Reprogramming the Light Bar
Although the Reliant™ 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
The internal operation uses the onboard 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.
