Wiring Instructions - Ecco EB7180 Serie Instrucciones De Instalación Y Operación

Installation & Mounting:
Before installation, examine the LED beacon for transit damage.
Do not use damaged or broken parts.
Important! This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its
own separate, fused power point to assure its continued operation should
any other electrical accessory fail.
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
Permanent Mounting:
1. The beacon should be mounted to a flat surface or one
with the least amount of curvature. The mounting location
should allow the maximum visibility of the warning device to
other road users, while allowing for sufficient wire access.
2. Using the supplied mounting gasket as a template, mark
the four (4) drill hole locations on the mounting surface per
FIGURE 1.
3. Drill mounting holes using a #29 (0.136" [3.45mm] dia.) drill
bit.
4. Drill a 5/16" [8mm] hole for the wires as needed. Remove
any sharp edges from this hole.
5. Mount the LED beacon along with the mounting gasket
using additional grommets or cable protection as necessary
to protect the wiring from any sharp edges. Secure the LED
beacon to the surface using the included M4x16mm
self-tapping screws.

(-) Ground. Connect to the battery negative
terminal or a suitable chassis point. For
EB7185 units, white and/or purple wire
must be attached to ground for activation.
(+) Power. Install an in-line fuse located
as close to the (+) battery terminal as
possible. Use a 5A fuse for EB7180 or a
10A fuse for EB7185.
Flash Pattern. Touch to (-) ground for flash
pattern select. See table for details.
Sync. Set each individual unit to the same
flash patterns before syncing.
Dual color EB7185 units only. Connect to
(-) ground to activate the upper LEDs.
Dual color EB7185 units only. Connect to
(-) ground to activate the lower LEDs.
Temporary Mounting, Vacuum-Magnet Mount:
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 the mounting surface is clean and
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 magnet. Place and remove the beacon without sliding
to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After placement, the
beacon should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or
moves easily, a proper installation 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.
!
WARNING!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe operation using the
Vacuum Mount model is 65 mph (104 km/h), when fitted to the center
of a vehicle roof of steel construction. Higher speeds could cause
the mount to fail, resulting in the beacon flying 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 flat smooth magnetic surface (i.e. no fiber
glass, ribbed style roofs, etc.). Ensure that the magnet is kept clean.
