Using the mounting dimensions below, mark the mounting and wire hole
locations onto the proposed mounting surface.
Drill two .250" diameter mounting holes and a 5/8" (minimum) wire access hole
into the mounting surface.
Place the gasket into position on the mounting surface then place the
lighthead/flange assembly in position on the gasket while feeding the wires
through the wire hole.
Insert the two supplied screw grommets through the lighthead/flange assembly
and gasket and all the way into the mounting surface.
With the assembly in position, insert the two supplied #8 sheet metal screws
through the flange mounting holes and into the screw grommets. Tighten the
mounting screws until the lighthead assembly is drawn firmly against the
mounting surface. A torque value of 12 in-lb. (max.) is typically required. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN!
Using appropriately sized wires (minimum 22 AWG), extend the wires to their
designated connections. Refer to the diagram below for wiring and fusing
information.

Note: In order to change flash patterns, the lighthead must be on.
To advance to the next pattern apply +12VDC to the
wire for less than 1 second and release. To cycle back to the previous
pattern apply + to the wire for more than 1 second and release.
When the desired pattern is displayed,
allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern
when initially activated.
This will reset all patterns
back to their default settings. With the light turned off, apply power to the
wire. With power applied to the
wire, turn light on. Allow the unit to run for
3 seconds before removing power from the wire.

NOTE: ALL SWITCHES AND FUSES ARE CUSTOMER SUPPLIED
To SYNC 2 lightheads, configure both lightheads to display the same
Phase 1 (Simultaneous) pattern. Turn power off and connect the GREY wire from
each lighthead together. Activate the lightheads and their patterns will be
synchronized. To configure 2 lightheads to alternate their patterns, advance either
lighthead to Phase 2 (Alternating) of the current pattern.

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!
If mounting this product requires drilling holes, 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 providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.
For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis
ground must be made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to
be connected directly to the NEGATIVE (-) battery post.
Whelen Engineering recommends the use of waterproof butt splices and/or connectors if
that connector could be exposed to moisture.
