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

Installation:

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

1. Using a screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) the three screws securing the

passenger-side visor swivel bracket to the vehicle.

(See reference to

retainer in Figure 1)

2. Remove the screws securing the visor clip to the vehicle. Remove and retain

the clip and all hardware.

3. Secure the bracket to the Inner Edge housing using the hardware provided.
4. Position the keyed opening of the mounting bracket directly under the

mounting location for the visor clip. With the bracket in this position, remount
the visor clip in its original location using the original hardware (Fig. 1).

5. Firmly tighten any hardware loosened in this procedure.
6. Repeat this procedure for the driver-side assembly.
7. When properly mounted, the rubber seal will be in full contact with the

vehicle windshield and roof. This is to prevent light output from entering the
passenger compartment. When this has been achieved, tighten mounting
hardware firmly to maintain contact (Fig. 1).

8. Route the lightbar cable down the vehicle A-pillar to your control head.
9. Make all wiring connections using the information in the wiring diagram.

Wiring:

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.

to the WHT/GRN wire for less than 1 second and release. to cycle
backward
apply +12 VDC to the WHT/GRN wire for more than 1 second
and release.
TO SET A PATTERN AS DEFAULT: When the pattern is displayed, allow it
to run for over 5 seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern when
active.

TO RESET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: Turn off power and
apply +12 VDC to the WHT/GRN wire while turning power on.
A normally open momentary switch is best used for Scan-Lock
