You can synchronize up to six total approved lights.
If you will be synchronizing two or more units together, leave the white wires
disconnected until programming for each has been completed. Connect the
white wires from the units together ONLY AFTER PROGRAMMING them
all for the same Pattern Type (Phase MAY differ).
If you will be synchronizing your light with any of our products, please note the
following:
• All units that are to be synchronized MUST have the same Pattern Type.
• To check pattern compatibility with other “S-Link” products, review the Pattern List for each
product, noting the Pattern Type. Certain patterns are compatible with some lights, but not
compatible with others.
• Although the programmable Flash Patterns can vary between our different lights, Pattern
Types F, G, H, I, & J are fully compatible patterns with ALL of our other “S-Link” products.
1. Determine whether you want the two lights to flash alternately or simultaneously (Review the
diagram below for examples of Alternating and Simultaneous flashing).
2. Review the Pattern List for each synchronized product, noting the Pattern Type for each
product.
3. Select a Pattern Type that is compatible with all of the lights/flashers you will be synchronizing.
4. Program each light according to the instructions enclosed with each. For lights that have
patterns with a Phase: All lights programmed for the same Phase will flash ON and OFF at
the same time (flash simultaneously). Lights that are programmed for different phases will flash
opposite one another (alternate).
5. After you have the correct patterns programmed for ALL of the lights you wish to
synchronize, turn all of the lights off and connect the white wires from all units together.
6. Power all of the lights
up at the exact same
time to verify they are
flashing in the desired
pattern. Power MUST
be applied to all
synchronized lights
simultaneously.
Excessive switch
bounce or
attempting to power
the units up
independently will
result in erratic
operation.
