Specifications
Wiring for Narrowstik
™
/ LC-Stik models with outboard flashing
modules:
Alternatively the Blue (positive) wire can be connected through a switch to +12V and the Brown ( negative )
wire can connected to ground. When the switch is closed the Flashing modules will be enabled.
To enable the Red/Blue half of the dual color heads, touch the White wire to ground. To disable
the red/blue half of the dual color heads when the control head is active, you will need the LC-Stik
override circuit ( S81499) which is included with all dual color LC-Stik models. When installed this
module will disable the red/blue half of the LC-Stik. See the override circuit manual for specific
wiring details.
Dual Color LC-Stik models:
Dimming
All Narrowstik models come equipped with a DIM, low power, mode as standard that allows the
user to reduce the L.E.D. intensity, if desired. The current consumption is also significantly reduced
in this mode ( approximately 60% ). Dim mode is controlled by the White wire in the 11-wire cable,
see figure 5, page 5. When +12V is applied to this white wire the modules will DIM until removed.
The Narrowstik control head has an output dedicated to provide this +12V, see the Control Head
manual for details.
Note: This feature is not available on LC-Stik models.
When independently flashing modules are selected to replace the standard modules in the outboard positions
the BLUE and the Brown wires will be used to activate these modules and will not be connected to the Blue /
Brown outputs on the control head as usual. Instead the Blue* ( positive) wire can be connected to +12V
and the Brown* ( negative ) wire can be connected to the AUX output on the control head. When the AUX
button is activated the flashing modules will be enabled. Refer to the control head manual for further details on
use of the AUX function.
Note: The White wire on a dual color LC-Stik module
is not for dimming. There is no dimming feature on an
LC-Stik.
WARNING!
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.
