Wiring the Valor in the Vehicle
Front Cutoff
When 12 Vdc (+BAT) is applied to the Front Cutoff control wire (green/white), the
selected Mode operation is deactivated to the front of the light bar. Only the rear
LEDs function. Additionally, with Flash Takedown/Alley (red/black) active, only the
alley lights turn on.
Rear Cut-Off
When 12 Vdc (+BAT) is applied to the Rear Cutoff control wire (orange/black), the
selected Mode operation is deactivated to the rear of the light bar. Only the front
LEDs flash.
NOTE
: The operational settings for Front Cutoff and Rear Cutoff are not independent.
The default setting is for 12 Vdc (+BAT) to be applied for the light bar’s front and
rear lightheads to turn them off (Cutoff). To change the default setting to turn on
these LEDs when 12 Vdc is applied (Enable), see “Front/Rear Cutoff or Enable” on
page 19.
Intersection
When 12 Vdc (+BAT) is applied to the Intersection control wire (blue/black) and a Mode
control wire, it turns on the Intersection pattern. When 12 Vdc is removed, the light
bar returns to its previous state. SW2 Switch 3 must be in the up (ON) position in the
Serial Interface Module.
NOTE:
With the flexibility of the SmartSiren Platinum System, both the Intersection
and the Scene Light, Left option are available in Valor and Valor light bars without the
need to choose one or the other. (See Scene Light, Left, Right below.)
Flash Takedown/Alley
When 12 Vdc (+BAT) is applied to the Flash Takedown/Alley control wire (red/black)
and a MODE control wire, the takedown and alley lights flash.
Left and Right Alley Lights
When 12 Vdc (+BAT) is applied to the Left (green/black) or Right Alley control wire
(orange/red), the appropriate alley LEDs turn on. The left and right alley lights override
the flash/takedown alley lights.
Takedown Lights
When 12 Vdc (+BAT) is applied to the Takedown control wire (white/black), the
takedown LEDs turn on. Takedown overrides Flash Takedown/Alley and Front Cutoff.
Scene Light, Left and Scene Light, Right
This function applies only to light bars with Spectralux Technology (Valor and Vision
SLR). To use this function with the Serial Interface Module, place SW2 Switch 3 in the
Module in the down position (ON). When 12 Vdc is applied to the Scene Light, Left
control wire (blue/black), the left half of the light bar lights up. When 12 Vdc is applied
to the Scene Light, Right wire (black/white/red), the right half of the light bar lights up.
Intersection and Light Bar Test are unavailable with these options.
