LED/TriCore® Modules:
Selecting Flash Patterns:
There are seven possible 3-Level modes of operation (see Table 1). These modes are activated by combinations of the
L1 (GRN/BLK), L2 (WHT/BLK) and L3 (RED/BLK) wires. For example a standard progressive switch will use the Level-1
(L1), Level-2 (L1 + L2) and Level-3 (L1 + L2 + L3) modes. When using individual switches, make sure to select patterns
for all possible switch combinations. Each of the 3-Level modes of operation can individually fl ash up to 9 pairs of
lightheads. Each pair of lightheads is programmed with a different wire in the 16 conductor cable (see Table 2).
STEP 1:
Power-up the light bar. Select the desired 3-Level mode to program by applying +power to the appropriate wire in the 16
conductor cable (see Table 1).
STEP 2:
Continue applying +power to the wire(s) from Step 1. Enter Pattern Selection Mode by applying +power to the BLK/RED
wire in the 16 conductor cable.
NOTE: The BLK/RED wire must be connected to +power during Pattern Selection Mode and must be removed
from +power when pattern selection is completed. Failure to remove the BLK/RED wire from +power will effect
the normal operation of the light bar.
STEP 3:
Continue applying power to the BLK/RED wire and the wire(s) from Step 1. Refer to Table 3 for the available fl ash
patterns.
To increment to the next pattern, momentarily hold the appropriate pattern selection wire (see Table 2) to +power for less
than two seconds and then release. The four corner light heads will turn on steady to indicate that the pattern has been
incremented.
To decrement to the previous pattern, momentarily hold the appropriate pattern selection wire (see Table 2) to +power for
two to four seconds and then release. The four corner light heads will turn on steady and then turn off to indicate that the
pattern has been decremented.
After the pattern selection wire has been released, the new pattern will begin to fl ash and is automatically stored each
time. Repeat this step for each pair of heads using the appropriate pattern selection wire (see Table 2).
NOTE: To restore the Factory Default Emergency Warning Flash Patterns, hold any of the pattern selection wires
to +power for more than four seconds. The four corner light heads will turn on steady, turn off and then turn on
steady again to indicate that the Factory Default Emergency Warning Flash Patterns have been restored. The
factory defaults for a progressive switch application (Level-1, Level-2 and Level-3) are identifi ed in Table 4.
STEP 4:
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each of the seven possible 3-Level modes as desired.
