5. Setup and Installation
The ED3080AW is designed for surface mount installation. Proper wiring is crucial for correct functionality.
5.1 Mounting
- Choose a flat, stable surface on the vehicle that allows for optimal visibility and adheres to local regulations for warning lights.
- Mark the drilling points for the mounting screws based on the light's dimensions (6.4"L x 1.3"W x 2"H).
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, ensuring not to damage any underlying vehicle components or wiring.
- Secure the light using appropriate fasteners. Ensure a tight fit to prevent vibration and moisture ingress.
5.2 Wiring
The light features a connector for ground, stop/turn, and tail functions. Refer to the vehicle's wiring diagram and the light's specific wiring instructions for correct connections.
- Ground: Connect the ground wire from the light to a suitable chassis ground point on the vehicle.
- Stop/Turn: Connect the stop/turn wire from the light to the vehicle's stop/turn signal circuit.
- Tail: Connect the tail light wire from the light to the vehicle's tail light circuit.
- Reverse/Warning: The clear center LEDs function as reverse and warning lights. Connect the corresponding wire to the vehicle's reverse light circuit and/or a dedicated warning light switch, depending on desired operation.
Note: Professional installation is recommended for complex wiring setups.
6. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and wired, the ECCO ED3080AW light will operate in conjunction with the vehicle's electrical system.
- Tail Light Function: When the vehicle's tail lights are activated, the red perimeter LEDs will illuminate steadily.
- Stop Light Function: When the vehicle's brakes are applied, the red perimeter LEDs will illuminate brightly.
- Turn Signal Function: When the vehicle's turn signal is activated, the red perimeter LEDs on the corresponding side will flash.
- Reverse Light Function: When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the clear center LEDs will illuminate.
- Warning Light Function: If wired to a separate switch, the clear center LEDs can be activated to provide warning light patterns. The ED3000 series offers various flash patterns for warning applications. Consult the specific wiring diagram for pattern selection if applicable to your model.
7. Maintenance
The ECCO ED3080AW LED light is designed for minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Clean the lens periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to ensure maximum light output. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check mounting hardware for tightness and wiring connections for corrosion or damage.
- LED Longevity: The high-output LEDs are designed for a long operational life, typically requiring no replacement during the product's lifespan.
8. Troubleshooting
If the light is not functioning correctly, perform the following basic checks:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not illuminate | No power supply; Loose or incorrect wiring; Blown fuse | Check vehicle's power supply; Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct; Check and replace vehicle's fuse if necessary. |
| Incorrect function (e.g., only tail light works) | Incorrect wiring for specific functions | Review wiring diagram and ensure correct wires are connected to the corresponding vehicle circuits (stop/turn, tail, reverse/warning). |
| Light flickers or is dim | Poor electrical connection; Insufficient voltage | Check all connections for corrosion or looseness; Verify vehicle's voltage supply is within 12-24 VDC range. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact ECCO customer support.
