Flash Pattern Selection
The LED Perimeter Lights are equipped with one steady burn and twenty flashing patterns
including ten
alternating patterns, an exclusive feature of the Code 3 LED Perimeter Light. All flash patterns are either
75 flashes per minute (FPM) or 150 FPM.
To select a different flash pattern, apply +12 or +24 VDC to the red wire and connect the black wire to the
power supply ground. The unit will flash in whatever pattern was last set. Change the pattern by momentarily
touching the white wire to the power supply ground. The flash pattern will change to the next pattern accord-
ing to the following list:

Continue to cycle through the various patterns until the desired pattern is selected. The unit will retain this
pattern even when power is removed.
Note: For Perimeter Lights the white flash pattern selection wire
must be protected from contact with the system ground to prevent inadvertent changes to the flash
pattern. This can be accomplished by sealing or capping the end of the wire.
For units that are flashed with an external control system such as a multiplexer or a flasher unit, the heads
should be set to steady burn. Note: Regardless of the location in the program in the flash pattern list, the unit
can be forced to steady burn by permanently electrically tying the white wire to the black wire.
It is recommended that all heads be set to the desired pattern at a workbench prior to installation.
Power Requirements
The Code3 LED Perimeter Lights are designed to be long life, full signal, light weight and low current draw.
