CC Series Wiring

A CC series lightbar has a 2-wire power cable and a 16-wire control cable.  The entire power load of the bar goes through the power cable.  

The black ground wire should be connected directly to the battery.  The 10 AWG red power wire requires a constant 10 to 16V power source 

with a customer supplied in line fuse. To select an appropriately rated ATO (regular) or Maxi Fuse, add the amp ratings, found in the speci

-

fications section, of the modules in your configuration specific lightbar and based on that sum, insert a fuse of the next larger size (to be no 

larger than a 30 A fuse). The 16 control cable wires carry only low power (30 mA average) input signals to control the lightbar functions and 

must be routed to the output of a control switch (or directly to multiple switches).

Before attempting to connect the lightbar wiring harness, refer to the configuration specific wiring key included with the lightbar for the con

-

figuration specific functions of each wire. Use an appropriate high-temperature wiring if it passes through the engine compartment. Use cable 

ties and grommets to secure and protect all cables and wires.

Note:

-When the Arrowstik Left and Arrowstik Right wires are both connected to +power, the Center-Out Arrowstik function is activated.

-The Front Cut and Rear Cut functions must be used with the greatest care to ensure that the use of these functions do not diminish 

  the effectiveness of the Emergency Warning signal.

-When the Pattern Select wire is connected to +power alone, test mode is enabled to exercise all outputs in sequence.

-The Dim Function lowers the brightness of the LEDs in both the ArrowStik mode and Emergency Warning Flash modes.

-The WHT Drivers Side Cut wire may be changed to Arrowstik Flash. Please see the Arrowstik flash pattern selection section below 

  for details.

-Lightbars equipped with a DOT strip assembly are wired in conjunction with the STT tail light function. All STT functions are 

 powered independent of the central driver PCA.

Emergency Mode Flash Pattern Selection

There are seven customizable emergency flash pattern modes available based on the wire combinations shown in TABLE 3. When using 

individual switches, make sure to configure all possible switch combinations. The default setting is unsynchronized which allows each light 

head module group to be configured separately and the lightbar to flash in an unsynchronized pattern. Steps to synchronize the light head 

module groups together are detailed in later sections.
