, apply +VDC to the WHT/VIO wire for less
than 1 second. , apply +VDC for more than 1 second.
, turn off power to the lighthead. While applying +VDC to the WHT/VIO, turn the lighthead back on.
Continue to apply voltage for 5 seconds.
Lightheads configured to display the Phase 1 mode of a pattern will flash simultaneously. Any lightheads
configured to display the Phase 2 mode will alternate with any Phase 1 lightheads with the same pattern.
To sync two lightheads, configure both lightheads to display the same Phase 1 pattern.
With the power off, connect the GREY wires from each lighthead together. When the lightheads are
activated, their patterns will be synchronized. To configure the two lightheads to alternate their patterns,
advance the pattern of either lighthead to the Phase 2 mode of the current pattern. The same concept
applies to Phases 3 & 4.
To understand how to use the sync feature with more than two lightheads, the principles will be applied to a
sample system consisting of 4 lightheads with 2 mounted on the rear, driver-side and 2 mounted on the
rear, passenger-side. With all the wiring complete, turn on all 4 lightheads. As shipped from factory, the
lightheads will all display SignalAlert™ 75 - Phase 1. To configure one side to alternate with the other side,
change the pattern for either the passenger or driver side to Phase 2 mode for that pattern.
SYNC-capable LED lightheads can be SYNCed to a SYNC-capable strobe power supply
(such as the CS240S or UPS64LXA) by wiring their GREY wires together. When connected, LED
lightheads in Phase 1 of a pattern will flash with strobe lightheads connected to the
GREEN wire outputs. LED lightheads set to Phase 2 of a pattern will with strobe lightheads
connected to the WHITE wire outputs. GREEN wire outputs always alternate with WHITE wire outputs.

IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installation technician to make sure that the installation
and operation of this product will not interfere or compromise the operation or efficiency of any
vehicle equipment!
Before returning the vehicle to active service, visually confirm the proper operation of this product,
as well as all vehicle components and/or equipment.
Mounting (Standard Bracket)
NOTE:
Wiring
1. Place the bracket against the mounting surface and mark the two mounting hole locations.
2. Drill two mounting holes sized for a #8 sheet metal screw. A wire passage hole may also be needed. De-burr this
hole and install a grommet to protect the wires.
If VHB tape (provided) is used, remove the protective backing from this tape and press it firmly onto the bottom
of the bracket as shown. Clean the mounting surface with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly
before mounting the bracket onto the mounting surface.
3. Route the wires through the hole in the bracket and through the wire passage hole. Secure the ION™ to the bracket
using the hardware provided. Wire as outlined below.
Mounting (Gripper Bracket)
Mounting (Bail Bracket)
1. Apply the protective pads to the bracket in the location shown (side view). Secure the ION™ to the bracket in
the same fashion as outlined for the standard bracket.
2. Position the bracket onto the proposed mounting surface as shown. Apply a drop of Loctite 222 to the threads
of the #6 x ½" PPHMS provided.
3. Thread these screws into the underside of the bracket as shown and secure the bracket to the mounting
surface.
1. Secure the bail bracket to the desired surface using the hardware provided. Mount the ION onto the shield
bracket and install this assembly onto the bail bracket as shown.

Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of
automotive electronics, systems and procedures.
Failure to use specified installation parts and/or hardware will void the product warranty!
The installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts could be
damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling
begins. Also de-burr any holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install
grommets into all wire passage holes.
Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag.
Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury
or death. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the air bag deployment area. The
User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on
