ArrowStik® Pattern Selection
The 21TR Plus™ is designed to offer user selectable traffic directing signals and traffic warning options.
This allows the greatest flexibility when controlling the various configurations available. The end user can match the desired sig-
nal to a particular light bar configuration whether it is a 5, 6, 7, or 8 light head configuration. The light bar will come from the fac-
tory with the Building Fast default pattern for the ArrowStik configuration you ordered. If it is desired to change the pattern in any
of the modes (LEFT, CTR, RIGHT or FLASH) follow the programming procedure outlined. Reference Table 5 for flash patterns.

Signal Options for ArrowStik® Control
As mentioned previously, the 21TR Plus TM will come from the factory with the ArrowStik patterns set in the default configuration,
which is the Building Fast configuration. The current configuration can be determined by observing the operation of the ArrowStik
unit. Note that FLASH Signal Patterns marked with an Asterisk "*" are available in Fast, Medium or Slow flash rate.
Note: It will be important to observe the operation of the ArrowStik unit during the programming procedure while stepping
through the signal options. Signals are available for 5, 6, 7, or 8 head configurations. Also refer to the traffic directing
signal options in Table 2 for the following procedure.
The Pattern Select wire is the BLK/RED wire in the sixteen conductor light bar control cable and is activated by momentarily touching
the wire to +12V.
Step 1
Power-up the light bar by connecting the Red wire to +12V and the Black wire to ground. Select the ArrowStik mode that you wish to
program (LEFT, CENTER-OUT, RIGHT or FLASH).
Step 2
Observe the ArrowStik operation and determine the current mode. Determine what pattern and configuration the control head is cur-
rently in, if not in the factory default. Once the pattern / configuration have been determined, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3
Refer to Table 5, above. This table shows the available patterns for each mode and their order in program memory. Notice that for
the LEFT, CENTER-OUT and RIGHT positions there are four (4) pattern choices; Building, Building with 3 Flash for the end lights,
Traveling Ball with 3 flash for the end lights and Build/Collapse, four (4) configurations for the number of heads; 5, 6, 7, or 8HD and
three (3) speeds; Fast, Medium and Slow. There are a total of twelve possible selections for each configuration of light heads and
then you return to the top selection, Building Fast. Starting from the first pattern in Table 5 you can step through each pattern, ( 1-4 )
for an 8HD, ( 5-8 ) for a 7HD, ( 9-12 ) for a 6HD, and (13-16) for a 5 HD configuration, by momentarily holding the Pattern Select wire
to +power for 1-2 seconds, until the ArrowStik light heads stop, and then releasing. This will step to the next pattern in Table 5 for the
selected mode. The new pattern is automatically stored each time.
