Carefully read the instructions in this manual. Dispose of the product in accordance with applicable law. For further information please contact Pacific Scientific EMC at 480-763-3000. 1-1. Description The NightHawk® Remote Tire Deflation Device is a self-contained device that enables law enforcement officers to deploy a Stop Stick® tire deflation strip using a hand-held remote control. The ability to deploy the Stop Stick® remotely provides additional security and safety for the law enforcement officer. The NightHawk® unit is positioned beside the roadway ahead of the suspect vehicle. When the vehicle approaches, the officer activates the unit using a trigger on the hand-held remote, launching the Stop Sticks® across the roadway. Once the suspect vehicle has passed, the officer uses the trigger a second time to retract the Stop Sticks®, allowing pursuit vehicles to pass safely. 1-2. How It Works NightHawk® utilizes a gas generator cartridge similar to the ones used to quickly inflate automotive airbags. The gas generator cartridge is contained in the launch tube assembly. The launch tube assembly propels a weighted sack (called a drogue) across the roadway. As the drogue is launched, it pulls a nylon sleeve containing 10 Stop Sticks® with it. The entire action is accomplished in less than two seconds. After the suspect vehicle has passed, the hand-held remote trigger activates a small electrically-powered winch that pulls the Stop Sticks® out of the roadway permitting pursuit vehicles and other traffic to pass without tire deflation. iv

Improper use of the NightHawk® can result in damage to property and/or serious injury or death. 2-1. Proper Use of the Device The NightHawk® device should only be used under conditions that present the least possible risk to law enforcement officers, the general public, and suspects. Officers should be fully trained in the correct operation of the device. Deployment of the NightHawk® should only be executed in accordance with the policies and procedures of your agency. 2-2. Situation Considerations There are other factors besides location that should be considered before deploying the NightHawk®. One key factor is speed. When placing the device be mindful of surroundings especially near an active roadway. The user should look for forward markers to determine where the position of the target vehicle will pass to properly time deployment of the Stop Sticks, allowing for the 2 second deploy. The table below shows the approximate lead distance for placement of the device relative to vehicle speeds. 2-3. Location Considerations There are a number of factors that should be considered before using the NightHawk®. The location selected for deployment plays a key role in the success or failure of the operation. The following factors should be considered: ● Traffic Control: The NightHawk® should only be deployed in locations where traffic is controlled, and access is limited to the suspect vehicle and pursuit vehicles. Avoid deploying the device in locations where normal public traffic might interfere with the operation. ● Road Surface: The Stop Stick® tire deflation sticks work in a variety of terrain. ● Visibility: The NightHawk® should be located such that officers can clearly observe the roadway a considerable distance before and after the deployment zone. ● Potential Avoidance: The Stop Sticks® should be deployed in a location that will make it difficult for the suspect vehicle to avoid the device. Officers should try to position the device where the vehicle cannot easily drive off the roadway or turn onto another roadway to avoid the Stop Sticks®. ● Safety of the General Public: For maximum safety, it is recommended that officers deploy NightHawk® away from the general public to minimize the risk to bystanders. ● Obstructions: Avoid deploying the device in locations where the suspect vehicle could lose control and crash into buildings or structures.
NightHawk® Remote Tire Deflation Device 3 2-4. Placement on the Roadway Figure 2A illustrates the proper placement of the NightHawk® unit beside the roadway. The important factor is the distance from the edge of the roadway. The unit should be 12 feet from the edge of the target lane. The tether for the nylon sleeve is 12 feet long (null zone). There are no Stop Sticks® in the 12 foot null zone. NOTE: The Null Zone provides an additional safe distance for the Officer and the NightHawk® from oncoming traffic.
