IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be a minimum of 16" from radio antennas!
Installation / Standard:
1. Loosen (
do not remove
) the three screws securing the passenger-side
visor swivel
bracket to the vehicle.
2. Remove screws securing vehicles
visor clip
and remove clip and hardware.
3. Secure the bracket to the Inner Edge housing using hardware provided (Fig. 1).
4. Position the keyed opening of the mounting bracket directly under the location of the
visor clip
removed in step 2 and remount the
visor clip
in its original location using the
original hardware (Fig. 1). Silverado & Tahoe require a spacer (Fig. 1).
5. Firmly tighten any hardware loosened in this procedure.
6. Repeat this procedure for the driver-side assembly.
7. When properly mounted, the rubber seal will be in full contact with the vehicle
windshield and roof. This is to prevent light output from entering the passenger
compartment. When this has been achieved, tighten mounting hardware firmly.
8. Route the lightbar cable down the A-pillar to your control head. Make all wiring
connections using the information in the wiring diagram.
The Tahoe and Silverado have a retainer
which holds the headliner to the visor
clip that must be replaced with
the supplied spacer.

2. Loosen (
do not remove
) the screws securing the passenger-side
visor
swivel
bracket
to the vehicle.
3. Slide the outside end of the mounting bracket under the
visor swivel
bracket
(Fig. 2)
.
At the same time slip the rectangular hole in the other end
of the mounting bracket over the
visor clip bracket
. With the mounting
bracket in position re-tighten the
visor swivel bracket
hardware.
4. Using the screw hole in the mounting bracket as a guide, drill a pilot hole
into the sheet metal behind the headliner and secure other side of mounting
bracket using the supplied #10 X 1” PPHSMS.
5. Repeat this procedure for the driver-side assembly.
6. When properly mounted, the rubber seal will be in full contact with the
vehicle windshield and roof. This prevents light from entering the passenger
compartment. When this has been achieved, tighten all mounting hardware
firmly to maintain contact.
7. Route the lightbar cable down the A-pillar to your control head and make all
wiring connections using the information in the wiring diagram.

WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the
maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry that load.
DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
Operation:
8-conductor cable. All functions listed here may not be present in all
lightbars.
WHT/GRN (Scan-Lock™) -
The WHT/GRN wire allows you to choose from a
variety of flash patterns. A light must be activated to change the pattern.
TO CYCLE THROUGH ALL PATTERNS:
To cycle forward
apply +12 VDC to
the WHT/GRN wire for less than 1 second and release.
To cycle backward
apply +12 VDC to the WHT/GRN wire for more than 1 second and release.
TO SET A PATTERN AS DEFAULT:
When the pattern is displayed, allow it to
run for 6 seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern when active.
TO RESET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN:
Turn off power and
apply +12 VDC to the WHT/GRN wire while turning power on.
A normally open momentary switch is best suited for Scan-Lock
operation.
BLU (Flash 1) -
Apply +12 VDC to the BLUE wire to activate the warning lights.
Fuse wire @ 1 Amp.
BRN (Hi/Low Power) -
This feature places the lightbar in low power for night
time use. Fuse wire @ 1 Amp. A single pole / single throw switch can be used
to control Hi/Low power.
To activate Low power:
Apply +12 VDC to the BRN wire.
To restore regular
power:
Remove the BRN wire from +12 VDC.
WHT/BLK (Take-Down) -
Apply +12 VDC to the WHT/BLK wire to activate the
take-downs (5-light models only). Fuse this wire @ 1 Amp.
WHT/ORG (Flashing Take-Down) -
Apply +12VDC to the WHT/ORG wire to
activate flashing take-down mode (5-light models only). Fuse this wire @ 1
Amp. Note: The WHT/BLK wire overrides this display.
ORG (California Steady) -
Apply +12 VDC to the ORG wire to activate lights
using the California Steady pattern table (next page). Refer to the following
page for lighthead identification. Fuse wire @ 1 Amp.
NOTE: Due to firmware
requirements, there are several ‘null’ patterns (no lighthead active) that
precede Pattern 1. Repeated Scan-Lock activations may be required
before Pattern 1 selection is achieved.
Installation / Caprice:
1. Secure the mounting bracket to the Inner Edge housing using the two #8 - 32 X 3/8
TORX HEAD SCREWS provided (Fig. 2).
