Control Harness Connections
Below is a picture of the control wire. This should be already connected to the Matrix System Central
Controller inside the large gray enclosure when received in the shipping container. A description of each
control and how it should be connected to the vehicle’s control switches is explained in the following
sections.
Main Lighting Selection
This turns on and off the exterior vehicle lighting from the switch box of the vehicle. The switch must be
connected to +12VDC so that when switched on it supplies +12VDC to the
red wire
of the control cable for
the Matrix System CC.
Dim Functionality
Dim will dim all outputs that are currently being activated by the Matrix System CC to 25%. Dim will not
affect units that are sync’d with the Matrix System CC unless the units have their own dimming wire that is
also tied to the dimming switch of the vehicle. The switch must be connected to +12VDC so that when
switched on it supplies +12VDC to the
of the control cable for the Matrix System CC.
Flash Rate Selection
Flash Rate selection will increase to the next flash rate (single flash, triple flash, quad-pop flash, etc.) when
the Flash Rate wire is held to +12VDC for ~1 to 2 seconds. When held for 2 to 4 seconds it will decrease to
the previous flash rate. When held for longer than 4 seconds it resets to the default flash rate. The switch
must be connected to +12VDC so that when switched on it supplies +12VDC to the
brown wire
of the
control cable for the Matrix System CC.
Flash Sequence Selection
Flash Sequence selection will increase to the next flash sequence (front-back, corner-corner, rotate-left-
right, etc.) when the Flash Sequence wire is held to +12VDC for ~1 to 2 seconds. When held for 2 to 4
seconds it will decrease to the previous flash sequence. When held for longer than 4 seconds it resets to
the default flash sequence. The switch must be connected to +12VDC so that when switched on it supplies
+12VDC to the black wire of the control cable for the Matrix System CC.
Gang Shutoff Selection
Gang Shutoff allows selected lighting on the vehicle to be turned off when traveling in a gang of vehicles.
This makes it easier for the drivers of the trailing vehicles to stay focused on the road. The switch must be
connected to +12VDC so that when switched on it supplies +12VDC to the
green wire
of the control cable
for the Matrix System CC.
