(Strobe Pack Connections For Lightbars With Linear Heads CONT’D)
Lightbars with Ten or Twelve Linear Strobe Heads
(Pictured above is one example of a bar with 12 linear strobe heads)
Four wires in your cable harness control the strobe power supplies and the strobe heads connected
to them: The functions of those wires are as follows:
Red - Front Linear Strobe Heads On/Off
Red w/Black Stripe - Rear Linear Strobe Heads On/Off
Red w/White Stripe - Constant Power (+12 VDC) for Center Strobe Pack
Red w/Green Stripe - Pattern Select
Activating Front and Rear Strobes Separately
(RECOMMENDED FOR MOST APPLICATIONS)
To turn on your front strobe heads
separately from your rear strobes,
connect the Red w/White Stripe wire to
constant +12VDC.
Please Note: When the Red w/White
Stripe wire is connected to +12VDC the
pack will draw a small current (50 mA). If
your vehicle will be sitting for extended
periods of time (i.e. more than a few days),
it is recommended the Red w/White Stripe
wire be routed through a switch or a high-
current ignition switched relay.
Then connect the Red and Red w/Black
Stripe wires through two separate
switches. When one switch is thrown,
only the front strobes will flash. (#1 & #4
will alternate with #2 & #3). When the
other switch is thrown the rear strobes will flash.
Activating All Strobe Heads Together
To turn on all of the strobe heads in your
lightbar together, connect the Red, Red
w/Black Stripe, and Red w/White Stripe
wires together through your switch.
When the switch is thrown, all of your
strobes will flash. (#1 & #4 will alternate
with #2 & #3).
Please note: For this application,
your switch MUST be able to handle
30 amps. This configuration is
usually not recommended, since
most switches are not capable of
handling such a heavy load.
