ArrowStik® Modules:
Selecting the ArrowStik® Pattern:
The Central Controller is designed to offer user selectable traffi c directing and traffi c warning fl ash patterns. Each of
the ArrowStik functions (LEFT, CENTER-OUT, RIGHT or FLASH) can be programmed individually for unique patterns
and fl ash rates. This allows the greatest fl exibility when controlling the various light bar confi gurations available. The
light bar will come from the factory with the Building pattern as the default for LEFT, CENTER-OUT and RIGHT. The
default pattern for FLASH is the Standard Flash. If it is desired to change the pattern for any of the functions, follow the
programming procedure below.
STEP 1:
Power-up the light bar. Apply +power to the appropiate wire for the ArrowStik function that you wish to program (LEFT -
RED, CENTER-OUT - RED and ORG, RIGHT - ORG or FLASH - WHT). Programming will not work if more than one
function is selected at a time.
STEP 2:
Continue applying power to the wire from Step 1. Refer to Table 6 for the available fl ash patterns.
To increment to the next pattern, momentarily hold the BLK/RED wire to +power for less than two seconds and then
release. The four corner light heads will turn on steady to indicate that the pattern has been incremented.
To decrement to the previous pattern, momentarily hold the BLK/RED wire to +power for two to four seconds and
then release. The four corner light heads will turn on steady and then turn off to indicate that the pattern has been
decremented.
After the pattern selection wire has been released, the new pattern will begin to fl ash and is automatically stored each
time.
Notice that for the LEFT, CENTER-OUT and RIGHT functions there are four pattern choices (Building, Building with 3
Flash, Traveling Ball with 3 fl ash, and Build/Collapse) and three speeds (Fast, Medium and Slow). There are a total of
twelve possible selections for each function and then you return to the top selection.
For the FLASH function there are nine traffi c warning patterns available. Flash patterns marked with an asterisk “*” can
be selected in Fast, Medium or Slow fl ash rate.
NOTE: To restore the Factory Default ArrowStik Flash Pattern for any traffi c direction mode, hold the BLK/RED
wire to +power for more than four seconds. The four corner light heads will turn on steady, turn off and then turn
on steady again to indicate that the Factory Default ArrowStik Flash Pattern has been restored. Only the traffi c
direction mode that is activated will be restored.
STEP 3:
Repeat steps 1 through 2 for the other ArrowStik functions as desired.
