Control Cable:
Applying +12 VDC
to a control wire
will enable that
wires function.
The control cable
connects to your
control head or
switch box and
is fused there.

EXAMPLE: If you are using the YELLOW, WHITE, & WHITE/ BROWN
function wires, the total amp draw is
ou
7.5 amps. Multiply this by 1.25
which comes out to 9.375 amps. Y
must fuse the RED power wire
at 10 amps.
Power Cable Fusing Chart: After determining which function wires
you will use, add up the amp rating of each function wire. You must
then multiply this by 1.25 (see warning) and fuse the RED power wire
at this rating.
Wiring Designations: The control wire functions shown below are given for a general reference only and may not match the
wire designations of your individual lightbar. For the wire functions of the specific lightbar you ordered, refer to the wiring
sheet attached to the instruction manual shipped with the lightbar.
