SoundOff Signal Pinnacle LED - Manual (Page 12)

IMPORTANT: When passing cables through firewall or other sheet
metal, insert grommet to protect the cable!
2. Install a 40Amp Fuse (customer supplied) to the end of the RED wire of the Lightbar Power Cable.
a. Remove the fuse before connecting any wires to the battery.
b. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSIBLE LINK.
3. Connect the other end of the Fuse to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery.
a. Do NOT use any more than 2ft of wire between the battery terminal and the fuse and ensure the wire is protected
and secured from being cut into; this is non-fused wire.
4. Connect the BLACK wire to the factory chassis ground right next to the battery.
Control (Data) Cable:
1. Route Lightbar Control Cable to the location where all controlling equipment will be, i.e. switch box, center console area.
2. Locate the Breakout Box in the same area to connect jumpers from the switching equipment to the breakout box.
NOTE: Power is supplied to Breakout Box through data cable, no additional power connections necessary.
Initial Power up Test:
1. Insert 40Amp Fuse into Fuse Holder.
2. Plug data jack into Data 1 connector of the breakout box (Data 2 may also be used, but is for future use.)
3. Observe the GREEN Data Link indicator LED on the Breakout Box; the LED will turn steady ON about 15 seconds after main
power is connected
4. When GREEN LED is steady ON (see below), the lightbar is ready to be configured.
Low Power (Standby) Mode
If there is no input to the breakout box for 15 seconds, the lightbar will go into a “standby” mode. The standby mode is a low power mode that is
used to extend the life of your battery. The green light will turn off when the lightbar enters standby mode. The red light will flash every five
seconds showing that it has power. The lightbar will awaken from the standby mode if any input is activated on the breakout box.
*note in standby mode each switch in the down position will contribute to another 0.03A of standby current.
Pattern Selection:
a. First review the Pattern Table (included on pg. 13) before attempting pattern selection to familiarize yourself with patterns
available for the different Functions
i. Depending on the Lightbar configuration purchased, the Arrow Pattern Table may or may not be applicable.
b. Select the Input Function(s) on breakout box (pg. 12) and apply +12V to activate.
i. To change patterns on more than one input function, simply connect desired input functions together. Before doing
this, make sure all the inputs are using the same pattern table and are on the same pattern to make pattern
identification easier.
c. Momentarily apply +12V to the pattern select input on breakout box to advance to the next pattern. See Flash Pattern
Table (pg .13).
i. Once the last pattern is reached, the next pattern advance will cycle back to Pattern #1.
d. Once the desired pattern is reached, simply disconnect the Input Function(s) and proceed to the next Input Function(s)
to be configured.
i. The pattern is saved in non-volatile memory every time it is advanced.
Mode Configuration: See Mode Input on Function Description Table (attached sheet) for more details about this feature.
a. Mode 1 (Default): the Mode Select Input will be floating (no-connection)
i. Continue on to Pattern Selection instructions below to set the patterns for this Mode
b. Mode 2: apply +12V to activate Mode 2. This will need to be activated to configure the Lightbar in Mode 2
i. Continue on to Pattern Selection instructions below to set the patterns for this Mode
ii. Once patterns have been setup, connect Mode Select Input to switching system.
iii. When the Mode Select Input is activated, the Mode 2 Patterns will flash.
Cruise Mode Configuration: See Cruise Mode Input on Function Description Table (attached sheet) for more details about this
Feature.
a. Apply +12V to activate Cruise Mode for configuration setup.
b. Determine what Input Function(s) are desired to use Cruise Mode.
c. Apply +12V to the Input Function(s) desired.
i. NOTE: Lights will flash preset flash pattern
d. With both the Cruise Mode Input and the Input Function(s) activated, momentarily apply +12V to
the pattern select wire to toggle the Cruise Mode to ON (default is OFF).
e. Observe the OFF sequence of the flash pattern is ON dim.
f. Disconnect the Input Function wire(s) (while leaving cruise mode input active) and observe the lightbar is NOT flashing, but
the output function(s) recently set are glowing steady.
