A. The RP242, RP244, and RP906 paks allow the user to select the flash characteristics that
will be exhibited by the power pak, including flash patterns and head selectability. Refer to
the table below for proper connection of the correct CTRL wires to +12 VDC required to
achieve the desired flash characteristic(s).
B. Please be sure that the power
(+12VDC) connected to the
CTRL wires is switched by the
main power switch to your pak.
Applying constant voltage to the
wires from the CTRL plug, while
the pak is switched off, may
result in damage to the circuitry
of the pak and will void the
warranty.
C. Using the correct table to the
right which corresponds to your
Optimax power pak, select your
desired f lash pattern and note
which wires are necessary to
connect to +12VDC.
D. Connect the wires you have
noted from the table on the right
to the switched +12VDC power
supply. This is the wire that the
red wire from your power plug is
also connected to (terminal 2 of
SW 1 in the figure on the bottom
of page 3). This will apply
+12VDC to those CTRL wires
only when the pak is switched
on.
* Star Headlight does not
recommend the use of the
Alternating Quadflash pattern
for “Hide-Away” applications utilizing only two heads in headlights or taillights. The
heat generated by both the strobes and your pre-existing lighting can damage your
vehicle and/or lighting system. When utilizing only two outputs from the RP244 and
RP906 for hide-away applica tions, Star recommends using a “simultaneous” flashing
pattern (both strobes flashing at the same time), or using a double or tripleflash mode.
WARNING: DO NOT
USE THE FIVE FLASH
PATTERN IF YOU
ONLY ARE
CONNECTING TWO
HEADS TO THE RP244
OR RP906.
