ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

FLASH PATTERNS

YELLOW: Alternating / Simultaneous selection.

(It is assumed that all BLUE wires are connected together.)

Connect to either +V or GROUND (GND).

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.
SPLIT COLOR HEADS:

Z1000 heads with 2 colors always alternate from side to side within themselves.

The YELLOW wire reverses the direction so that two heads can either flash the

same color at the same time or different colors at the same time.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION OF 4 HIDE-A-LED™ USING AN ON/OFF SWITCH AS

WELL AS A MOMENTARY SWITCH TO SELECT FLASH PATTERNS

(NOT SUPPLIED)

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 wires to +V (RED wire) while applying power.

Release

BLUE wires. All heads will reset to Pattern #2.

If you have installed a pattern select push-button, press and hold pat-

tern select while turning power switch ON.

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.

STANDARD PATTERNS:

The HIDE-A-LED™ ships with only the standard patterns enabled. 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 pattern 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

HEAD NOT FLASHING:

Check the RED and BLACK wires for a reversed connection. (Reverse connec-

tion 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 connection 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 be-

tween 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.

The Z1000 will also synchronize with any HIDE-A-LED™ SD24 or BULL

LED™ head. The wiring colors and functions are identical.
