Notes: 

*When the ArrowStik Left and ArrowStik Right wires are both connected to +power, the Center-Out ArrowStik function 

is activated.

 **When the Pattern Select wire is connected to +power and all other inputs are off, test mode is enabled to exercise all 

outputs in sequence until +power is removed from the wire.

 The priority for the 3-Level inputs is L3, L2 then L1 in that order.  In other words, if power is applied to both the L1 and 

L2 inputs, the L2 function will be enabled.  

If the lightbar is equipped with Steady burning TriCore light heads, these heads are enabled with the 3-Level input 

wires.  The jumper plug must be moved to JP1, JP2 or JP3 to select the 3-Level input which will enable the Steady 

burning TriCore heads, (see Figure 1).

The Steady burn function for both the Takedown and Alley lights will always override the Wig/Wag Flash function.

The Cruise Light function is mutually exclusive with all other functions.  If any other input has +power applied, the 

Cruise Lights will be turned off.

The Dim function sets the brightness of the TriCore light heads in both the ArrowStik mode and Emergency Warning 

Flash mode.  

The Front Cut and Rear Cut functions must be used with the greatest care to ensure that the use of these functions 

does not diminish the effectiveness of the Emergency Warning signal.
