Pattern Selection

I

ntroduction

The DEFENDER is designed to offer user selectable traffic directing signals and traffic warning options.

This allows the greatest flexibility when controlling the various DEFENDER configurations available. The end user can match the 

desired signal to a particular lightbar configuration whether it is a 5, 6 or 8 lighthead configuration. The lightbar will come from the 

factory with the default patterns selected as indicated in Table 2. The default configuration will be for a 6 head system with all building 

patterns ( Building 6 HD ). If it is desired to change the pattern in any of the modes ( LEFT, CTR, RIGHT or FLASH ) or if you have 

other than a 6 head ystem ( 5 or 8 head ) and you want to optimize the patterns for your particular configuration, then follow the 

programming procedure outlined.

Steady burn Setting

The DEFENDER's Steady Burn feature allows up to two (2) of the light bar's TriCore light heads to be designated to operate in Steady 

Burn mode.  The Steady Burn TriCore light heads are always connected to connectors P9 & P10.  

The Steady Burn outputs are enabled by the 3-Level control inputs.  The DEFENDER may be configured so that Steady Burn TriCore light 

heads  are on when either L1, L2 or L3 are active (JP1 position); when L2 or L3 are active (JP2 position) or just when L3 is active (JP3 

position).  Simply move the jumper to the appropriate location (JP1, JP2 or JP3).  Refer to the detail in Figure 1.
