Before changing the pattern, please review these key points about programming the lightbar:

• The lightbar consists of two separate circuits. One circuit controls the driver's side and the

other circuit controls the passenger's side.

• The driver's side circuit and passenger's side circuit are programmed with different wires.

The colors will vary depending upon your harness. Review the chart on pages 1-2 that
corresponds to your harness to identify the color of each of the programming wires.

• The two sides are usually programmed at the same time by connecting the two pattern

programming wires together. The only exception typically will be when you wish to set the
two sides for patterns that differ from one another.

• The default pattern for this lightbar will produce a Quadflash with Post Pop pattern that

alternates between the two halves of both the passenger side and driver side.


1. Connect both the Driver Side and Passenger Side Pattern Select wires together.

2. Power up the light so that it is flashing.

3. Touch and hold the Pattern Select Wires to +12-24VDC for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the

light should blink once and you should release the Pattern Select wires. This will set both
circuits to Pattern 1 (Alternating Flicker).

4. Touch the Pattern Select wires to +12-24VDC for one second and release them to scroll

through the patterns listed on the following page. The cycle will repeat itself after the last
pattern.

5. Once you find the pattern you wish to display, connect the Pattern Select wires to

ground and deactivate the light. This will store the selected pattern.

Restoring the Factory Default Pattern(s)

If you wish to set the lightbar back to the factory default pattern(s), proceed below:

1. Follow Steps 1-2 above.

2. Instead of holding both Pattern Select wires to +12-24VDC for three seconds, as

indicated in Step 3 above, hold them to +12-24VDC for 6 seconds.

3. After 6 seconds, the light will blink twice.

4. Release the Pattern Select wires and both circuits will be programmed for Pattern 6

(Alternating Quadflash).

5. Touch the Pattern Select wires to +12-24VDC for one second and release them. This

will advance the circuits to Pattern 7 (Alternating Quadflash with Post Pop).

6. Connect the Pattern Select wires to ground and deactivate the light. This will store the

selected pattern(s).

Programming Shortcuts

For quicker programming, you can skip directly to specific patterns in the programming
sequence. Touch and hold the Pattern Select wires to +12/24VDC for the length of
time that corresponds to the pattern you would like to jump to. Then release the
Pattern Select wires once the light blinks the appropriate number of times.
