You can synchronize two flashers and/or other lights that use the system.


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 LDF300 flasher with another LDF300 flasher, or synchronizing it
with any of our other products (i.e. DLX units, 9016LED minibars, and 255HTCL
beacons), please note the following:

All units that are to be synchronized MUST have the same Pattern Type.

To check pattern compatibility with other
“synchronizable” 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 in each of our different
lights, Flash Patterns 6-10 (Pattern Types
F, G, H, I, & J) are the patterns fully
compatible with ALL of our other
“synchronizable” products.

1. Determine whether you want the two heads attached to your LDF300 flasher unit to flash

alternately or simultaneously (Review the diagram on the bottom of the previous page for
examples of Alternating and Simultaneous flashing).

2. Review the Pattern List for each product you will be synchronizing, noting the Pattern Type

for each product.

3. Select a Pattern Type that is compatible with all of the flasher units/lights 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 in 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.


PATTERN COMPATIBILITY





LDF300: All Patterns

DLX Series: Pattern Types F, G, H, I, J

9016LED: Pattern Types

F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O

255HTCL: Pattern Types F, G, H, I, J

3. Once you have found the desired pattern, tape off or place a wirenut over the end of the

green wire to prevent it from coming into contact with ground again. The light will
“remember” the pattern when switched off and that pattern will be displayed the next time
the light is switched on.

If you ARE NOT synchronizing two units, you are finished programming.
