, simultaneously press 1 and 9.
(The unlock function of the controller is similar to that on mobile phones)
Signal healthy light (5), illuminates when any is pushed.
TheilluminatedLEDsigniesthatthesignalhasbeencorrectlyreceivedbythemast.
Pressing button 11 tests check the electrical supply and battery charge. Battery he-
althy light (12) will illuminate.
To begin the mast extension, hold down button 1. By holding down button 1, the Roof
system can tilt till up by 90° and only at this point the pneumatic loading valve opens.
To switch the lamp unit ON, use keys 8, 9 and 10. LEDs next to each of the buttons
signify which lamps are active.
Dependingonwhichlampisselected,itispossibletomovetheoodlightsinany
direction (right, left, up, down). Use buttons 3, 4 and 15*, 16* for tilting, use 6 and
7 for turning.
For instant mast stowage, simply press button 2, or alternatively
release the hand-brake when connected (see item 2 on page 18).
This will restore the mast back to its storage position.
Automatic retraction operates in the following order:
• Floodlights OFF
• TT restore
• Opening of pressure relief valves
• System back to vertical position.
NB: The mast head will only start tilting after the mast head locator switch is closed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NO SYSTEM INPUT
1) Press the BATTERY CHECK BUTTON and check that the LED illuminates (page
16, n° 11 and 12). If the LED is not illuminated:
• Check the status of the fuse. This can be found in
the fuse-holder, which is above the electrical box at
the base of the system. The fuse must be a 5x20
mm “fast blow fuse”. 10A slow blow fuses are not
suitable.
• Check the Voltage to the red and black wires at the
base of the Roof system (see picture A page 12).
• Check that the emergency restore button positioned on the cover is not
pressed
• Check the automotive fuse on the power board inside the electrical box (see
picture A page 22)
If you are using the radio control:
Press the Battery test button to check the charge status of the batteries.
(LED ON: battery charged). In this case, perform the frequency self-learning
procedure by simultaneously pressing buttons n°1 and n°2 for ve seconds
(green and yellow, page 16). Ensure that you are not standing too far from the
vehicle or that there is nothing blocking the signal path.
2) If the handbrake cut-out function is installed, check the relay or switch used to
signal that the handbrake is operating correctly. If necessary , try by by-passing
the hand-brake security function, by creating an electrical bridge between the
relevant contacts (refer to table on page 22).
3) Ensure you are executing the correct unlocking sequence on the remote
control (for the correct procedure, please refer to page 16).
THE SYSTEM TILTS BUT DOES NOT EXTEND
For versions without compressor
Check the pneumatic circuit:
• Check the pneumatic hose is properly connected to the quick connection
and that it is not damaged, squashed or bent
• Ensure the circuit pressurised (operating pressure - 2,5 bar)
• Checkthegroupofelectro-valvetheopeningoftheowregulator
• Check that the air loading valve is working and properly connected.
For versions with 24V compressor
Check the 5x20 16A fuse on the “UM394” electronic board (see picture B page
22).
For versions with 12V compressor
Check the operation of the 12V relays found inside the electrical box.
THE MAST EXTENDS BUT THE FLOODLIGHTS DO NOT SWITCH ON
1) Check the status of the 110/220V AC protection fuse, if present (installation
of this fuse is the installer’s responsibility)
2) Ensure that the bulbs are not damaged or that there is no evidence of
burning
3) Ensure the relay set is working (see picture 1 page 11)
AUTOMATIC RESTORE FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE
If mast does not restore in the expected manner:
• Check that both turning and tilting end-switches found on the mast head
are at position ‘ZERO’ (see pictures 2 and 3 page 11)
• Check the air discharge valve operates correctly
• Press STOP, unlock the board and then again press the yellow button (key
2)
TO MANUALLY TILT THE MAST
• Remove the outer protective cover
• Remove the mechanical actuator protection plate off
• With a cross head screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to lower the mast
to its stowage position
