Once the light bar is level and centered, mark the holes through the mounting tabs and remove the light bar from the vehicle.
Make sure that the drill will not damage anything when penetrating the roof. Drill the mounting holes and remove any burrs.
Attachment can be made using 1/4" cap screws, toggle bolts, or other fasteners as may be convenient. Use sealant as
necessary to prevent water leakage into the vehicle.
Wiring Instructions
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is
highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the
connections. Do not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g. 3M
® Scotchlock type connectors). Route
wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to
reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g. underhood) will significantly reduce the current carrying
capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. Use "SXL" type wire in engine compartment. All wiring should
conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving
parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to
anchor and protect all wiring. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as
possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices. Particular attention should be paid to the location
and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion and loss of
conductivity. Ground terminations should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to
the vehicle battery. The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of the maximum Amp capacity in
the supply line to protect against short circuits. For example, a 30 Amp fuse should carry a maximum of 24
Amps. DO NOT USE 1/4" DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS
DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip"
when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
WARNING!
!
Before attempting to connect wiring refer to wire tag attached to the lightbar's main cable. Each wire in the cable controls
a separate lightbar function as described in the wire tag.
The only significant difference between the CODE 360® with optional ArrowStik® and a conventional CODE 360, is the
additional, thinner cable exiting the bottom of the lightbar. The larger cable is the lightbar power cable. Route the wiring
cable into the engine or passenger compartment, taking care to use grommets and to apply sealant around openings to
keep water out. It is advisable to leave an extra loop of cable when installing the light bar to allow for future changes
or reinstallations. Connect the black lead to a solid frame ground (earth), preferably, the (-) or ground (earth) side of the
battery and bring the other wires to the control head or switches. Connect the wires as directed by the wiring
instructions on the cable.
