Harness Wire Colors
Connect the appropriate wires from the Wire
Harness to your switchbox (user provided).
Whenever +12VDC is applied to the Orange
or Brown wires, the corresponding heads will
be activated (as long the red wire is
connected to +12VDC and the black wire is
connected to the negative side of the battery).
Note: The bare “drain” wire should be
connected to a good chassis ground.
Black Wire: Connect to the negative side of the battery.
Red Wire: Connect to the positive terminal of the battery through a fuse at the
battery for 125% of the rated load of all your components. The current
for each component is shown on the Parts list on page 7. Do not use
1/4" diameter glass fuses, as they are not suitable for continuous duty
above 20 amps.
Please Note: When the red wire is connected to +12VDC the lightbar will draw a small
current (~100 mA). If your vehicle will be sitting for extended periods of time
(i.e. more than a few days), it is recommended the red wire be routed
through a switch or ignition switched relay.
Red w/Green Wire: Pattern Select wire - see the LED Flash Pattern Selection section on
page 6.
Purple Wire: Used if you need the ability to switch your lightbar to low power at
night. Leave this wire disconnected to run on constant high power.
Connect it to ground through a switch to allow switching to low power
(low when purple connected to ground).

Note: The low power setting decreases the light output of emergency warning lights,
thus reducing their effectiveness. Star does not recommend the use of low power
mode in brightly lit areas (including daylight). Lightbars running on low power may
not comply with applicable emergency warning light standards and/or specifications.
