Code 3 RX 2700CC - Manual (Page 8)

Selecting the ArrowStik ™ Pattern
As mentioned previously, the Central Controller will come from the factory with the ArrowStik patterns set in the default configuration which, is the
Building 7HD configuration. See Table 2. 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 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 lightbar control cable and is activated by momentarily touching the wire to
+power.
STEP 1
Power-up the lightbar and 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 currently in, if not in
the factory default.
Once the pattern / configuration has been determined, proceed to Step 3.
STEP 3
Refer to Table 2, on Page 8. 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, Build/Collapse with 3 flash
for the end lights, and Build/Collapse with no end flash, three (3) configurations for the number of heads; 6, 7, or 8 HD 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 8 HD, Fast. Starting from the first pattern in Table 1 you can step through each pattern, ( 1-4 ) for an 8HD, ( 5-8 ) for a 6HD and ( 9-12 ) for
a 7 HD configuration, by momentarily holding the Pattern Select wire to +power for 1-2 sec, until the Arrowstik™ LEDs stop, and then releasing. This
will step to the next pattern in Table 2 for the selected mode. The new pattern is automatically stored each time.
Note: HOLD the Pattern Select wire to +POWER source until you are sure Arrowstik™ pattern has changed (~1 second) before releasing
the wire from the +POWER source. To restore the Factory Default Arrowstik™ patterns, hold the PGM wire on the +POWER source for
~four (4) seconds .
When the FLSH function is selected, the same procedure applies as above, but you will notice in Table 2 that the patterns are not grouped by the
number of heads or outputs. These are traffic warning patterns and work equally well for any configuration of LED modules. There are a total of
nine ( 1-9 ) traffic warning patterns available. Flash patterns marked with an asterisk "*" may also be selectable in Fast, Medium or Slow flash rate.
When you have programmed the desired pattern for the selected function, proceed to Step 4.
STEP 4
Select another mode and repeat the previous steps until all of the functions are programmed as desired.
