Introduction:
The 6900 Series Strobes are designed to meet SAE J1318
Class 1 & 2 specifications, and reflect the latest advances
in 360º strobe warning technology. The strobes have many
feaures, including the following:
•
LED indicator showing proper operation of the strobe
•
Field replaceable flash tube
•
Field selectable dual or quad flash, high or low intensity
•
Voltage spike and surge protected
•
High voltage and current protection
•
High temperature shutoff

Installation & Mounting:
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.
Carefully remove the strobe and place it on a flat surface. Exam-
ine 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.
!
Caution: When drilling into any vehicle surface,
make sure that the area is free from any electrical wires,
fuel lines, vehicle upholstery, etc. that
could be damaged.

Permanent Mounting:
Select the desired location on a flat surface for the strobe beacon
to be mounted. The visibility of the strobe flash 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 strobe with #8 hardware.
Pipe Mounting:
The 6900 series base comes with 1" NPT threads for pipe mount-
ing.
Temporary Mounting, Vacuum-Magnet Mount:
The 6900 series strobes are available as vacuum-magnet mount
(6900X-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 curva-
ture occurs. Before installing, make sure there is no debris on the
bottom of the beacon or on the roof of the vehicle, which could re-
duce 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 installa-
tion 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.
