Specifications:

Input Voltage:

Input Current:

Peak - 400ma / Avg - 160ma

Sync Phase:

Phase I & II @ 400ms

Input Scan-Lock™: +12 VDC

Installation:

IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be located a minimum of
16" from any radio antennas!

Note: When routing wires, it is
important that you choose a
path that will keep the wires
away from any excessive heat
or any vehicle equipment that
could compromise the integrity
of the wires (ex. trunk lids, door
jams, etc.).

Caution: Permanent mounting
of this product will require
drilling. It is absolutely
necessary to make sure that no
other vehicle components
could be damaged by this
process. Check both sides of
the mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely, select a
different mounting location.

1.

Position the unit in its proposed mounting location. Draw a pencil
line onto the mounting surface along the top and bottom of the
extrusion and a “centerline” centered between the two.

2.

Two 1/4” holes are required to mount this unit. These holes may
be located anywhere along the horizontal centerline that you drew
in step one. It’s best to locate the holes as far apart as possible.
Mark the hole location onto the mounting surface.

3.

Using a 1/4” drill bit, drill a hole in the areas scribed in step 2.

4.

Insert the two hex-head mounting bolts (included) into one of the 3
channels in the housing. There is a hole in each channel.

5.

Align these bolts with the 2 mounting holes and insert them into
the mounting holes.

6.

Install an elastic stop nut onto each bolt and tighten firmly.

Wiring:

Refer to the wiring diagram on the next page.

WARNING: All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the
maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry that
load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!

Scan-Lock™ (Blue)

This lighthead has 25 flash patterns (69 patterns for Split-LED) some of
which are available in 2 or 4 modes; Phases 1, 2, 3 or 4 (See SYNC).
The patterns are changed with the BLUE wire. With the lighthead on:

To advance to the next pattern, apply +12 VDC to the BLUE wire for
less than 1 second. To cycle backwards to previous patterns, apply +12
VDC for more than 1 second.

To reset to the factory default pattern, turn off power to the lighthead.
While applying +12 VDC to the BLUE wire, turn the lighthead back on.
Continue to apply voltage to the BLUE wire for 5 seconds.

With SYNC, all lightheads configured to display the Phase 1 mode of a
given pattern will flash simultaneously. Any lightheads configured to
display the Phase 2 mode of a pattern, will alternate with any Phase 1
lightheads with the same pattern.

Sync (Grey)

To sync two lightheads, configure both lightheads to display the same Phase
1 pattern. With the power off, connect the GREY wire from each lighthead
together. When the lightheads are activated, their patterns will be
synchronized. To configure the two lightheads to alternate their patterns,
advance the pattern of either lighthead to Phase 2 of the current pattern.
