Star Headlight & Lantern 6464LED-48 " M-Tech PLUS LED Lightbar - Manual (Page 6)

-3-
All standard lightbar models are designed for 12VDC negative ground vehicles
only. Reverse polarity will cause serious damage to the lightbar and/or vehicle.
Contact the automotive dealer if there are any doubts about the polarity of your vehicle.
Please review the separate Mounting Bracket manual
that is also enclosed with your bar for mounting
If the wire supplied is too short, Star recommends direct wiring to the terminal block on
the inside of the lightbar, rather than making connections to the end of the wire that is
supplied. This lightbar is designed so that no wire connectors are needed and only a few
common tools are necessary in order to do this. Direct wiring allows the wire connections
to the lightbar to be made in a clean and dry environment, avoiding any problems that may
arise due to weathering on external connections. There is also an increase in voltage loss
with the addition of each connection. Wiring directly inside the lightbar reduces the number
of connections. However, making connections to the wires already provided is an
acceptable alternative, as long as these connections are good electrical connections and
are resistant from weathering effects. For direct wiring into the lightbar, follow the
instructions listed below.
Direct Wiring Guide
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using the existing wire harness supplied with the lightbar,
you may skip to the Electrical Connections section on page 4.
Step 3
Step 2
1. Determine the number of wires that you will need to run. Your lightbar may not use all of
the wires in the harness that was shipped with the lightbar. Please note which functions
your bar has, then review the lists on pages 1-2 to determine which wires you will need
to connect. The bare drain wire in our harness is optional (but recommended) and is
only necessary if you are experiencing RFI problems.
2. Locate the end of the lightbar that has the external wires entering the base of the
lightbar. The black terminal block(s), which you will be making your wire terminations
to, should also be located at this same end.
3. Remove the outer
dome to expose the
terminal block.
Step 1 : Remove the
two screws holding
the endcap to the
lightbar base.
Step 2 : Loosen the two screws that are
holding the dome to the center
divider section.
Step 3 : Slide the dome (with the attached
endcap) off the end of the base,
exposing the interior components.
Step 4 : When all work is completed, reverse the steps to reinstall
the dome, taking care that the gasket is properly aligned.
