FAQs

Can I install this on a 12V passenger car?

No, this specific beacon is designed for 24V systems and will not function correctly on a standard 12V battery.

Does this beacon include a mounting bracket?

The unit is designed for direct mounting; please verify your specific installation requirements as it may require custom mounting hardware.

Is this beacon legal for road use?

It is ADR/GGVS approved, but you must check your local traffic laws regarding the color and placement of warning beacons on public roads.

What does the IP67 rating mean?

It means the unit is dust-tight and protected against the effects of immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.

How long is the provided power cable?

The unit includes a 200mm cable with open ends.

Troubleshooting

Beacon fails to activate when switched on

Verify the vehicle power supply is 24V and check the wiring connections at the open-ended cable junction for continuity.

LEDs are flickering or dim

Check for a voltage drop in the line or ensure the grounding wire is securely connected to a clean, unpainted chassis point.

Moisture inside the lens

Inspect the unit housing for cracks or impacts and ensure the mounting gasket is fully compressed against the vehicle surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
