Navigator Lightbar

Installation, Operation, and Service Instructions

Navigator with Power, Ground, and 5 Control Leads

Navigators with this wiring have 10 AWG 

RED

 and 

BLACK

 power leads along with 

WHITE

YELLOW

GREEN

and 

ORANGE

 leads. 

BLACK

 

WIRE:

 Attach this wire to a known good vehicle ground.

90 RPM:

 Ap12 Vdc to the 

RED

 lead activates the rotators. 

WHITE LIGHT:

 Ap12 Vdc to the 

YELLOW

 lead powers the white light in the rotators configured for white 

light. The rotator LEDs are white to the front and red to rear. This wire must be on a switched feed

FLOOD:

 Ap12 Vdc to the 

GRAY

 lead enables White Light Flood in the rotators configured for Flood. The 

lightheads flood forward or rearward depending on the jumper setting on the power distribution board (Figure 3 

on page 14). 

REAR LIGHT CUTOFF:

 Ap12 Vdc to the 

WHITE

 lead enables rear light

 

cutoff in the rotators.

DRIVER-SIDE ALLEY:

 Ap12 Vdc to the 

GREEN

 lead powers the driver-side alley light.

PASSENGER-SIDE ALLEY:

 Ap12 Vdc to the 

ORANGE

 lead powers the passenger-side alley light.

Navigator with Power Ground and 10-Conductor Control Cable

A Navigator with full-function control has 

RED

 and 

BLACK

 10 AWG power leads. There is a separate 

10-conductor control cable, the functions of which are defined in Figure 5 below and in the tables on page 19. 

All inputs are high-side activated, which means that ap12 Vdc activates the input. For instructions on 

wiring lights configured as stop/tail/turn, see page 23.
