B. See figure 1. Locate the opening in the selected
mounting bolt channel and drop in two #8-32 hex head
screws.
Before drilling in ANY part of the vehicle, be sure
that both sides of the mounting surface are clear of
parts that could be damaged; such as brake lines,
fuel lines, electrical wiring or other vital parts.
C. Drill two 3/16" hole as needed for the #8-32
mounting screws. It is recommended that the screws be 4-
6" apart.
D. Secure the unit to the mounting surface using the
supplied keps nuts.
Install the control unit in an adequately ventilated
area. Never install near heater ducts.
After prolonged operation, the unit dissipates heat
and can cause burns. Do not hold the unit in your
hands for extended periods of time. Do not touch
the unit during, or shortly after, operation. Always
allow the unit to cool before handling.

III. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES.
NOTE
Powering multiple devices with a common control
lead may cause one or more units to briefly remain
functional after signal power is removed. For ex-
ample, due to high input filter capacitance, a strobe
supply can briefly supply the current required
to operate a low current device such as a Cuda
TriOpticTM. If necessary, use a relay to isolate
devices with large filter capacitors. See figure 2 for
suggested schematic, all components and wires are
user-supplied.
The unit is intended to operate on a 12.8 VDC system.
It includes a jacketed 6 conductor cable. The 6 conductors
are red (positive), black (negative), green (programming),
yellow (processor reset), orange (external flash, bank 1),
and white (external flash, bank 2). This unit is intended
to work in conjunction with all Federal Signal switch
controllers.
A.
Flashing Operation.
1. Cut and insulate the orange, yellow and white
wires. These are not used.
2. Connect the black wire to ground.
3. Using a user supplied 3A fuse connect the red
wire to a positive 12 VDC source.
4. The flash patterns are selected by grounding
the programming wire (green). The flash patterns are as
follows:
a. Steady On + 90 FPM
b. 120 FPM alternating
c. 165 FPM alternating
d. 240 FPM alternating
e
300 FPM alternating
f. Combo 1:
4 @ 120 FPM
10 @ 300 FPM
g. Combo 2:
2 @ 120 FPM
3 @ 165 FPM
6 @ 240 FPM
3 @ 165 FPM
2 @ 120 FPM
10 @ 300 FPM
h. Combo 3:
1 @ 600 FPM
2 @ 120 FPM
6 @ 240 FPM
