ArrowStik® Modules

Selecting the ArrowStik Pattern

The Central Controller is designed to offer user selectable traffic directing and traffic warning flash patterns. Each of the ArrowStik functions (LEFT,

CENTER-OUT, RIGHT or FLASH) can be programmed individually for unique patterns and flash rates. This allows the greatest flexibility when

controlling the various light bar configurations available. The light bar can be ordered with a 5, 6, 7 or 8 lighthead configuration. The light bar

will come from the factory with the Building Fast pattern as the default for LEFT, CENTER-OUT and RIGHT. The default pattern for FLASH is the

Standard Flash. If it is desired to change the pattern for any of the functions, follow the programming procedure below.

STEP 1:

Power-up the light bar. Select the ArrowStik function that you wish to program (LEFT, CENTER-OUT, RIGHT or FLASH).

Make sure +12v is only applied to the function you are trying to program - otherwise program function will not

operate.

STEP 2:

Continue applying power to the wire from Step 1. Refer to Table 2 for the available flash patterns.

Scroll to the next flash pattern by momentarily holding the Pattern Select wire (BLK/RED) to +power for ~1 sec. The light bar will stop flashing when

the wire is connected to +power. Release the wire and the next pattern as listed in Table 2 will begin to flash. The new pattern is automatically

stored each time.

Notice that for the LEFT, CENTER-OUT and RIGHT functions there are four pattern choices (Building, Building with 3 Flash for the end lightheads,

Traveling Ball with 3 Flash for the end lightheads, and Build/Collapse) and three speeds (Fast, Medium and Slow). There are a total of twelve

possible selections for each function and then you return to the top selection.

For the FLASH function there are nine traffic warning patterns available. Flash patterns marked with an asterisk “*” can be selected in Fast, Medium

or Slow flash rate.
NOTE: To restore the Factory Default ArrowStik Flash Patterns, hold the BLK/RED wire to +power for ~four

seconds.

STEP 3:

Repeat steps 1 through 2 for the other ArrowStik functions as desired.
