Setup and Installation
The Apollo 8 warning light offers two primary mounting options: permanent surface mount or pipe mount.
Permanent Surface Mount
- Choose a flat, stable surface on your vehicle for mounting. Ensure the location provides clear 360° visibility.
- Use the provided rubber gasket as a template to mark the drilling locations for the mounting screws.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
- Secure the light base to the surface using the provided mounting hardware (screws, washers, nuts). Ensure a tight fit to prevent vibration.
- Route the power wires to the vehicle's electrical system. Connect the positive wire (typically red) to a switched 12-60V DC power source via the in-line fuse holder. Connect the negative wire (typically black) to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
- Ensure all wire connections are secure and protected from moisture and abrasion.
Pipe Mount
- Identify a suitable pipe or pole for mounting. The light is designed to fit standard pipe sizes.
- Use the provided hardware to secure the light base to the pipe.
- Route the power wires and connect them as described in the Permanent Surface Mount section.
Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with vehicle electrical systems.
Operating Instructions
The Wolo Apollo 8 features eight (8) selectable warning light patterns.
- Once the light is powered on, it will activate in the last selected flash pattern.
- To change the flash pattern, momentarily press the pattern selection button (located on the unit or via a control wire).
- Each press of the button will cycle to the next available warning light pattern.
- Release the button when the desired pattern is displayed. The light will retain this pattern until changed again or power is disconnected.
