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 manufacturerís 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 userís responsibil- ity 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, assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. Introduction The NightProbe , NP 130, product is a remote control spotlight that delivers more signal power and versatility than any other spotlight product. Its low profile aerodynamic lines reduce air drag, which results in fuel savings and stability at high speeds. This product is made of shock-resistant high-temperature engineering thermoplastics and provides a warning signal that exceeds SAE standards. The NightProbe and its mounting system is designed to operate in many different locations including on the driver side, passenger side or center of the automobile hood rear lip. Unpacking & Pre-installation Remove the spotlight from the box and examine the unit for transit damage. Refer to parts list to insure that all parts are present for installation. Installation & Mounting 1. Attach suction cup to bottom of mounting bracket with the #10 self tapping screw, do not over tighten. 2. Route the cables from the bottom of the spotlight through the mounting bracket as shown in Figure 1. 3. Attach bracket to spotlight with four round hd phillips 6-20 x 3/8" SS as shown in Figure 1. 4. Choose a location where the spotlight is to be mounted. 5. Lay out the cable to insure that there is an adequate amount to reach the area in which the controller is to be mounted. 6. Fold wires into pocket of bracket in between the two mounting screws 7. Push bracket over lip of the hood and push down on suction cup 8. Tighten screws under hood until bracket is snug. WARNING! ! Vehicle Figure 1 For proper bracket alignment make sure that the mark is to rear of NightProbe as shown. 3 Connect the red and black wires from the NightProbe spotlight as shown in Figure 2. Protect the circuit with a 15 Amp fuse and use 14 awg (minimum) wire. Connect the white wire from the unit to an ignition switched circuit protected by a fuse (3 Amp Max.). Use a 22 awg. (minimum) wire. (see notes page 7) Failure to connect the wiring as stated above could cause damage to the unit. The NightProbe spotlight must never have its lamp on when its head is in the closed position (as shown in Figure 2). The extreme heat of the 100W lamp will damage the unit base. Wiring Instructions ! Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. High ambient temperatures (e.g. under-hood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. Use "SXL" type wire in engine compartment. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity. Ground terminations should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery. The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of the maximum amp capacity in the supply line and each switched circuit to protect against short circuits. WARNING! IMPORTANT: ! Any electronic device may create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. After installation of any electronic device, operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of interference. WARNING!

REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL INFORMATION In order for processing of this application (FCC ID: PSSNP130W) to continue, the following issue(s) will have to be addressed: 1) In the test report (B10720D1), there is conflicting information. On pages 4 and 14, it states that the frequency range was investigated up to 3.2 GHz. On the data sheet in Appendix D, it states that the frequency range was investigated up to 4.2 GHz. Please provide a statement indicating the exact frequency range that was investigated. 2) The duty cycle plot states that the worst case duty cycle is 48%. A 48% duty cycle would cause the device to be in violation of the FCC rules by approximately 10 dB. On the data sheets in the test report (B10720D1), it states that the device has a 15% duty cycle. Please provide a statement that the duty cycle will not exceed 15%, and/or a plot of the actual worst case duty cycle. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. PLEASE SEND RESPONSE TO: [email protected] and [email protected]. The item(s) indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information within 60 days of the original e-mail date may result in application dismissal and forfeiture of the filing fee. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to [email protected]. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

On pages 4 and 14, it states that the frequency range was investigated up to 3.2 GHz. On the data sheet in Appendix D, it states that the frequency range was investigated up to 4.2 GHz. Please provide a statement indicating the exact frequency range that was investigated. Response: The exact frequency range tested was up to 4.2 GHz as shown on the data sheet. The test report on pages 4 and 14 was NOT updated (forgot to change) to reflect this. The data sheet was made up right after the testing. Sorry about this. 2) The duty cycle plot states that the worst case duty cycle is 48%. A 48% duty cycle would cause the device to be in violation of the FCC rules by approximately 10 dB. On the data sheets in the test report (B10720D1), it states that the device has a 15% duty cycle. Please provide a statement that the duty cycle will not exceed 15%, and/or a plot of the actual worst case duty cycle. Response: Somehow the wrong duty cycle plot was sent. Attached will be the correct duty cycle plot showing that it is less than 15% (14.17%). The attachment is in *.PDF. Thank you, Kyle Fujimoto [email protected] Compatible Electronics -- Brea Division
