Overhead Lighting Installation
(ex. DuoBeams or Lightbars)
Overhead lighting of the Matrix System has multiple choices. This includes various lightbars, regular
beacons, Arch beacons, and even DuoBeams. Beacons will need to attach their sync wire to the sync wire
inside the Matrix System CC box. In addition, those beacons must be powered from the same switched
power supply of the vehicle so that the lights turn on when the Matrix System CC powers its lights. Matrix
System Lightbars and DuoBeams can be run directly from the Matrix System CC requiring no additional
sync wires.
1. Attach chosen overhead lighting to vehicle per instructions supplied with overhead lighting.
2. Attach appropriate harness to overhead lighting.
3. Feed overhead lighting harness through the vehicle to the Matrix System Central Controller box.
4. Push the harness through the black bushing on the box.
5. Pull in plenty of the harness to allow for running wires to their final destination.
6. Strip plenty of the harness away but leave enough to keep from pulling back through the bushing.
7. Strip individual wires to prepare them for crimping.
8. Crimp the quick connects onto each wire.
9. Attach each quick connect to its proper location inside the Central Controller box. (OH is
abbreviation of OverHead. Red wires attach to OH1-OH4. Black wires attach to OUTPUT
GROUND)
