Master/Slave Operation (See Directional Modules section below if so equipped)
Some 360 degree corner modules consist of a "master" and a "slave" driver circuit board and LED light engines with a single
integrated heatsink bracket. The "master" circuit board (rear position) must always be powered for the "slave"(front position)
to fl ash. The "master" is always located in the rear position of the module. The lightbar is wired to allow running only the rear
facing LED on each module by removing power to the front facing "slave" module. This gives a "front-cutoff" function. The
fl ash pattern for each corner pair can be selected by shorting together the 2-pin header J1, on the "master" momentarily and
releasing. The module is set-up for "Cycle Flash" as a standard. Holding down the 2-pin header for 5 seconds, or longer, and
releasing will return the pattern to Cycle Flash. The following chart describes the available patterns and order (Both heads will
be in the mode selected. Both heads will fl ash together unless in Front Cut-off mode):

LED DIRECTIONAL MODULES
In addition to the 360 degree warning modules the lightbar may be equipped with a number of single head front-rear warning
LED modules. These modules are available in either the, PriZm II LED REFLECTOR Module or PriZm II 3-LED REFLECTOR
in steady-burn and fl ashing versions. The steady-burn versions can be fl ashed by connecting the module(s) to any fl asher that
does not require ground through the load (example: Code 3® 900 series fl asher). The fl ashing modules will have "Cycle Flash"
as the standard pattern. The fl ash pattern can be changed by shorting the 2-pin header, J1 as shown in Figure 1, momentarily
then releasing. Table 2 shows the available patterns and the order when stepping through patterns. The module can be reset to
"Cycle Flash" by shorting the header for greater than 5 seconds and releasing.
Operating Specifi cations for front-rear module:
Operating Voltage: 10-16 VDC, Reverse Polarity Protection
Current Draw: Flashing Module:
Red/Amber - .25A avg @ 12.8 Volts
Blue/White - .4A avg @ 12.8 Volts
Steady Burn Module:
Red/Amber - .5A avg @ 12.8 Volts
Blue/White - .8A avg @ 12.8 Volts

LED TAKEDOWN & ALLEY MODULES
In addition to the LED warning modules the lightbar may be equipped with optional LED Takedown and Alley modules. These
modules provide equivalent performance to standard 50W MR16 Halogen lamps. Lamp replacement is not required due to the
long life of LEDs.
Operating Specifi cations for LED Takedown & Alley modules:
Operating Voltage: 10-16 VDC, Reverse Polarity Protection
Current Draw: 1.5A
Available Colors: White
