WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAR SWITCH #3860-3
(ON/OFF)(ON/OFF)(ON/OFF) Switches
1. IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your
new switch. This instruction sheet applies only to the model #SP3860-3. The
model #SP3860-3 is designed to operate three warning lights or strobe paks.
2. CAUTION: All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These
lights are polarity protected only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires
connected to the pos itive terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for
their rated load, in addition to the fuse provided at the switch panel. Testing the
light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on the switch
and light.
3. The black wire from terminal 3 of SW1 is the ground lead and should be
connected to a good chassis ground.
4. The black wires from both warning lights or paks should be connected to good
chassis grounds.
5. Connect the red wire from terminal 2 of SW1 to the red wire from the first strobe
light or Star Pak.
6. Connect the blue wire from terminal 2 of SW2 to the red wire from the second
strobe light or Star Pak.
7. Connect the orange wire from terminal 2 of SW3 to the red wire from the third
strobe light or Star Pak.
8. Connect the fused red wire from terminal 1 of SW1 to the positive side of the
12VDC power through a 5, 10, 15, or 20 amp fuse, depending upon the total
current draw of the lights you are installing. Be sure to check the label on the
warning light for proper voltage and current.
9. When properly installed, SW1 will be on the left side of the switch panel (front
view) and turn warning light #1 on and off, SW2 will be in the center and turn
warning light #2 on and off, and SW3 will be on the right s ide of the switch panel
