Star Headlight & Lantern 9500 Series - 58" Warning Package - Manual (Page 10)

-8-
(Pictured above is one example of a bar with 10 linear strobe heads)
Four wires in your cable harness control the strobe power supplies and the strobe heads
connected to them. The functions of those wires are as follows:
Connect to +12VDC
Red - Front Linear Strobe Heads On/Off
Red w/Black Stripe - Rear Linear Strobe Heads On/Off
Red w/White Stripe - Constant Power (+12 VDC) for Center Strobe Pack
Touch and release to +12VDC
Red w/Green Stripe - Pattern Select
Activating Front and Rear Strobes Separately
(RECOMMENDED FOR MOST APPLICATIONS)
To turn on your front strobe heads
separately from your rear strobes,
connect the Red w/White Stripe wire to
constant +12VDC.
Please Note:
When the Red w/White
Stripe wire is connected to +12VDC the
pack will draw a small current (50 mA). If
your vehicle will be sitting for extended
periods of time (i.e. more than a few days),
it is recommended the Red w/White Stripe
wire be routed through a switch.
Then connect the Red and Red
w/Black Stripe wires through two
separate switches. When one switch is
thrown, only the front strobes will flash.
(#1 & #4 will alternate with #2 & #3).
When the other switch is thrown the rear
strobes will flash.
Proceed to the Pattern Selection section on page 10 to program the flash pattern of your strobe
pack.
Activating All Strobe Heads Together
To turn on all of the strobe heads in your
lightbar together, connect the Red, Red
w/Black Stripe, and Red w/White Stripe
wires together through your switch.
When the switch is thrown, all of your
strobes will flash. (#1 & #4 will alternate
with #2 & #3).
Please note: For this application, your
switch MUST be able to handle 30
amps. This configuration is usually
not recommended, since most
switches are not capable of handling
such a heavy load.
Proceed to the Pattern Selection section on the page 10 to program the flash pattern of your
strobe packs.
