Code 3 MX 7000 - Manual (Page 9)

Dim Operation
Lightbar LED modules are equipped with a low power "Dimming" mode as standard. Dimming will be controlled by
applying +12V by way of the appropriate wire(color) in the wire harness/wire list. When DIM is engaged the LED's will
operate in a reduced power mode.
The DIM control wires( two white wires) located on each of the modules are connected from one module to
the next. To disable the dimming function on a particular module, disconnect the white wires. Then
reconnect the white wire to the white wire on another module that has dimming enabled.
The Dim setting reduces the light output of emergency warning lights reducing the effectiveness of
them especially in brightly lit areas. Failure to use adequate light for the circumstances can cause
motorists to fail to see the emergency vehicle and lead to serious personal injury or death. Never
use the DIM setting in a brightly lit area. Use of the DIM setting may cause emergency lights to not
comply with applicable emergency warning light standards. Use caution when using the DIM setting
to assure that motorists can clearly see the emergency vehicle.
!
WARNING!
For safety purposes, the corner modules in lightbars are not connected to the dimming circuit.
This ensures that when corner modules are turned on, full 360 degree coverage and
compliance with SAE warning light standards is provided.
Code 3® OPTIX™ 360 DEGREE CORNER MODULES
The MX7000® Lightbar may be equipped with Code 3® OPTIX™ 360 degree corner LED modules that provide a full 360
degree of warning.The optic has been designed to exceed all applicable requirements for 360 degree warning devices in Red,
Blue, and Amber. The new OPTIX corner module is a ( 1" X 6" ) module and uses larger, higher efficiency, TIR optics to
produce an enhanced corner signal over the exisitng ( 1" X 4" ) Code 3 LED X™ corner module. While the OPTIX will become
the standard corner module for most configurations, the LED X corner module will still be available and may be required for
some configurations. Installation and Operation for both modules will be the same. Consult the factory for further information.
Operating Specifications for 360 degree module:
Operating Voltage: 10-16 VDC, Reverse Polarity Protection
Current Draw :
Red/Amber - .5A avg @ 12.8 Volts
Blue/White - .8A avg @ 12.8 Volts
Available Colors - Red, Blue, Amber and White
