Reprogramming the Light Bar
Although the Integrity light bar is configured and programmed at the factory, you may
want to change the default settings and flash patterns before installation. Before you
begin, decide if you want to change these default settings.
SignalMaster Operation: Internal (Factory Default) or External
• Internal operation uses the on-board SignalMaster controller in the light bar
to generate directional warning patterns. With Internal operation, an external
SignalMaster controller is not needed. A standard low current switch box can activate
the internal SignalMaster controller.
MODE 1, 2, 3, and INTERSECTION
• MODES 1 through 3 are most often selected by a progressive slide switch, which
enables the driver to turn on the light bar without looking down. You can select a
pattern for each mode from the light bar’s library of 26 patterns.
• The INTERSECTION flash pattern is typically a high activity pattern that attracts attention
to the vehicle as it approaches an intersection. You can select a pattern from the library
and choose one of three ways to turn on and off the pattern. The INTERSECTION flash
pattern overrides the three priority modes.
NOTE:
If the SignalMaster flash pattern is turned on, it overrides the current flash pattern.
FRONT and REAR lights: CUTOFF (default) or ENABLE
• Set these options after you change the default settings for MODE and INTERSECTION
flash patterns. CUTOFF turns OFF the front or rear LEDs when 12 Vdc is applied to the
FRONT or REAR light control wire. ENABLE turns ON the front or rear LEDs when 12
Vdc is applied.
Making the Electrical Connections for Reprogramming
To supply power to the light bar, use a fully-charged 12-volt automotive battery and follow
these steps:
1.
Place the light bar on a sturdy, flat surface.
2.
Plug the CAT5 communication cable (1) from the light bar into the Serial Interface
Module (J1). See Figure 1.
