IMPORTANT! The use of a Brake/Back-up Light Flasher
System may be regulated by state, county or municipal
authorities. It is the responsibility of the end user to comply
with these regulations.
The Whelen UBF5150 Brake/Back-Up Light Flasher will alternately
flash the vehicle’s rear brake lights with the back-up lights at a rate
of 110 flashes per minute.
WARNING! The installation of a Brake/Back-Up Light
Flasher System requires a modification to the vehicle’s
brake light wiring harness. This modification may not
only effect the warranty of your vehicle, but may also
have an adverse effect on the operation of some of the
safety features installed on your particular vehicle’s
Brake Warning and Anti-Lock Braking Systems.
Variations can exist between identical vehicles within a
given model year. It is the responsibility of the end user
to not only verify the warranty conditions with the
vehicle manufacturer, but also verify that this device is
compatible with the specific vehicle into which it is
being installed. The use of a Brake/Back-Up Light
flasher System may shorten bulb life.
WARNING! Disconnect the battery from electrical system
before attempting any part of this installation.
Installation:
Mount the UBF5150 Brake/Back-Up Light Flasher in a convenient
area of the vehicle’s trunk, safe from mechanical damage. The
mounting flanges have holes and slots sized to accommodate #10
mounting hardware. Wire the unit as follows:
1.
BLACK (Ground)
-
Connect the black wire to a good chassis
ground. Wire may be extended with an 18 AWG wire.
2.
ORANGE (Flasher On/Off Control)
-
Connect the orange
wire to a customer supplied ON/OFF switch rated for at least
200ma. The switch must be connected to positive (+) 12 volts
D.C. Wire may be extended with an 18 AWG wire.

positive (+) 12 volt D.C. power source. Fuse this circuit with a
customer supplied 20 amp fuse as close to power source as
possible. Wire may be extended with a 14 AWG wire.
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to
the positive (+) terminal of the battery, must be sized
to supply at least 125% of the maximum operating
current, and fused “at the battery” to carry that load!

Operation:
When the flasher control switch is activated to the ON position, the
left and right brake lights will flash on and off together and will
alternate with the back-up lights. During operation you may hear a
regular clicking sound coming from the UBF5150. This means that
the flasher is working properly, however it does not guarantee that
the lights are flashing. It is a good practice to visually check the
operation of the flasher system at regular intervals.
