Progressive vs. Independent Switching

Depending on how the blue, orange, and yellow activation wires are connected, different levels of control are

possible. For example, activating the blue wire allows a flash pattern to be set. Activating the blue + orange

wires allows a different pattern to be set. Activating only the orange wire allows yet another to be set. Seven
combinations are possible.

Flash Pattern Selection

(Very important - read carefully)

Energize (+12VDC) to the red wire and ground the black wire. Energize the activation wires desired to begin

flashing the lightheads. Observe the flash pattern (Default). Change the flash pattern as follows:

If touched for

0-2 seconds, the lighthead will steady burn dimly and the next pattern in line will begin when

the green wire is deactivated.

If touched for

2-4 seconds, the lightheads will shut off and the previous pattern will begin when the green

wire is deactivated.

If touched for

more than 4 seconds, the lightheads will shut off and then turn on again. All patterns will

be reset to factory default.

The pattern that is selected will be stored even when power is removed.

There are 16 patterns for single color models and 47 for multi-color models. Alternating refers to a pair of

lights flashing together while simultaneous refers to all heads (of the same color) flashing together.

Diagnostic Test

There is also a diagnostic test that can be run using the Green pattern change wire. Apply +12V to the Green

wire (only). The lights will turn on one at a time and then turn off. Note that it can only be activated by apply-

ing power to the Green wire at start up. If the unit has been energized with any other wire, power needs to be

removed entirely from the light bar before applying power to the Green wire to enter into this mode again.

Dimming Operation

The DuoBeam can be operated in a low power "Dimming" mode. Dimming is controlled by connecting the

White wire to +12VDC. When Dimming is engaged, the lighheads will operate in reduced power mode.
