Installation & Mounting:
Important!
This unit is a safety device, and it must be
connected to its own separate, fused power point to as-
sure its continued operation should any other electrical
accessory fail.
Carefully remove the beacon and place it on a flat surface.
Examine 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.
Important!
This light and associated power wiring should
be located at least 3 feet away from any radio transmitting
antenna. NOTE: The required separation distance can
vary for some high power transmitters/antennas. The
maximum rated field strength is 60v/m.
Permanent Mounting:
1. Select the desired location on a flat surface for the
beacon to be mounted. The visibility of the flash and
ease of wiring access should be taken into
consideration in the selection of the mounting location.
2. Using the base gasket as a template, mark the three
mounting hole locations (see Figure 1).
3. Drill the holes using a 7/32" drill size.
4. A fourth hole may be drilled for wire access as shown in
Figure 1, or the wires may be routed through the slot in
the base for external access.
5. Connect the power wires as shown in the wiring section
(see Figure 3).
6. Mount the beacon with #10 hardware.
Pipe Mounting:
The 7900 series base comes with 1" NPT threads for pipe
mounting.

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 opera-
tion 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 mount-
ing for the beacon. The vacuum-magnet mount unit
must be mounted on a flat smooth magnetic surface
(i.e. no fiberglass, ribbed style roofs, etc.). Insure that
the magnet is kept clean.
