Code 3 MX 7000 - Manual (Page 8)

Options & Specifications
Many options are available for the MX 7000. This section is designed to describe the function of, and
maintenance for, the various MX 7000 options.
STINGRAY TM - The StingRay is a modified rotator which produces a patented three-mode signal that (1)
oscillates to the rear, (2) rotates conventionally, and (3) oscillates to the front. Lamp and reflector
maintenance is the same as for a typical rotating lamp.
INTERSECTION LIGHTS - A high intensity 120° oscillator, located in the lower outboard corner of the light
bar. Maintenance of these units is much the same as for a typical rotator. The lamps used here are the
bayonet type. Two mounting screws hold the assembly in place. Note: Never install a black worm gear
on the 120° Intersection Light.
PURSUIT LIGHTS - Same as intersections lights except sweep angle is only 70°.
ALLEY LIGHTS - Located in the lower section of the light bar at each end, to provide light to the side of
the vehicle. The lamps used are a bayonet type and the unit is held down with 2 #8 X 5/8" screws. (An
additional screw in a curved slot controls the aim of the alley light in light bars that do not incorporate an
ArrowStik. Simply loosen this screw, adjust the aim and tighten. (This screw does not need to be
loosened when the whole unit is removed.)
HIGH SPEED ROTATOR - A rotator that produces twice as many flashes as a conventional assembly.
The only significant difference between this unit and a normal assembly is that a faster motor is used.
Maintenance is the same as for a typical rotator.
STATIONARY LAMPS/TAKEDOWN LIGHTS - A stationary reflector assembly used for flashing,
takedown, and/or work light applications. These are located in the lower section of the light bar. Lamps in
these units are bayonet type and the units are mounted with two screws.
LED WARNING MODULES
This Product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent eye damage, DO NOT stare
into light beam at close range.
WARNING! !
L.E.D. Fusing Considerations
Although the average current draw per module is very low, due to the type of circuit used to power each module the
instantaneous peak current to a module can be significantly higher during low voltage conditions. To avoid prematurely blowing
ATO style fuses or tripping breakers it is recommended the following rule-of-thumb be used to size fuses or breakers. This is
especially important in lightbars with many LED modules running off a single fused source wire,
Minimum fuse size calculation:
1.5 x (number of modules being fused)
Example:
MX700™ Lightbar with 2 corner modules (2 per module) and 4 directional modules.
Minimum fuse requirement for single fuse - 1.5 (2+2+4) = 10A minimum
