Code 3 MX 7000 - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
The MX 7000 ® Light Bar is a dual-level light bar that is less than 6" high, yet delivers unobstructed 360° warning and
more signal power and versatility than any other light bar of its size.
The low profile and aerodynamic lines of the MX reduce air drag, which results in fuel savings and stability at high
speeds. This light bar has a strong extruded internal frame, shock-resistant polycarbonate lenses, and warning signals that
exceed SAE standards.
The MX is designed on a modular basis, which means that the light bar can be customized to meet any requirements.
Because of its dual-level design, the MX has room for an incredible number of these options: standard or high speed
rotators, StingRay
TM oscillating signals, an OsciLaser TM in the top deck, alley lights and intersection or Pursuit Lights in the
lower corners, and up to 12 locations for special purpose stationary lights in the lower deck. While we do not recommend
a light installed in every location, the design of the MX 7000 offers the ultimate flexibility in the location of warning and
auxiliary lights.
The use of this or any warning device does not insure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an
emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can
proceed safely before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed, or
walking on or around traffic lanes.
The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Read and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The vehicle operator should insure
daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should insure the projection
of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people,
vehicles, or other obstructions.
This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to understand
and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check all applicable city, state and
federal laws and regulations.
Public Safety Equipment, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.
Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency
vehicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and
physiological stress caused by the emergency situation. The warning device should be installed in such a
manner as to: A) Not reduce the output performance of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient
reach of the operator so that he can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use
caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high
current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMER-
GENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
AND THE PUBLIC.
