Introduction

The Excalibur

Light Bar is a dual-level light bar that is approximately 4 1/2" 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 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 Excalibur 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 Excalibur has room for an incredible number of options:

standard or high speed rotators, an OsciLaser

in the top deck, alley lights and intersections 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 Excalibur offers the ultimate flexibility in the location of warning and auxiliary lights.

The use of this or any warning device does not ensure 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.

Code 3, 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

EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY

PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
