Setting the Light Bar Flash Pattern

Although the Allegiant

®

 light bar is configured and programmed at the factory, you 

may want to change default settings and flash patterns before you install the light bar. 

Before you begin, decide if you want to change these default settings:

Discrete Bars

MODE 1, 2

You can select a pattern for each mode from the light bar’s library of 28 patterns. 

Making the Electrical Connections

To supply power to the light bar, use a fully charged 12-volt automotive battery.
Follow these steps:

1. 

Place the light bar on a sturdy, flat surface. 

2. 

Attach the Black wire to the negative battery (–GND) terminal. 

3. 

Attach the Red and/or Yellow power line through a fuse rated in Tables 6 and 7 

to the positive battery (+BAT) terminal. If a switch is desired, attach the switch 

between the fuse and the battery.

Setting the Light Bar Flash Pattern

The light bar can change the flash pattern for Modes 1 and 2. To change the flash 

pattern:

1. 

Attach the Black wire to the negative battery (-GND) terminal. 

2. 

Apply +BAT to the Red and/or Yellow wire to turn on the light bar. If Mode 2 is 

being changed, apply +BAT to the Brown wire as well.

3. 

Quickly tap the Brown/White wire to +BAT three times.
