Step 4: Turning on the Lightbar
To turn on the lightbar, plug the power cable into the cigarette lighter:
If the cigarette lighter is wired through the vehicle ignition, insert the key and turn on the vehicle ignition.
The lightbar receives power and turns on.
•
If the cigarette lighter is not wired through the vehicle ignition, the lightbar receives power whenever the
cable is plugged in. The lightbar draws some power even when it is turned off, so disconnect the lightbar
from the power source if the vehicle will be unused for an extended time to avoid draining the vehicle
battery.
•
Turning off the lightbar
To turn off the lightbar, unplug the power cable from the cigarette lighter.
Connecting a Coverage Switch
Connect an interface cable to the lightbar. 1.
Attach the female WeatherPack connector (supplied) to the wires of a switch (not supplied). 2.
Configure the switch on the lightbar. 3.
Caution: Ensure that you do not supply either wire with power. If necessary, use a relay to isolate the lightbar
from the power source.
Connecting an interface cable to the lightbar
The coverage switch requires one of the following external interface cables with a 3−pin WeatherPack connector:
External interface cable (P/N 52033)
•
External interface cable (right angle connector) (P/N 62749)
•
Attaching a female WeatherPack connector to the switch wires
Strip about 1 cm (0.4 inches) of insulation off the switch wires. 1.
Thread each switch wire through a cable seal: 2.
Crimp terminal connectors to the ends of the wires with an appropriately−sized crimp tool or pliers and
then solder the terminal connectors to the wire to ensure a secure connection: 3.
