Overview of the Spire
The beacon uses an LED light source to provide a reliable
signal with 25 selectable flash patterns. Use pattern 10 if you
will be utilizing an external flasher. The beacon may be flush
mounted, pipe mounted, or attached to brackets. Optional
plastic or aluminum mounting flanges are available. The light
can also be ordered with magnetic mounts or magnetic suction
mounts. The light can operate on a nominal 12 or 24 Vdc power
source. A waterproof connector socket is molded into the base.
Pre-terminated wires and connector parts are supplied to build
the power leads. Installer-supplied wire may be used to neatly
extend the power connection to the vehicle's harness without
butt splices. Optional branch guards and dust covers are also
available.

Unpacking the Beacon
After unpacking the beacon, inspect it for damage that

immediately with the carrier, stating the extent of damage.
Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels, and tags before
removing or destroying them. If installing a permanent mounted
beacon, ensure that the parts listed in Table 2 are included in
