Warnings and Notices for Users and Installers

This document must be delivered to and read by the end user and installer as it serves to provide you with the required information for proper and

safe use of your STL product. Before operating this or any STL products the user and installer must read this manual all the way through. You will

nd important information in this manual that could prevent property damage and/or serious injury to the user and installer.

STL products are intended to alert pedestrians and other operators of the presence of personnel, the operation of emergency vehicles, an emer-

gency site, and any warning needs. This does not ensure that pedestrians or drivers will react, heed, or observe emergency warning signals. Nor

does the use of emergency signals grant or ensure you the right of way. It is your responsibility to make sure you can proceed safely before driving

against trac, entering an intersection, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around trac lanes.

Your STL emergency vehicle devices should be tested daily to ensure the device and all its functions are operating correctly. If you experience a

malfunction contact STL’s Customer Service immediately for troubleshooting options, or a warranty or service claim. You must ensure sure that

the projection of the visual and audible signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks, visors, compartment doors), vehicles, other

obstructions, or people.

This is professional grade equipment and is intended for strict use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to understand and

obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. You must know and be familiar with all applicable city, state, and federal laws and regulations

prior to the use of emergency vehicle warning devices.

SpeedTech Lights, Inc. assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. Proper installation is vital to the performance

of the warning devices and safe operation of the emergency vehicle. Since the operator is under stressful environments the equipment must be

properly wired and mounted to ensure eectiveness and safety. Therefore controllers must be properly installed and placed within convenient

reach of the operator so eye contact with the roadway is never lost.

The eectiveness of your STL equipment is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Improper wiring and mounting of the warning

device will reduce the output and performance of the equipment. Emergency warning devices frequently require high electrical voltages and/

or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high

current arcing, which can cause severe personal injury and/or serious vehicle damage, including re.

Electromagnetic interference can be caused by many electronic devices used in emergency vehicles. To ensure that this doesn’t happen to you,

lightbars should be mounted a minimum of 12”- 34”from the radio antenna and do not power your equipment from the same circuit or share the

same grounding circuit with radio communication equipment. After installation, test all the vehicle’s equipment together to ensure everything

operates free of interference.

Driver and/or passenger airbags bags (SRS) will impact the way you mount your equipment. Any equipment installed in the deployment area of

the airbags will damage or dislodge the airbags and sensors. This will also reduce the eectiveness of the airbags to protect the passengers and

therefore these areas must be avoided. Installers must make sure that this equipment along with any parts, hardware, wiring, power supplies, and

switch boxes do not interfere with the airbags, SRS wiring, or sensors.

ROAD FLARE

All STL equipment needs to be mounted and installed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions and securely attached to a part of the

vehicle of sucient strength to withstand the forces applied by the equipment. This device should be permanently mounted within the zones

specied by the vehicle manufacturer. This especially applies to equipment mounted on the exterior of the vehicle to avoid dislodging. Mount-

ing units on the interior of the vehicle by a method other than permanent mount is discouraged as it may become detached under aggressive

driving conditions such as sudden braking, collision, or swerving.

PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY

WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIALTO ENSURETHE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL ANDTHE PUBLIC.

Pre-Installation and Testing

BENCH TEST all units prior to installation by connecting the Positive Cable (Red) and Negative Cable (Black) to a power source to ensure all the

features and parts of the Switch Box are functional.
