WARRANTY
Code 3, ® Inc.'s emergency devices are tested and found to be operational at the time of manufacture. Provided they are installed and
operated in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations, Code 3, Inc. guarantees all parts and components except the lamps to a period
of 1 year (unless otherwise expressed) from the date of purchase or delivery, whichever is later. Units demonstrated to be defective within the
warranty period will be repaired or replaced at the factory service center at no cost.
Use of lamp or other electrical load of a wattage higher than installed or recommended by the factory, or use of inappropriate or inadequate
wiring or circuit protection causes this warranty to become void. Failure or destruction of the product resulting from abuse or unusual use and/or
accidents is not covered by this warranty. Code 3, Inc. shall in no way be liable for other damages including consequential, indirect or special
damages whether loss is due to negligence or breach of warranty.
CODE 3, INC. MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF
FITNESS OR MERCHANTABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT.
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly
recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do
not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g. 3M ® Scotchlock type connectors). Route wiring using grommets
and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop. High
ambient temperatures (e.g. underhood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit
breakers. Use "SXL" type wire in engine compartment. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other
recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets,
cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring. Fuses or circuit breakers
should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices.
Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect
these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity. Ground terminations should only be made to substantial chassis
components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery. The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of
the maximum Amp capacity in the supply line to protect against short circuits. For example, a 30 Amp fuse should
carry a maximum of 24 Amps. DO NOT USE 1/4" DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR
CONTINUOUS DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will
"false trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
Wear hearing protection when testin, Use siren only for emergency response, Roll up windows when siren is operating,
Avoid exposure to the siren sound outside of vehicle.
