AEROMAX
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Aeromax beacons are available with 4 bolt, centre and magnetic fixings.
4 BOLT FIXING
Fit the 2 edge seal strips supplied into the grooves on the underside of the base and
the self-adhesive seal around the central loom entry hole.
Remove the lens from the beacon and using the base as a template, mark the
position of the 4 corner boltholes and the centre loom entry.
Drill the locating holes 6.5mm diameter and attach the beacon to the roof using the
M6 bolts, nuts and washers supplied.
Tighten the bolts until the sealing strips are compressed and the unit is secure.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Seal the bolt and loom holes with silicone sealant before tightening to prevent water
ingress.
CENTRE BOLT FIXING
The beacon has a single centre hollow bolt with wiring entry through the bolt.
Drill an 18mm diameter hole. Remove the lower nut and washer from the bolt and
feed the wiring loom and bolt through the hole.
Secure the unit with the bolt and washer from inside the vehicle, sealing the hole with
silicone sealant prior to tightening. Tighten the nut until the sealing strips are
compressed and the unit is secure.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
MAGNETIC MOUNTING
Magnetic beacons are designed for temporary use only. The beacon should be
placed on the flattest part of the roof, parallel to the ground.
The vehicle panel must be of steel construction, covered only with the manufacturers
normal paint finish.
4 magnet-mounting beacons have a recommended maximum speed of 60mph.
2 magnetic /suction cup beacons have a recommended maximum speed of 70mph.
Power is supplied via the fitted lead and cigar plug. Note that prolonged use with
standard vehicle cigar lighter socket may lead to overheating if the socket contacts
are dirty or corroded. If overheating occurs, the socket should be cleaned or
replaced.

WIRING AND MAINTENANCE
HALOGEN ROTATOR BEACON INSTALLATION
The black cable should be connected to a reliable earth point, or directly connected
to battery negative.
The red cable should be connected to battery positive via suitable relay and 15A
fuse. The beacons are single voltage as marked on the label affixed to the top of the
lens. The current rating of the halogen beacon is 10A at 12vdc and 5A at 24vdc.
HALOGEN BULB REPLACEMENT

Switch off the beacon and allow the bulb to cool. Remove the bulb clip from
the rotator assembly and pull the bulb upward out of the bulb connector and
insulator.
 Push the new bulb into the connector, taking care not to handle the glass
envelopes.
 Refit the clip ensuring that the clip, located correctly on the centre pillar retains
the bulb.
Note: To improve access, remove the reflector by prising up the rear clips and sliding
the reflector from the moulded brackets.
XENON STROBE BEACON INSTALLATION
The black cable should be connected to a reliable earth point. Or directly connected
to battery negative.
The red cable should be connected to battery positive via a suitable relay and a 10A
fuse. The Xenon beacon is dual voltage and the current rating is 4A at 12vdc and 2A
at 24vdc.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
The internal parts of the Xenon beacon operate with output voltages of 400V to
600V. Contact with live parts inside the beacon lens may cause serious injury
or death.
Before removing the lens, isolate the beacon from the power supply and wait
10 minutes for the capacitor to discharge before attempting any works.
XENON TUBE REPLACEMENT
Xenon tubes are replaced by unplugging the tube from the base socket and plugging
in the replacement. Beacons, which have the original tubes, will have a transit
security strap holding the tube in place. Cut the strap and remove prior to
withdrawing tube. The strap does not need to be replaced.
Note that the Xenon power supply has an in-line fuse located in the supply cable
inside the beacon. In the event of the unit failing to operate, check the fuse is intact.
The power supply is not user serviceable.
CLEANING
Wiping with detergent/water mixture can clean the beacon. Do not use abrasive or
solvent-based cleaners.
