INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
SMART VECTOR™ SL LED LIGHTBAR
SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
WARNING
People’s lives depend on your safe instal-
lation of our products. It is important to
read, understand and follow all instruc-
tions shipped with the products. In addi-
tion, listed below are some other important
safety instructions and precautions you
should follow:
• To properly install lightbar, you must have a
good understanding of automotive systems,
along with proficiency in the installation
and use of safety warning equipment.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring
in the deployment path of an air bag.
• This product contains high intensity LED
devices. To prevent permanent eye damage,
DO NOT stare into the light beam at close
range.
• A light system is a high current device. In
order for it to function properly, a separate
ground connection must be made. If practi-
cal, it should be connected to the negative
battery terminal. At a minimum, it may be
attached to a solid metal body or chassis
part that will provide an effective ground
path as long as the light system is used.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be
sure that both sides of the surface are clear
of anything that could be damaged.
• Locate the light system controls so the VE-
HICLE and CONTROLS can be operated
safely under all driving conditions.
• The mounting system should be periodically
inspected to ensure that it is securely at-
tached to the vehicle.
• Improper lightbar activation may occur if
the lightbar is installed less than 18-inches
away from a two-way radio antenna. En-
sure that the lightbar is installed at least
18-inches away from any two-way radio an-
tenna.
• File these instructions in a safe place and
refer to them when maintaining and/or rein-
stalling the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and
instructions may result in property damage, seri-
ous injury, or death to you or others.
I.
GENERAL.
The Smart Vector SL warning system is a full-
featured, programmable halogen/LED warning light
system. V-shaped construction lets the Smart Vector
SL warning system maximize light warning efficiency
at crucial 45° angles. The LED pods are two-tier with
the wide angle Solaris LEDs positioned to provide 360°
coverage. The warning system’s two Smart Pods are
preprogrammed to provide a wide selection of warning
light patterns. Available patterns include: rotate at 90,
120 or 175 flashes per minute; oscillate to the front, rear,
or intersection; as well as front or rear flashing. Pattern
selection can be performed during or after installation.
Take-down and alley lights have horizontal tracking
capability for use as spotlights. An optional LED rear
directional light, called the SignalMaster™, provides
additional warning capability. The SignalMaster can
be operated via the internal controller with its prepro-
grammed light patterns, or by an external controller
like the SS2000SM, SMC16 and SMC56 SignalMaster
controllers.
II. UNPACKING.
After unpacking the SMART VECTOR SL light as-
sembly, inspect it for damage that may have occurred in
transit. If the unit has been damaged, do not attempt to
install or operate it. File a claim immediately with the
carrier, stating the extent of damage. Carefully check all
envelopes, shipping labels, and tags before removing or
destroying them.
III. INSTALLATION.
WARNING
Improper lightbar activation may occur if
the lightbar is installed less than 18-inches
away from a two-way radio antenna. En-
sure that the lightbar is installed at least
18-inches away from any two-way radio
antenna.
Before proceeding, ensure that the lightbar has
been installed on the vehicle roof in accordance with the
instructions packed with the mounting kit. The lightbar
is completely wired at the factory and does not require
any additional internal wiring. All the conductors neces-
sary for control of any and all basic and optional func-
tions are contained in the cable. The basic light func-
tions of the unit must be controlled by a user-supplied
control head.
