Installation and Mounting
Magnetic Mounting:
The magnetic based beacon provides a secure, temporary installation. The beacon
should be placed in the centre of the roof where the least amount of curvature
occurs. Check the magnet for debris before installation. Any foreign matter can
reduce holding power and scratch the vehicle. The roof surface should be dry
and have a dull, not glossy finish. A glossy, highly waxed surface will reduce the
magnet’s holding power. When placed, the beacon should adhere firmly. The user
should not attempt to drive with the beacon in place should the unit slide or move
easily.
Permanent Mounting:
The permanent mount beacon provides a secure, permanent installation. Wire
routing should be taken into consideration when choosing a mounting location.
