Selecting a mounting location...
The most common choice for a mounting area would be a trunk or similar
compartment. However, due to the wide variety of vehicles onto which the
UPS64LX could be installed, this is not always possible. The following
guidelines will help the installer select an acceptable alternative:
A)
The UPS64LX should be mounted on a metal surface to aid heat
dissipation. Be sure that this surface is not one that either generates or is
exposed to excessive heat during normal operation of the vehicle.
B)
Do not select a location where the UPS64LX will be exposed to potential
damage from any unsecured or loose equipment in the vehicle.
C)
Be sure the area selected will not allow the UPS64LX to be exposed to
water!
D)
When routing the UPS64LX’s wires, it is important to choose a path that
will keep these wires away from excessive heat and from any vehicle
equipment that could compromise the integrity of the wires (ex. trunk lids,
door jams, etc.).
E)
When the best mounting location has been determined, securely fasten
the UPS64LX to it’s mounting surface using the supplied hardware.
DANGER! The Strobe Light Power Supply is a high voltage device. Do not
touch or remove tube assembly in strobe light head assemblies while in
operation. Wait 10 minutes after disconnecting the unit from its power
source before starting work or troubleshooting on power supply or
system.
CAUTION: As it will be necessary to drill holes into the mounting surface,
the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts
could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the
mounting surface before drilling begins!
1.
Position the UPS64LX in its proposed mounting location to ensure that it
fits properly. With the UPS64LX in place, insert an awl or other suitable
tool into the mounting screw area of the power supply and scribe the
areas that are to be drilled.
2.
Remove the UPS64LX from its mounting area and, using a drill bit sized
for a #10 sheet metal screw, drill a hole in each of the areas scribed in the
previous step.
3.
Return the UPS64LX to its mounting location and using the supplied #10
sheet metal screws, mount the UPS64LX onto its mounting surface.
Wiring your UPS64LX...
1.
Locate the 3 position
Power Connector
included with your UPS64LX and
plug it into the port indicated in Fig. 1. Extend the BLK and RED wires
from the
Power Connector
towards the battery.
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 the load!
2.
Connect the RED wire to a fuse block (customer supplied) and then to the
POSITIVE terminal on the battery.
NOTE! Although a 15 amp fuse (customer supplied) is required to be
used in the fuse block, do not install the fuse until all of the wire connec-
tions are completed.
3.
Connect the BLK wire to the factory chassis ground adjacent to the
battery.
4.
Refer to Fig. 2 for wiring information for the
Control Connector
and for
the
Pattern Selection Connector
.
5.
As indicated in Fig. 2, there is a provision in the
Power Connector
for a
wire (VIO) to activate Hi Power/Low Power strobe operation. If this feature
is desired, locate the VIO wire included with your power supply and, with
the
Power Connector
disconnected from the power supply, insert the
pinned end of the VIO wire into position 3 of the
Power Connector
. Refer
to Fig. 2 for wiring information.

NOTE -
The WHITE/RED wire in the
Pattern Selection Connector provides
positive voltage designed to be used
to supply power to your switches. This
wire is internally protected to 250 ma.
If a short circuit occurs, the circuit will
interrupt current flow until the short
has been removed.
NOTE
- The type of switch used is dependant on how the operator wishes the Hi/Lo feature to
function:
Latching Mode
- By apvoltage to the Violet wire for less than 1 sec., the power supply is
“latched” into low power operation. The unit must be turned off and then back on to restore normal,
Hi power operation. A momentary switch is desired for this style.
Level Mode
- Apvoltage to the Violet wire for more than 1 sec. holds the power supply in
low power mode until that voltage is removed. A toggle switch is desired for this style.
