56-series 12-Volt Compartment Light

Safety First

This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed. Before beginning the installation

and/or operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must read this manual completely. Important information is contained

herein that could prevent serious injury or damage.

Installation...

CAUTION! Mounting this light will require drilling into its mounting surface. It is

absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle components could be

damaged in the process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before starting.

If damage is likely, select a different mounting location.

1. Position the base reflector onto its proposed mounting surface. Locate the 3 mounting

holes shown.

2. Using an awl or other suitable tool, scribe the surface where the mounting hole are to

be drilled. Use the base as a guide.

3. Carefully drill the mounting holes in the areas scribed in step 2. The size of the drill bit

should be determined by the size of the mounting hardware (#6 x 3/4” PPHSMS) and

the thickness of the mounting surface.

4. After the mounting holes have been drilled, position the mounting gasket onto the

mounting surface. Insert the mounting screws through the holes in this gasket and into

the mounting surface to hold the gasket in place.

5. Locate the wire passage hole in the gasket. Scribe a mark on the mounting surface at

the location of this hole. Remove the gasket from the mounting surface.

Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good

understanding of automotive electronics, systems and procedures.

If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that

no vehicle components or other vital parts could be damaged by the drilling

process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling begins. Also

de-burr any holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets

into all wire passage holes.

Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air

bag. Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage

or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could

cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for

the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to

determine proper mounting location, based on providing ultimate safety to all

passengers inside the vehicle.

For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to

chassis ground must be made. The recommended procedure requires the

product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE (-) battery post.

If this product uses a remote device to activate or control this product, make sure

that this control is located in an area that allows both the vehicle and the control

to be operated safely in any driving condition.

Do not attempt to activate or control this device in a hazardous driving situation.

This product contains either strobe light(s), halogen light(s), high-intensity

LEDs or a combination of these lights. Do not stare directly into these lights.

Momentary blindness and/or eye damage could result.

Use only soap and water to clean the outer lens. Use of other chemicals could

result in premature lens cracking (crazing) and discoloration. Lenses in this

condition have significantly reduced effectiveness and should be replaced

immediately. Inspect and operate this product regularly to confirm its proper

operation and mounting condition. Do not use a pressure washer to clean this

product.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD

RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT OR VEHICLE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY

TO YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS!

WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive (+) terminal

of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the maximum operating

current and “at the battery” to carry that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT

BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!

FUSED

6. Using a 3/8” (.375”) drill bit, drill a wire passage hole into the mounting surface at the

area scribed in step 5. After drilling, de-burr and grommet (customer supplied) this hole.

7. Route the RED and BLACK lamp wires through the wire passage hole in the mounting

gasket. Using appropriately sized wires, extend the RED lamp wire to a switched,

+12VDC power source capable of accommodating an additional 2 Amp load. Extend

the BLACK wire to chassis ground.

8. Feed all excess wire through the cable access hole away from the lamp base. Do not

allow any wires between the surface and gasket. Test the lamp for proper operation

before proceeding.

9. Position the mounting gasket and lamp base onto the mounting surface. Secure the

base to the surface using the provided hardware. Mount the lens onto the base and

secure using the #10 x 5/8” PPHSMS.

All customer supplied wires, that connect to the positive terminal of the battery,

must be sized to supply at least 125% of the maximum operating current, & fused at

the battery to carry the load.
