- Refer to the control head manual packaged with the lightbar for control
head installation and operation instruction.
Arrowstik® / Narrowstik®
OPTIONAL HALOGEN ARROWSTIK® (7-wire) / L.E.D. NARROWSTIK® (11-wire) WIRING AND CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION -
After installation of the lightbar, route the smaller of the two power cables through the vehicle to the location chosen for the control head. Cut
the cable to length and strip back the outer insulation to expose the seven or eleven colored wires. Strip back 1/8” - 1/4” of colored
insulation from each of the wires in the cable. Connect these wires to the seven position / eleven position terminal plug enclosed in the user
parts bag, according to the diagram on the bottom of the control head.
OPTIONS & SPECIFICATIONS

L.E.D. Fusing Considerations
Although the average current draw per module is very low, due to the type of circuit used to power each module the instantaneous
peak current to a module can be significantly higher during low voltage conditions. To avoid prematurely blowing ATO style fuses or
tripping breakers it is recommended the following rule-of-thumb be used to size fuses or breakers. This is especially important in
lightbars with many LED modules running off a single fused source wire,
Minimum fuse size calculation:
1.5 x (number of modules being fused)
Example:
Excalibur Lightbar with 2 corner modules (2 per module) and 4 directional modules.
Minimum fuse requirement for single fuse - 1.5 (2+2+4) = 10A minimum
OPTIONAL STROBE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS - For all configurations the strobe power supply(s) will be
powered by the #14 AWG Red and Red/Black wires in the lightbar main cable. For 2 or 4 head configurations
only the Red or Red/Black wire will be utilized. For 6, 8, 10 and 12 head configurations both wires will be utilized.
These wires will supply DC power to each strobe power supply(s) so all user supplied switches and wiring
connected to the Red and/or Red/Black wires should be rated for a minimum of 10 Amps and fused at a
maximum of 15 Amps, for each wire used. Two additional wires in the main cable (typically Green and Green/
Black) are used to control the flash mode of the power supply. These wires are low current connections at
typically less than 1 Amp. (See lightbar "wire tag" for wire color).
