Code 3 Single Head Wildcat - Manual (Page 2)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FLASH PATTERNS
YELLOW: Alternating / Simultaneous selection.
The BLUE wires of all HIDE-A-LED™ heads must be connected to-
gether for the alternating /simultaneous function to work.
Connect to either +V or GROUND (GND).
The YELLOW wire makes the head fire AT THE SAME TIME or AL-
TERNATE with the other heads in the system.
Heads with YELLOW connected to +V fire at the same time.
Heads with YELLOW connected to GND fire at the same time.
Heads with YELLOW connected to +V will ALTERNATE with heads
that have YELLOW connected to GND.
The YELLOW wire has no function in STEADY ON mode.
SPLIT COLOR: Split color heads will always alternate flash the two
colors. The YELLOW wire will select which colors flash at the same
time and which alternate.
The HIDE-A-LED™ will also synchronize with any BULL LED™
head. The wiring colors and functions are identical.

POWER-UP RESET:
After installing the system it is best to do a POWER-UP RESET the
first time to ensure that all heads are in sync.
Touch BLUE wire to +V while applying power for 1 second.
Release BLUE wire. All heads will reset to Pattern #2.
If you have installed a pattern select pushbutton, press and hold pat-
tern select while turning power switch ON. Release pattern select after
1 second. To select a flash pattern, touch BLUE to +V or press pattern
select switch to increment the flash pattern. The heads will remember
the selected pattern even if power is removed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
HEAD NOT FLASHING:
Check the RED and BLACK wires for a reversed connection. (Reverse connection will
not damage the unit). Check RED and BLACK wires for either a bad splice or a corroded
ground connection.
HEADS NOT SYNCHRONIZING:
Check for a short circuit on the BLUE wire to either +V or GROUND.
Saltwater on the wire connections will short circuit the sync signal on the BLUE wire. Check
for non-functional heads in the system. If any one of the heads has a bad GROUND con-
nection it can cause the sync signal to become corrupted. If any one of the heads has it’s
RED and BLACK wires reverse connected it will corrupt the sync signal.
FLASH PATTERN CHANGING:
If the flash pattern changes on it’s own there may be an intermittent short between the
BLUE wire and +V. Check for water in the wiring connections. If any one of the heads in
the system has an intermittent GROUND connection it can also cause the flash pattern to
change.

STANDARD PATTERNS:
The HIDE-A-LED™ ships with only the standard patterns enabled (1
through 8). To enable cycle flash patterns follow the procedure below.
CYCLE PATTERNS:
You may add patterns 9 through 16 by following this procedure:
1) Touch BLUE wires to +V (RED wire) while applying power.
If you have installed a pattern select push-button, press and hold pat-
tern select while turning power switch ON.
2) Hold BLUE wires on +V for 5 SECONDS (heads will not be flashing
during this time). After 5 SECONDS the heads will flash once or twice
to indicate the flash pattern list that has been selected:
ONE FLASH = Standard Patterns only.
TWO FLASHES = Standard + Cycle patterns.
3) Remove the BLUE wires from +V (or release push-button).
You may switch the pattern set at any time as many times as you wish.
All heads will remember the pattern set that was selected even when
power is removed.
