ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Product Configuration:
1. The four control wires (blue, orange, yellow and pink) can each be assigned a function from the flash pattern table, which include:
a. Output a pattern,
b. Enable a scene (where lights are steady on),
c. Enable cruise mode (lights are on dimly), or
d. Set lightbar to reduced power (night) mode.
2. Functionality is assigned to the control wires by ap12V supply to the control wire and then grounding the white wire for a specific amount of time.
a. To advance the next function in the list, tap the white wire to ground for < 1 second.
b. To go back one function in the list, hold the white wire to ground for >1 second and < 2 seconds.
c. To set the wire functionality to the default value, hold the white wire to ground >1 second and < 3 seconds.
d. For beacons with more than one color, hold the white wire to ground for >3 seconds to set the color(s) used with the active control wire.
3. For beacons with multiple colors, the color(s) used for each control wire is set by grounding the white wire while ap12V to the desired control wire for > 3 seconds.
a. After 3 seconds, each color will turn on for 1 second. Release the white wire during this time to set the control wire function to the displayed color.
b. Once all colors have been displayed, color combinations will light such that the 2 colors will alternate (½ second color 1 and ½ second color 2) for 3 times, followed by ½ second off. Release the white wire
during this time to set the control wire function to the 2 flashing colors.
4. The control board obtains information about the attached modules through a learning procedure that is performed in the factory. If the hardware is changed to
modules of different types (e.g. colors are changed), the learning process will need to be repeated.
a. If device is a beacon, ensure DIP Switch 2 is ON. If Light bar it should be OFF.
b. To enable sync2 ensure DIP Switch 3 is ON. To disable sync2 ensure DIP Switch 3 is OFF.
c. Move the DIP Switch 1 from OFF to ON and back to OFF to start the learning process.
d. After approximately 2 seconds (during which time the lights may flicker briefly), all lights of each color will turn on for 2 seconds each. Observe the modules
to make sure they are the proper color.
Operating Modes:
1.
Flash Pattern
Light modules will flash with selected pattern. If multiple control wires are set to output a pattern are active simultaneously
the wire with the highest priority will be active (Pink > Yellow > Orange > Blue).
2.
Scene
Modules for scene will stay on continuously. If only some light modules are used for the scene then a flash pattern can
be active on other light modules.
3.
Cruise
Selected modules will stay on continuously at a dim value. Patterns and Scenes will take priority over a cruise function
if both are active.
4.
Low Power
If a low power functionality is enabled along with a pattern or scene, the pattern or scene will be active at a lower light output level.
5.
Sleep
If no input is active, the device will enter a low power sleep mode.
IMPORTANT
WHEN PASSING CABLES THROUGH FIREWALL OR OTHER
SHEETMETAL, INSERT GROMMET TO PROTECT THE CABLE!
!
WARNING
Route wires only in locations that are not subjected to
potential wear. Make sure to avoid routing wires in the
deployment area of your air bag. Refer to your vehicle’s
owner’s manual for airbag deployment zone.
