DIAGNOSTIC
LED
1. For 110/120VAC models, the black and white wires may be connected either way
(polarity is not important).
2. For all other models, the black or white wire on your light is the ground lead and should
be connected to a good chassis ground.
3. The red wire on your light should be connected to the positive side of the power through
a fused switch, checking your warning light for proper voltage and amperage.
4. If you are installing a single-flash, 12-48 VDC, or rotating model, you are now finished
and may skip the remaining steps.
5. For strobe models with a purple wire:
If your light comes with a purple wire, it has the ability to switch between Low and High
power (if desired).
To run on High Power Only:
Connect the Purple wire with the
Black wire to Ground.
To run on Low Power Only:
Disconnect the Purple wire (or
cut it short and tape it off).
If you intend to make use of the
High/Low option through a switch,
refer to the wiring diagram to the
right for proper connections using
a two-switch switch panel
available from Star. When the
purple wire is grounded through
your switch, the light will operate
under High Power.
These lights also have an LED Diagnostic Indicator.
The LED indicator is designed to flash when the strobe
tube should be flashing. If a strobe light is not working,
troubleshooting becomes easy with this new LED.
Simply examine the circuit when power is applied to it.
If the strobe tube is not
flashing, but the LED is flashing, you have a bad strobe
tube. If the LED is not flashing, the circuit is either not
receiving the proper voltage, or the circuit has failed.

The circuits now found in these lights have a jumper on them allowing the end user to select
the desired flash pattern (singleflash, doubleflash, or quadflash). If you wish to change the
pattern, activate the light and follow the instructions below.
1. The Pattern Select Jumper is stored on pins 1 & 2.
2. To change the pattern, remove the jumper from pins 1 & 2,
momentarily place it over pins 2 & 3, then remove it. The
pattern should advance to the next.
3. Continue to touch and release the jumper to pins 2 & 3 to
cycle through the patterns:
Singleflash Doubleflash Quadflash
4. Once you have selected a pattern, replace the jumper on
pins 1 & 2.
