Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Model QuadraFlare DOT

Installing the QuadraFlare

INSTALL IN RECOMMENDED AREAS: When installing equipment

inside airbag equipped vehicles, the installer MUST ensure that

the equipment is installed ONLY in areas recommended by the

vehicle manufacturer.

Failure to observe this warning reduces the effectiveness of the

airbag, damage the airbag, or potentially damage or dislodge the

equipment, causing serious injury or death to you or others.

NOTE: For maximum coverage and effectiveness, mount the light

assembly in a horizontal orientation (see Figure 1).

Before proceeding with installation, determine the approximate

location of the light assembly and plan all cable/wire routing.

To install the QuadraFlare, proceed as follows:

1. See Figure 1. Position the QuadraFlare Warning Light

assembly on the desired mounting surface. Ensure that the

unit is level side to side. Using the dimensions provided in

Figure 2, scribe the four mounting hole locations and a wiring

routing hole location on the mounting surface.

DAMAGE TO LIGHT: When installing the QuadraFlare light on a

vehicle, you MUST use the manufacturer’s supplied screws and

screw grommets. Do not use an impact drill or an electric screw

gun when installing the light. Torque the mounting screws to

the manufacturer’s recommended specication of 12 in-lb +/-10

percent.

Failure to observe these precautions damages the light and void

any warranty claims for the light.

DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: Before drilling holes in ANY part of a

vehicle, be sure that both sides of the mounting surface are clear

of parts that could be damaged; such as brake lines, fuel lines,

electrical wiring or other vital parts.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Model QuadraFlare DOT

2. Drill four 1/4" (0.250") mounting holes and a wire routing

hole 1" (1.00") at the previously scribed locations.

3. Install the four supplied rubber rivet nuts into the four 1/4"

mounting holes.

NOTE: When removing the QuadraFlare Warning Lights, inspect

the mounting grommets for wear and replace them as needed.

DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: All drilled holes should be free of

burrs and sharp edges. Grommet (user supplied) all wire routing

holes and/or sealed to avoid wire and/or vehicle damage.

4. The QuadraFlare Warning Light assembly has two or three

12" long lead wires, which exit out the back of the unit, for

making electrical connections.

5. Complete the electrical connections as described in the Wiring

the QuadraFlare section.

6. See Figure 1. Align the QuadraFlare Warning Light assembly

with the previously inserted rubber rivet nuts and secure with

the provided #6 x 2.0" S.S. screws.

NOTE: QuadraFlare models have identiable color-coded sticker

dots located on the backside of the light assembly. The color-coded

sticker dots correspond to the LED colors on the PC board.

The rst letter in the model number extension “_XX” is the color

that activated by the red wire. The second is activated by the white

wire.

Never apply power to both red and white wires. Both colors will

illuminate incorrectly.

Wiring the QuadraFlare

The Model QuadraFlare Warning Light assembly operates on

12 Vdc. Five 12-inch long lead wires are supplied for making

electrical connections to the QuadraFlare Warning Light assembly.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Model QuadraFlare DOT

Ensure that all wires are properly connected and insulated

appropriately.

To make electrical connections, proceed as follows:

1. Using 18-gauge (minimum) wire, connect the red (+) lead to

the positive power source terminal and the black (–) lead to

the negative power source terminal at the asher.

2. For pre-terminated models, plug connector to the cable.

Safety Message to Operators

Peoples’ lives depend on your safe use of our products. Listed

below are some important safety instructions and precautions

you should follow:

• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may

not be completely effective. People may not see or heed your

warning signal. You must recognize this fact and continue

driving cautiously.

• Also, situations may occur which obstruct your warning

signal when natural or man-made objects are between your

vehicle and others, such as: raising your hood or trunk lid. If

these situations occur, be especially careful.

• This product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent

eye damage, DO NOT stare into the light beam at close

range.

• At the start of your shift, you should ensure that the light is

securely attached and operating properly.

Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in property

damage, serious injury, or death to you, to passengers, or to

others.

Retain and refer to this message.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Model QuadraFlare DOT

Cleaning the QuadraFlare

CLEANING POLYCARBONATE DOMES AND LENSES: Crazing

(ne cracks) of lenses causes reduced effectiveness of the light.

Do not use cleaning agents (which causes crazing) such as

strong detergents, solvents, or petroleum products. If crazing

of lenses does occur, reliability of light for emergency signaling

purposes may be reduced until lenses are replaced.

CLEANING POLYCARBONATE DOMES AND LENSES: To extend

the life of this device, periodic cleaning is necessary. Clean the

lens/dome with a mild, non-abrasive, neutral-pH cleaning agent

and a soft, clean cloth. Rinse the device thoroughly to ensure

that no cleaning agent residue remains. To avoid water spots,

dry the device with a soft clean cloth.

Failure to follow this precaution can cause crazing or cracking of

the lens/dome and voids the warranty claims for the light.

NOTE: Scratched or dull reector, mirrors or lenses reduces the

effectiveness of the lighting system. Use a mild, non-abrasive,

neutral-pH cleaning agent and a soft, clean cloth, when cleaning

the lighting system. Replace any optical components that may

have been scratched or crazed during system installation. The use

of strong, non-neutral-pH cleaners voids the warranty.
