Safety First

This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed.

Before beginning the installation and/or operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must

read this manual completely. Important information is contained herein that could prevent serious injury or damage.

• Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics,

systems and procedures.

• If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other

vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling

begins. Also de-burr the holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage

holes.

• If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro™, clean the

mounting surface with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly.

• Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or

located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a

projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for the air bag

deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based

on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.

• For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis ground must be

made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE

(-) battery post (this does not include products that use cigar power cords).

• If this product uses a remote device for activation or control, make sure that this device is located in an area

that allows both the vehicle and the device to be operated safely in any driving condition.

• Do not attempt to activate or control this device in a hazardous driving situation.

• This product contains either strobe light(s), halogen light(s), high-intensity LEDs or a combination of these

lights. Do not stare directly into these lights. Momentary blindness and/or eye damage could result.

• Use only soap and water to clean the outer lens. Use of other chemicals could result in premature lens cracking

(crazing) and discoloration. Lenses in this condition have significantly reduced effectiveness and should be

replaced immediately. Inspect and operate this product regularly to confirm its proper operation and mounting

condition. Do not use a pressure washer to clean this product.

• It is recommended that these instructions be stored in a safe place and referred to when performing

maintenance and/or reinstallation of this product.

•FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO

THE PRODUCT OR VEHICLE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS!

BASE TYPE

Mounting:

The RB6 Series uses a base that may be mounted one of two

ways. It is designed to be mounted in a normal dome- up

position. If mounted in an inverted position, seal the wire exit

hole and any mounting holes with silicone seal.

WARNING! All customer supplied wires that

connect to the positive terminal of the battery must

be sized to supply at least 125% of the maximum

operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry

that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH

THIS PRODUCT!

1” N.P.T. PIPE MOUNT:

1. Feed the beacon wires through the pipe.

2. Extend the RED beacon wire to +12VDC and fuse at 7.5

amps (see warning). Extend the BLACK beacon wire to

chassis ground (-). This unit is polarity sensitive!

3. Screw the strobe beacon onto the pipe, being careful not

to pinch or strain the wires. Hand tighten the unit onto

pipe.

Permanent surface mount:

Note: It will be necessary to remove the dome in

order to use this mounting style.

1. Remove the clamp ring securing the dome to the base

and remove the dome.

2. Locate the 3 mounting hole indentations on the inside

bottom of the base. Drill openings at these locations sized

to accommodate the sheet metal mounting screws

(customer supplied). Deburr these openings and remove

any shavings.

3. Using the base as a template, mark the location of the

three mounting holes and wire access hole onto the

mounting surface.

4. Using an appropriately sized drill bit (based on the

mounting hardware used and the thickness of the

mounting surface), drill the three mounting holes marked

in step 3. The wire access hole should be drilled using a

1/4” drill bit. Deburr all holes and install a rubber grommet

(customer supplied) to protect the wires.

5. Feed the wires through the wire access hole in the

mounting gasket, and the mounting surface.

6. Align the mounting holes in the base, gasket, and

mounting surface. Fasten with the three sheet metal

screws.

7. Extend the RED beacon wire to +12VDC and fuse at 7.5

amps (see warning). Extend the BLACK beacon wire to

chassis ground (-). This unit is polarity sensitive!

8. A magnet mount or mirror mount kit is available for

purchase separately (see parts list).
