Preparing the Valor for Installation
3.
Remove 12 Vdc from the Mode 3 control wire.
Mode 2
1.
Apply 12 Vdc (+BAT) to the Mode 2 control wire (blue/white) from the Serial
Interface Module to display the assigned pattern.
2.
On the Serial Interface Module, press and release the SW-1 pushbutton until the
pattern you want appears on the light bar.
3.
Remove 12 Vdc from the Mode 2 control wire.
Mode 1
1.
Apply 12 Vdc (+BAT) to the Mode 1 control wire (blue) from the Serial Interface
Module to display the assigned pattern.
2.
On the Serial Interface Module, press and release the SW-1 pushbutton until the
pattern you want appears on the light bar.
3.
Remove 12 Vdc from the Mode 1 control wire.
Intersection
This procedure only programs the Intersection pattern. It does not assign the pattern
to a Mode. The Intersection flash pattern overrides all three priority modes when
activated. To select a new pattern, you must apply 12 Vdc to the control wire for
either Mode 1, 2, or 3 (Table 5 on page 16) and the blue/black control wire for
Intersection. SW2 Switch 3 in the Serial Interface Module must be in the up position
for this function.
NOTE:
With the flexibility of the SmartSiren Platinum System, both the Intersection and
the Scene Light, Left option are available in Valor and Vision SLR light bars without the
need to choose one or the other.
1.
Apply 12 Vdc (+BAT) to a control wire for either Mode 1, 2, or 3, and the control
wire for Intersection from the Serial Interface Module.
2.
On the Serial Interface Module, press and release the SW-1 pushbutton until the
pattern you want appears on the light bar.
3.
Remove 12 Vdc from the Mode and Intersection control wires.
Intersection Operational Settings
Select one of three options to turn on the Intersection pattern:
• HIGH with +BAT power maintained (default): the light bar displays the Intersection
pattern until power is removed.
• TAP II (push-on/push-off): The Intersection flash pattern is turned on and off by
pressing a momentary contact switch, such as a horn button. Momentary 12 Vdc
turns on the pattern, a second momentary 12 Vdc signal turns it off.
• 8-SECOND TIMEOUT activated by +BAT: momentary 12 Vdc turns on the
Intersection flash pattern for eight seconds.
To change from HIGH to TAP II or 8-SECOND TIMEOUT.
