Wiring Instructions
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.
Mounting Instructions
Please review the separate Mounting Bracket manual that
is also enclosed with your bar for mounting instructions.
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 into which the wire harness runs. 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 dome lens at this end of the lightbar:
Step A: Loosen the four screws holding each dome on.
Step B: Lift the dome off of the base
exposing the interior components.
Step C: When all work is
completed, reverse
the steps to reinstall
the dome, taking
care that the gasket
is properly aligned.
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.
